Gene: ATP5F1A
Official Full Name: ATP synthase F1 subunit alphaprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a subunit of mitochondrial ATP synthase. Mitochondrial ATP synthase catalyzes ATP synthesis, using an electrochemical gradient of protons across the inner membrane during oxidative phosphorylation. ATP synthase is composed of two linked multi-subunit complexes: the soluble catalytic core, F1, and the membrane-spanning component, Fo, comprising the proton channel. The catalytic portion of mitochondrial ATP synthase consists of 5 different subunits (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon) assembled with a stoichiometry of 3 alpha, 3 beta, and a single representative of the other 3. The proton channel consists of three main subunits (a, b, c). This gene encodes the alpha subunit of the catalytic core. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the different isoforms have been identified. Pseudogenes of this gene are located on chromosomes 9, 2, and 16. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]

ATP5F1A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to precisely disrupt the ATP5F1A gene, which encodes a crucial subunit of the mitochondrial ATP synthase complex. This gene is vital for ATP production, being integral to the process of oxidative phosphorylation. By creating knockout cell lines, researchers can investigate the downstream effects of ATP depletion on cellular metabolism, signaling pathways, and overall cellular homeostasis.
The key functionality of these knockout cell lines lies in their ability to elucidate the role of ATP5F1A in energy metabolism and to model conditions such as mitochondrial dysfunction, which is prevalent in various diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders and certain cancers. The absence of this gene enables researchers to study compensatory mechanisms and alternative pathways cells employ in response to disrupted ATP synthesis, thereby providing insights into potential therapeutic targets.
The scientific importance of ATP5F1A Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to both basic research and clinical applications. In laboratory settings, these cell lines serve as a powerful tool for drug screening and preclinical studies, allowing scientists to assess the efficacy and mechanism of new therapeutic compounds under controlled conditions. Furthermore, in clinical research, understanding the metabolic implications of ATP5F1A knockout can inform strategies for managing mitochondrial diseases and customizing treatment approaches.
Compared to alternative methods, such as chemical inhibitors or transient gene silencing techniques, ATP5F1A Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a stable and reproducible model for long-term studies. This stability ensures that observations are consistent, providing reliable data that can accelerate the pace of research and discovery.
For researchers and clinicians focused on mitochondrial biology and its associated pathologies, these knockout cell lines represent a valuable resource that can facilitate breakthroughs in understanding disease mechanisms and the development of innovative therapies.
