Gene: MSH5
Official Full Name: mutS homolog 5provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the mutS family of proteins that are involved in DNA mismatch repair and meiotic recombination. This protein is similar to a Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein that participates in segregation fidelity and crossing-over events during meiosis. This protein plays a role in promoting ionizing radiation-induced apoptosis. This protein forms hetero-oligomers with another member of this family, mutS homolog 4. Polymorphisms in this gene have been linked to various human diseases, including IgA deficiency, common variable immunodeficiency, and premature ovarian failure. Alternative splicing results multiple transcript variants. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the downstream chromosome 6 open reading frame 26 (C6orf26) gene.

MSH5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cell lines in which the MSH5 gene has been disrupted, resulting in the loss of its function. This gene plays a crucial role in DNA mismatch repair and is critical for maintaining genomic stability during meiosis. By utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 technology or other gene-editing methodologies, these cell lines allow for precise investigations into the biological consequences of MSH5 loss, particularly its impact on recombination processes and chromosome segregation.
The primary function of MSH5 is in the recognition and repair of DNA mismatches that occur during DNA replication. In the context of meiosis, MSH5 is pivotal in facilitating the formation of crossovers between homologous chromosomes, thus ensuring proper chromosomal segregation. The knockout of this gene elucidates its essential role, allowing researchers to explore genetic pathways related to fertility and susceptibility to various forms of cancer due to impaired DNA repair mechanisms.
The scientific importance of MSH5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their applications in both basic research and clinical settings. They provide invaluable models to study genetic disorders associated with defects in DNA repair, including certain types of cancer and infertility. By utilizing these knockout lines, researchers can explore alternative pathways that may compensate for the loss of MSH5 function, facilitating the discovery of novel therapeutic targets.
Compared to traditional wild-type cell lines, MSH5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer several advantages, including reduced genetic background noise and the ability to study specific gene functions without interference from wild-type alleles. Their high specificity makes them ideal for targeted studies focused on the MSH5 gene and its downstream effects, resulting in more reliable and reproducible data.
For researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical developers, MSH5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a gateway to understanding complex biological processes that could lead to innovative treatment strategies. By shedding light on the implications of MSH5 malfunction, these cell lines can pave the way for advancements in cancer therapeutics and reproductive health.
