False colour image of Western blot : Anti-TAZ antibody staining at 1 μg/ml, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab110239 was shown to bind specifically to TAZ. A band was observed at 52 kDa in wild-type HeLa cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in WWTR1 knockout cell line ab281598 (knockout cell lysate ab282950). To generate this image, wild-type and WWTR1 knockout HeLa cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 5 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

Handling procedures

Initial handling guidelines

Upon arrival, the vial should be stored in liquid nitrogen vapor phase and not at -80°C. Storage at -80°C may result in loss of viability.

1. Thaw the vial in 37°C water bath for approximately 1-2 minutes.
2. Transfer the cell suspension (0.8 mL) to a 15 mL/50 mL conical sterile polypropylene centrifuge tube containing 8.4 mL pre-warmed culture medium, wash vial with an additional 0.8 mL culture medium (total volume 10 mL) to collect remaining cells, and centrifuge at 201 x g (rcf) for 5 minutes at room temperature. 10 mL represents minimum recommended dilution. 20 mL represents maximum recommended dilution.
3. Resuspend the cell pellet in 5 mL pre-warmed culture medium and count using a haemocytometer or alternative cell counting method seed all remaining cells into a T25.
4. Incubate the culture at 37°C incubator with 5% CO2. Check the culture one day after revival and continue to check until 80% confluent. Media change can be given if needed.
5. Once confluent passage into an appropriate flask at a density of 2x104 cells/cm2. Seeding density is given as a guide only and should be scaled to align with individual lab schedules. Cultures should be monitored daily.

Subculture guidelines
  • All seeding densities should be based on cell counts gained by established methods.
  • A guide seeding density of 2x104 cells/cm2 is recommended.
  • Cells should be passaged when they have achieved 80-90% confluence.
Culture medium

DMEM (High Glucose) + 10% FBS

Cryopreservation medium

Supplementary information

TAZ also known as WWTR1 (WW Domain-Containing Transcription Regulator 1) acts as a transcriptional co-activator in cells. TAZ has a molecular mass of approximately 45 kDa. This protein appears in various tissues including the lung kidney brain and heart. TAZ interacts with other transcription factors to influence gene expression playing a role in cellular signaling and development.
Biological function summary

TAZ works as a part of the Hippo signaling pathway regulating cell growth proliferation and apoptosis. It changes cellular responses through interactions with other proteins such as TEAD transcription factors. TAZ can act within the cytoplasm or the nucleus changing its location in the cell based on physiological signals. It operates independently as well as in concert with other molecules assisting in maintaining tissue homeostasis and regeneration.

Pathways

TAZ functions as an essential element of the Hippo pathway which controls organ size and suppresses cancer. It plays significant roles in the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway coordinating with YAP (Yes-associated protein) a well-known partner in these pathways. TAZ and YAP together influence transcriptional outcomes for numerous genes adjusting to the needs of various cellular contexts which affect cell behavior significantly.

TAZ associates with cancer and fibrosis. In many cancers TAZ exhibits high activity often linked with poor prognosis due to its role in promoting cell proliferation and survival. TAZ interacts with beta-catenin in cancer contexts influencing signaling that drives cancer progression. In fibrosis aberrant TAZ signaling leads to excessive tissue scarring working alongside CTGF (Connective Tissue Growth Factor) to support this pathological development.
