DPM1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: DPM1

Official Full Name: dolichyl-phosphate mannosyltransferase subunit 1, catalyticprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Dolichol-phosphate mannose (Dol-P-Man) serves as a donor of mannosyl residues on the lumenal side of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Lack of Dol-P-Man results in defective surface expression of GPI-anchored proteins. Dol-P-Man is synthesized from GDP-mannose and dolichol-phosphate on the cytosolic side of the ER by the enzyme dolichyl-phosphate mannosyltransferase. Human DPM1 lacks a carboxy-terminal transmembrane domain and signal sequence and is regulated by DPM2. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital disorder of glycosylation type Ie. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]

Background

DPM1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to lack the DPM1 gene, essential for the synthesis of dolichol phosphate, a key component in the N-glycosylation pathway. These knockout cell lines provide researchers with a critical tool for investigating the role of DPM1 in glycobiology and its implications in various diseases, particularly those associated with glycosylation defects. By effectively disabling this gene, the cell lines allow for the assessment of phenotypic variability in glycoprotein processing and cellular responses.

The primary mechanism by which DPM1 gene knockout cell lines function lies in their ability to elucidate the biochemical pathways impacted by the absence of dolichol phosphate synthesis. This deficiency leads to altered glycosylation patterns, enabling scientists to explore the downstream effects on protein folding, stability, and function. Such insights can be crucial for understanding pathological conditions like congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs), cancer, and metabolic syndromes.

In research and clinical settings, these cell lines are invaluable for drug development and therapeutic research, as they serve as models to test potential treatments targeting glycosylation-related disorders. Their specificity contributes significantly to the understanding of disease mechanisms, potentially leading to novel therapeutic approaches.

Compared to alternative cell lines that may not accurately represent glycosylation defects, DPM1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines uniquely provide an authentic representation of how the absence of the DPM1 gene impacts cellular physiology. Their precise genetic modification allows for reliable and reproducible results, essential for rigorous scientific inquiry.
