UVSSA Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: UVSSA

Official Full Name: UV stimulated scaffold protein Aprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene appears to be involved in ubiquitination and dephosphorylation of RNA polymerase II subunits that stall after UV irradiation. The encoded protein interacts with several members of the nucleotide excision repair complex, and is thought to be involved in the transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) pathway to help remove lesions in the DNA that block transcription. Defects in this gene can cause UV-sensitive syndrome 3. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

Background

UVSSA Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to lack the UV-Sensitive Surfer's Sensitivity Associated protein (UVSSA), a critical component in the DNA damage response pathway. These knockout cell lines have been developed through precise CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology, resulting in a definitive disruption of the UVSSA gene, allowing for detailed investigations into its role in cellular mechanisms such as nucleotide excision repair (NER) and transcription-coupled repair (TCR).

The primary function of UVSSA is its involvement in the recognition and repair of DNA lesions caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation. In the absence of UVSSA, cells exhibit altered sensitivity to UV-induced DNA damage, which presents a unique opportunity for researchers to study the intricate dynamics of DNA repair pathways and their implications in various diseases, including skin cancers and genetic disorders characterized by heightened sensitivity to UV light.

The scientific importance of UVSSA gene knockout cell lines cannot be overstated; they serve as vital tools for elucidating the molecular pathways underlying DNA repair mechanisms in both research and clinical settings. By providing insights into the mechanisms of UV-induced mutagenesis and cellular adaptation, these cell lines can aid in the development of therapeutic strategies aimed at enhancing DNA repair capabilities and assessing cancer susceptibility.

One of the distinctive advantages of UVSSA Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their specificity and reliability compared to conventional models. These cell lines replicate the physiological conditions of human cells more accurately, thus yielding more relevant data that can be extrapolated to clinical scenarios. Moreover, the use of CRISPR technology ensures a precise and reproducible gene knockout, enhancing experimental consistency.

For researchers and clinicians keen to advance their understanding of DNA repair processes and enhance their therapeutic approaches to UV-related conditions, UVSSA Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer an invaluable resource. They facilitate a deeper exploration of the role of UVSSA in DNA repair, potentially leading to breakthroughs in cancer research and treatment.
