MRPL15 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: MRPL15

Official Full Name: mitochondrial ribosomal protein L15provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomal proteins are encoded by nuclear genes and help in protein synthesis within the mitochondrion. Mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) consist of a small 28S subunit and a large 39S subunit. They have an estimated 75% protein to rRNA composition compared to prokaryotic ribosomes, where this ratio is reversed. Another difference between mammalian mitoribosomes and prokaryotic ribosomes is that the latter contain a 5S rRNA. Among different species, the proteins comprising the mitoribosome differ greatly in sequence, and sometimes in biochemical properties, which prevents easy recognition by sequence homology. This gene encodes a 39S subunit protein that belongs to the EcoL15 ribosomal protein family. A pseudogene corresponding to this gene is found on chromosome 15q. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

MRPL15 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to eliminate the expression of the MRPL15 gene, which encodes a critical protein component of the mitochondrial ribosome. These cell lines serve as invaluable tools for studying mitochondrial function, cellular metabolism, and the pathophysiological roles of mitochondrial dysfunction in various diseases. By knocking out MRPL15, researchers can observe the resulting phenotypic changes, thus elucidating the gene's specific contributions to mitochondrial translation, respiratory function, and overall cellular health.

The primary mechanism through which MRPL15 Gene Knockout Cell Lines operate involves CRISPR-Cas9 technology, which allows for precise genomic modifications. This targeted gene editing leads to the generation of cell lines where the MRPL15 protein is no longer produced, facilitating a clearer understanding of the cascading effects of compromised mitochondrial function. These advancements can significantly enhance biological research and therapeutic approaches, particularly in areas related to metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer.

The scientific importance of MRPL15 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to model diseases that stem from mitochondrial impairments. In clinical settings, these cell lines can aid in the discovery of potential drug targets, biomarker identification for diagnostic purposes, and the development of gene therapies that aim to restore mitochondrial function. Furthermore, the ability to investigate specific gene functions through knockout strategies enables the assessment of gene-gene interactions and their implications for cellular homeostasis.

Compared to traditional cell line models, MRPL15 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer unique advantages, such as enhanced specificity and the ability to simultaneously study multiple biological pathways disturbed by mitochondrial dysfunction. These lines facilitate high-throughput screening in drug discovery and contribute to more accurate and predictive preclinical models.
