MRPL57 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: MRPL57

Official Full Name: mitochondrial ribosomal protein L57provided 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 protein which belongs to an undetermined ribosomal subunit and which seems to be specific to animal mitoribosomes. Pseudogenes corresponding to this gene are found on chromosomes 1p, 1q, 3p, 5q, 8q, 14q, and Y. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

MRPL57 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models that have undergone targeted genome editing to disrupt the expression of the MRPL57 gene, which encodes a crucial mitochondrial ribosomal protein. These cell lines provide an invaluable tool for researchers studying mitochondrial function, gene expression regulation, and cellular metabolism. The knockout of MRPL57 leads to the production of cells with significantly altered mitochondrial activity and ribosomal function, allowing for a more profound understanding of the role this specific gene plays in mitochondrial biogenesis, energy production, and apoptosis.

The key mechanism of action for these cell lines involves the use of CRISPR/Cas9 technology, which facilitates precise genomic modifications. By eliminating MRPL57 expression, researchers can investigate the subsequent changes in mitochondrial dynamics, including shifts in energy metabolism and the regulation of gene expression linked to mitochondrial biogenesis. Therefore, these knockout cell lines are essential for elucidating the complex interplay between mitochondrial function and various pathophysiological conditions, including metabolic disorders and age-related diseases.

Scientifically, MRPL57 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer valuable applications in both research and clinical settings, contributing to studies on mitochondrial diseases and potential therapeutic interventions. The ability to model these specific biological perturbations opens new avenues for drug discovery and the understanding of disease mechanisms, making them a critical asset in advanced biomedicine research.

Compared to traditional models, the MRPL57 knockout cell lines provide unparalleled specificity and efficiency in studying mitochondrial dysfunction. Researchers benefit from the robust genetic modification and the reproducibility of experimental outcomes, setting these cell lines apart from alternatives that may not accurately represent the physiological implications of MRPL57 loss.

For researchers and clinicians, the availability of MRPL57 Gene Knockout Cell Lines translates to increased confidence in experimental efficacy and data integrity. As a company specializing in innovative biological products, we are committed to supporting scientific discovery with precise tools that enhance the understanding of complex biological systems, ultimately leading to improved health outcomes.
