LIG3 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: LIG3

Official Full Name: DNA ligase 3provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the DNA ligase family. Each member of this family encodes a protein that catalyzes the joining of DNA ends but they each have a distinct role in DNA metabolism. The protein encoded by this gene is involved in excision repair and is located in both the mitochondria and nucleus, with translation initiation from the upstream start codon allowing for transport to the mitochondria and translation initiation from a downstream start codon allowing for transport to the nucleus. Additionally, alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

LIG3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell models specifically designed to study the role of the LIG3 gene, which encodes the DNA ligase III enzyme. This enzyme plays a critical role in DNA repair and replication processes, particularly in maintaining genomic stability. By knocking out the LIG3 gene, these cell lines allow researchers to investigate the downstream effects on cellular functions, DNA damage response pathways, and overall cell viability, thereby providing insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying various genetic disorders and cancers.

Functionally, the absence of LIG3 results in a compromised ability to repair DNA double-strand breaks through non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) and impairs the repair of single-strand breaks due to its role in eukaryotic DNA ligation. Researchers can utilize these knockout cell lines to explore the implications of LIG3 deficiency, such as increased sensitivity to genotoxic agents and altered apoptosis pathways. The mechanistic understanding gained from these models can advance knowledge surrounding disease etiology and potential therapeutic strategies.

In a research context, LIG3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines serve as a valuable tool for scientists studying cancer biology, hereditary diseases, and the effectiveness of DNA-damaging therapies. They offer a unique advantage over traditional models by allowing targeted investigations into specific gene functions without the confounding effects present in whole-organism studies.

Moreover, these cell lines are invaluable for drug discovery and development, enabling the testing of new compounds that may target DNA repair mechanisms. When compared to alternative approaches, such as transient knockdowns or use of chemical inhibitors, the stable knockout provided by these cell lines offers a consistent platform for long-term studies, ensuring reproducibility and reliability in experimental results.

For researchers and clinicians alike, the use of LIG3 Gene Knockout Cell Lines can dramatically enhance the understanding of disease mechanisms and the effectiveness of potential interventions. Our company specializes in providing high-quality, rigorously validated genetic models that support cutting-edge biological research, underscoring our commitment to scientific advancement and innovation in the field of molecular biology.
