MRPL36 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: MRPL36

Official Full Name: mitochondrial ribosomal protein L36provided 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. A pseudogene corresponding to this gene is found on chromosome 2p. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

MRPL36 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cellular models designed to facilitate the study of mitochondrial ribosomal protein function, specifically targeting the MRPL36 gene. This gene encodes a critical component of the mitochondrial ribosome, playing an essential role in mitochondrial protein synthesis, which is vital for cellular energy metabolism and overall cell health.

These knockout cell lines utilize CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology to create a precise disruption of MRPL36, allowing researchers to investigate the phenotypic consequences of its absence. By removing this gene, the cell lines enable the exploration of mitochondrial dynamics, the interplay between mitochondrial and nuclear gene expression, and the impact on cellular respiration and apoptosis. The ability to study these processes is crucial for understanding a variety of conditions, including mitochondrial diseases, metabolic disorders, and age-related pathologies.

The scientific importance of MRPL36 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to both basic research and clinical applications. In research settings, these cell lines serve as valuable tools for dissecting the pathways involved in mitochondrial dysfunction and evaluating potential therapeutic interventions. Clinically, insights gained from these studies could pave the way for the development of novel treatments for disorders linked to mitochondrial aberrations.

Compared to alternative models, such as wild-type or non-specific knockout lines, MRPL36 gene knockout cell lines provide a targeted approach that enhances specificity and reduces off-target effects. This allows for more reliable data generation and a deeper understanding of the complex roles played by mitochondrial components.

For researchers and clinicians, MRPL36 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a powerful resource that can accelerate innovation and discovery in mitochondrial research. They empower users by providing a solid foundation for experiments aimed at elucidating fundamental biological processes and developing new strategies for clinical intervention.
