Synaptojanin 2 Lentiviral Activation Particles (h) | sc-411221-LAC | 200 µl | $455.00 |
SYNJ2 encodes synaptojanin 2, a phosphoinositide phosphatase that hydrolyzes PI(4,5)P2 and PI(3,4,5)P3 to regulate membrane lipid composition during endocytosis and receptor trafficking. Through its effects on clathrin-mediated internalization, actin remodeling, and phosphoinositide signaling, Synaptojanin 2 helps coordinate vesicle dynamics, focal adhesion turnover, and downstream pathways such as PI3K–AKT. Altered SYNJ2 expression or activity has been associated with dysregulated migration and invasive phenotypes in cancer models and with perturbations in neuronal and synaptic membrane homeostasis. These functions make SYNJ2 a useful target for studying phosphoinositide-driven control of vesicular transport, signaling attenuation, and cytoskeletal organization in human cells.
Synaptojanin 2 Lentiviral Activation Particles (h) address this need by packaging the complete synergistic activation mediator (SAM) transcriptional activation system into transduction-ready, high-titer lentiviral particles, enabling efficient SYNJ2 upregulation across a broader range of human cell types.
Synaptojanin 2 Lentiviral Activation Particles (h) deliver all functional components of the synergistic activation mediator (SAM) system via lentiviral transduction. The system comprises three particle preparations co-transduced into target cells: one encoding catalytically inactive dCas9 (D10A and N863A mutations) fused to the VP64 transactivation domain with a blasticidin resistance gene; one encoding the MS2-p65-HSF1 fusion protein with a hygromycin resistance gene; and one encoding a target-specific 20 nt sgRNA fused to two MS2 RNA aptamers with a puromycin resistance gene. Following lentiviral transduction and genomic integration of the expression cassettes, the SAM components are stably expressed and assemble at the target locus within the proximal promoter region upstream of the SYNJ2 transcriptional start site, where VP64, p65, and HSF1 act cooperatively to recruit endogenous transcriptional machinery and drive sustained upregulation of endogenous Synaptojanin 2 expression. The use of nuclease-inactive dCas9 avoids the introduction of double-strand DNA breaks and preserves the native SYNJ2 genomic locus and regulatory architecture.
The lentiviral format offers several practical advantages: stable genomic integration supports heritable activation across cell divisions; high-titer particle preparations eliminate the need for in-house viral production; and compatibility with primary, non-dividing, and transfection-resistant cell types expands experimental accessibility. Successful transduction can be confirmed and enriched through triple antibiotic selection using puromycin, hygromycin, and blasticidin.
