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.

Notes

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.

Activity summary

14-3-3 Theta also known as 14-3-3 protein theta is a member of the 14-3-3 protein family which consists of seven distinct isoforms in humans. It acts as an adaptor or scaffold aiding in the regulation of signal transduction pathways by binding to phosphoserine-containing proteins. The protein typically has a molecular mass of approximately 28-32 kDa. It is abundantly expressed in various tissues with a high concentration in the brain where it interacts with a number of neuronal proteins.

Biological function summary

14-3-3 Theta plays a significant role in cell cycle regulation apoptosis and brain development. It often forms part of larger protein complexes acting as a bridge to facilitate interactions between different proteins. The protein aids in maintaining cellular homeostasis and mediates various signal transduction processes by changing the conformation of its binding partners which influences their activity.

Pathways

14-3-3 Theta is actively involved in the MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT pathways which are critical for cell proliferation differentiation and survival. Through these pathways the protein interacts with a variety of partners including thr-308-phosphorylated Akt and Raf kinases. 14-3-3 Theta's ability to bind different phosphorylated targets enables it to influence diverse cellular processes within these pathways.

Associated diseases and disorders

14-3-3 Theta has been linked to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Notably its interaction with tau protein plays an important role in Alzheimer's disease as abnormal phosphorylation and aggregation of tau is a characteristic of the disorder. Furthermore disruptions in 14-3-3 Theta function have connections to cancer by interacting with signaling proteins like the tumor suppressor p53 leading to altered cell growth and survival.
