Dna pk

Manufactured by Bio-Techne

DNA-PK is a serine/threonine protein kinase that plays a critical role in DNA double-strand break repair and V(D)J recombination. It is a key component of the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway, which is one of the primary mechanisms for repairing DNA double-strand breaks in mammalian cells.

Standardized Mouse Embryonic Fibroblast Culture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All MEFs used in this study were derived in house from day e13.5 embryos and grown in standard culture conditions as described21 (link). MEFs tested negative for mycoplasma contamination and genotypes were confirmed by PCR14 (link) and Western blot (Fig. 1c and Supplementary Fig. 1). Primary MEFs were immortalized by transfection with pBsSVD2005 (SV40 large T antigen expression vector). Adeno-Cre at a MOI of 500 was used. MEFs were grown for 3 days post-infection and split once prior to plating for experiments. Kinase inhibitors were used as follows: ATM, KU5593351 (link),52 (link) (10μM or 20 μM for 1-2 hrs as indicated, Tocris Biosciences); DNA-PK, NU702653 (link),54 (link) (20μM for 2 hrs, Tocris Biosciences); ATR, VE-82139 (10μM for 2 hrs, Axon Medchem).

Immortalized MEFs Expressing Mutant MRE11

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MEFs were isolated from day e13.5 embryos and grown in standard culture conditions as described38 . Primary MEFs were immortalized by transfection with pBsSVD2005 (SV40 large T antigen expression vector). To create cDNA clones, cells were transfected (Lipofectamine 2000, Life Technologies) with mutant MRE11-expressing constructs10 and clones were isolated and grown under blasticidin (Life Technologies) selection. Adeno-Cre (University of Michigan Vector Core) at an MOI of 500 was used. MEFs were grown 3 days post-infection and split once prior to plating for experiments. Kinase inhibitors were used as follows: ATM, KU55933 (10 μM for 1 hr, Tocris Biosciences); DNA-PK, NU7026 (20 μM for 2 hrs, Tocris Biosciences). Proteasome inhibition was carried out for 8 hrs in 20 µM MG-132 (Sigma). Where IR treatment is indicated, cells were exposed to a 137Cs source.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
