Product details

Although we aim to provide customers with a homozygous clone, feasibility will be dependent on the biology of the protein. Should only heterozygous edits be achieved, you will be notified of the outcome and be asked to confirm whether the cell line is acceptable. All clones will be accompanied with DNA sequencing data, and the mutation description.

Recommended control: Human wild-type A549 cell line (ab288558). Please note a wild-type cell line is not automatically included with a knockout cell line order, if required please add recommended wild-type cell line at no additional cost using the code WILDTYPE-TMTK1.

We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

This product is subject to limited use licenses from The Broad Institute and ERS Genomics Limited, and is developed with patented technology. For full details of the limited use licenses and relevant patents please refer to our limited use license and patent pages.

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.
  • Do not allow the cell density to exceed 7x104 cells/cm2.
Culture medium

F-12K + 10% FBS

Cryopreservation medium

Supplementary information

XBP1 also known as X-box binding protein 1 is a transcription factor with a mass of approximately 33 kDa. It is mainly expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum of cells where it plays a significant role in regulating the unfolded protein response (UPR). XBP1 exists in two forms: an unspliced form (XBP1u) and a spliced form (XBP1s). The splicing of XBP1 mRNA is mediated by the endoribonuclease IRE1 and is a response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. This process results in a shift of the reading frame which leads to the production of a new functional transcription factor.
Biological function summary

The action of XBP1 participates in processes critical for cell survival under stress conditions particularly in the UPR. It activates genes involved in protein folding secretion and degradation to alleviate stress within the endoplasmic reticulum. XBP1 acts as part of the larger mechanism that ensures cellular homeostasis by maintaining protein quality control. It forms a complex network with other transcription factors ensuring an integrated response to stress stimuli in various tissues including pancreatic beta cells and immune cells.

Pathways

XBP1 functions intricately within the UPR and is linked to the insulin signaling pathway. It works alongside proteins such as ATF6 and PERK to coordinate the cellular response to endoplasmic reticulum stress and sustain essential cellular processes. The IRE1-XBP1 pathway represents one arm of the UPR and shows interaction with C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) as part of the stress signaling pathways modulating apoptosis if adaptation fails. XBP1 also influences lipid metabolism and cellular differentiation through its pathway connections impacting wide-ranging physiological processes.

Dysfunctions of XBP1 have associations with metabolic diseases and multiple myeloma. Altered XBP1 activity links to diabetes due to its role in protein homeostasis in pancreatic beta cells involving modulation of insulin secretion and sensitivity. In cancer particularly multiple myeloma XBP1 interacts with proteins such as B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) influencing cell survival and proliferation. Targeting the XBP1 signaling axis shows potential as a therapeutic strategy for managing disorders resulting from dysregulated protein folding and stress responses.
