Gene: ASCC1
Official Full Name: activating signal cointegrator 1 complex subunit 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a subunit of the activating signal cointegrator 1 (ASC-1) complex. The ASC-1 complex is a transcriptional coactivator that plays an important role in gene transactivation by multiple transcription factors including activating protein 1 (AP-1), nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kB) and serum response factor (SRF). The encoded protein contains an N-terminal KH-type RNA-binding motif which is required for AP-1 transactivation by the ASC-1 complex. Mutations in this gene are associated with Barrett esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma. Alternatively spliced transcripts encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

ASCC1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines created to lack the ASCC1 gene, which encodes a protein implicated in various cellular processes, including DNA repair, transcriptional regulation, and response to DNA damage. By specifically knocking out the ASCC1 gene, these cell lines serve as invaluable tools for elucidating the gene's functional roles in cellular homeostasis and pathology.
The primary mechanism by which ASCC1 knockout affects cellular functions lies in its integral role in the activation of the homologous recombination repair pathway, which is crucial for maintaining genomic integrity. Without ASCC1, cells exhibit impaired DNA repair capabilities, enhancing sensitivity to genotoxic agents and providing a robust platform for studying the underlying mechanisms of DNA repair and the cellular response to DNA damage. This is critical for researchers aiming to explore cancer biology, as many tumors exhibit dysregulation of DNA repair pathways.
In terms of scientific importance, ASCC1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines can be utilized across various applications, including drug development, toxicity testing, and understanding cancer resistance mechanisms. Their relevance extends to translational research, where insights gained can be translated into therapeutic strategies targeting DNA repair deficiencies in tumors.
Compared to alternative models, such as wild-type cell lines or CRISPR-based knockouts without a verified gene disruption, ASCC1 gene knockout cell lines offer a more reliable and consistent phenotype for experimentation. This facilitates reproducible results, ensuring that researchers can draw significant conclusions from their studies.
For researchers and clinicians investigating genomic stability, cancer biology, or therapeutic responses to DNA-damaging agents, these knockout cell lines represent a profound asset. The ability to study the implications of ASCC1 loss on cellular functions not only furthers our understanding of fundamental biological processes but also provides a pathway to innovative therapeutic opportunities.
