ATM Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ATM

Official Full Name: ATM serine/threonine kinaseprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the PI3/PI4-kinase family. This protein is an important cell cycle checkpoint kinase that phosphorylates; thus, it functions as a regulator of a wide variety of downstream proteins, including tumor suppressor proteins p53 and BRCA1, checkpoint kinase CHK2, checkpoint proteins RAD17 and RAD9, and DNA repair protein NBS1. This protein and the closely related kinase ATR are thought to be master controllers of cell cycle checkpoint signaling pathways that are required for cell response to DNA damage and for genome stability. Mutations in this gene are associated with ataxia telangiectasia, an autosomal recessive disorder. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]

Background

ATM Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cell lines in which the Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) gene has been deliberately disrupted. The ATM protein plays a critical role in the cellular response to DNA damage, particularly in the repair of double-strand breaks through the activation of the homologous recombination repair pathway. By knocking out this vital gene, these cell lines serve as a powerful tool for researchers to investigate the biological consequences of ATM deficiency, including studies related to cancer susceptibility, neurodegenerative diseases, and cellular aging.

The key functions of ATM Gene Knockout Cell Lines revolve around their ability to simulate the pathophysiological conditions found in various disorders characterized by impaired DNA repair mechanisms. Researchers can utilize these cell lines to delve into the cellular signaling pathways affected when ATM activity is compromised. This can include studying altered cell cycle regulation, increased genomic instability, and enhanced sensitivity to ionizing radiation or chemotherapeutic agents. Such insights are invaluable for understanding disease mechanisms and developing targeted therapeutic strategies.

From a scientific perspective, these cell lines have significant applications in both fundamental research and translational medicine. They can be employed in drug discovery pipelines, enabling the identification of agents that specifically target pathways connected to ATM deficiency. Furthermore, in clinical settings, understanding the implications of ATM gene disruptions can aid in the stratification of patients for certain therapies, particularly in oncology.

The advantages of utilizing ATM Gene Knockout Cell Lines over other models lie in their specificity and the precision with which they replicate the effects of ATM loss. Unlike general knockout models, these cell lines provide a consistent and easy-to-manage system that is ideal for high-throughput screening and mechanistic studies, allowing researchers to focus on the effects of ATM alone without confounding variables.

The value of these cell lines to researchers and clinicians is underscored by their potential to facilitate groundbreaking discoveries and deepen our understanding of diseases linked to DNA damage repair deficiencies. By offering a reliable and innovative platform for investigation, we empower the scientific community to unlock new avenues in disease treatment and prevention.
