ASPP1 Lentiviral Activation Particles (h) | sc-404330-LAC | 200 µl | $455.00 |
PPP1R13B encodes apoptosis-stimulating of p53 protein 1 (ASPP1), a regulator of stress-responsive transcription that enhances the pro-apoptotic transcriptional program of TP53 and related family members. ASPP1 participates in DNA damage response, cell-cycle checkpoint control, and apoptosis by modulating promoter-selective transcriptional outputs, linking chromatin-associated signaling to fate decisions. Altered PPP1R13B expression or dysregulated ASPP1–p53 axis activity has been associated with tumorigenesis and resistance to genotoxic stress in multiple cancer contexts, making it relevant for studies of oncogenic signaling, genome stability, and apoptotic thresholds. These functions position ASPP1 as a useful node for dissecting how transcriptional co-regulators tune p53 pathway activity across cell types.
ASPP1 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 PPP1R13B upregulation across a broader range of human cell types.
ASPP1 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 PPP1R13B transcriptional start site, where VP64, p65, and HSF1 act cooperatively to recruit endogenous transcriptional machinery and drive sustained upregulation of endogenous ASPP1 expression. The use of nuclease-inactive dCas9 avoids the introduction of double-strand DNA breaks and preserves the native PPP1R13B 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.
