Gene: KNL1
Official Full Name: kinetochore scaffold 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the multiprotein assembly that is required for creation of kinetochore-microtubule attachments and chromosome segregation. The encoded protein functions as a scaffold for proteins that influence the spindle assembly checkpoint during the eukaryotic cell cycle and it interacts with at least five different kinetochore proteins and two checkpoint kinases. In adults, this gene is predominantly expressed in normal testes, various cancer cell lines and primary tumors from other tissues and is ubiquitously expressed in fetal tissues. This gene was originally identified as a fusion partner with the mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL) gene in t(11;15)(q23;q14). Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive primary microcephaly-4 (MCPH4). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. Additional splice variants have been described but their biological validity has not been confirmed. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

KNL1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines wherein the KNL1 gene has been inactivated, allowing researchers to study the gene's function and its implications in various biological processes, particularly in cellular division and cancer research. KNL1 encodes a crucial component of the kinetochore, a protein complex necessary for proper chromosome segregation during mitosis. The knockout of this gene disrupts normal mitotic function, enabling the study of its role in chromosomal stability and cancer progression.
The primary mechanism of action involves eliminating KNL1's contribution to the kinetochore assembly, leading to mitotic defects which serve as a model for understanding how errors in chromosome segregation contribute to aneuploidy and tumorigenesis. By utilizing KNL1 knockout cell lines, researchers can investigate compensatory mechanisms, assess the effects of drug candidates targeting mitotic pathways, and screen for synthetic lethality in cancer therapies.
Scientifically, these cell lines are instrumental in elucidating the molecular underpinnings of cancer biology and may provide targeted approaches for the development of novel therapeutic strategies. In clinical settings, manipulating KNL1 could lead to improved outcomes in cancer treatments by identifying vulnerabilities in tumors related to chromosomal instability.
What sets KNL1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from traditional models is their specificity and the advantages they offer in studying the precise biological implications of KNL1 in a controlled environment. Unlike complete knockout organisms that can exhibit compensatory mechanisms, these cell lines provide a focused platform for mechanistic exploration, drastically enhancing experimental accuracy.
For researchers and clinicians, the adoption of KNL1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines can expedite the process of drug discovery and provide critical insights into cancer biology, making them invaluable tools in translational research.
