FBXO8 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: FBXO8

Official Full Name: F-box protein 8provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the F-box protein family which is characterized by an approximately 40 amino acid motif, the F-box. The F-box proteins constitute one of the four subunits of the ubiquitin protein ligase complex called SCFs (SKP1-cullin-F-box), which function in phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitination. The F-box proteins are divided into 3 classes: Fbws containing WD-40 domains, Fbls containing leucine-rich repeats, and Fbxs containing either different protein-protein interaction modules or no recognizable motifs. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the Fbxs class. It contains a C-terminal amino acid sequence that bears a significant similarity with a portion of yeast Sec7p, a critical regulator of vesicular protein transport. This human protein may interact with ADP-ribosylation factor(s)(ARFs) and exhibit ARF-GEF (guanine nucleotide exchange factor) activity. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

FBXO8 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell models created through targeted gene editing to effectively silence the expression of the FBXO8 gene, which encodes a member of the F-box protein family. This family is pivotal in regulating protein turnover through ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, a fundamental biological process implicated in various cellular functions, including cell cycle regulation and signal transduction. By providing a genetically defined environment, these knockout cell lines allow researchers to dissect the biological roles of FBXO8 and its contribution to disease mechanisms.

The primary function of FBXO8 knockout cell lines is to facilitate the exploration of FBXO8's involvement in critical cellular processes. The disruption of this gene leads to altered levels of important signaling proteins, thus providing insights into the dynamics of protein degradation and its broader implications in cellular homeostasis. Mechanistically, this product enables the study of how FBXO8 impacts processes such as tumorigenesis, immune response, and cellular stress responses, translating findings into potential therapeutic pathways.

In research and clinical settings, FBXO8 gene knockout cell lines serve as powerful tools for elucidating the role of this protein in specific cancers and autoimmune diseases. Their applications include drug development, biomarker discovery, and understanding resistance mechanisms to various treatments. Unlike traditional methods that may rely on non-specific inhibitors or transient knockdowns, these stable knockout models offer reproducibility and reliability, making experimental results more robust.

The value of FBXO8 gene knockout cell lines lies not only in their technical precision but also in their ability to enhance the understanding of complex biological phenomena. For researchers and clinicians, they present a unique opportunity to advance knowledge and develop innovative therapeutic strategies tailored to the modulation of protein degradation pathways.
