XBP1 Overexpression Lysate

HEK293T cells in 10-cm dishes were transiently transfected with a non-lipid polymer transfection reagent specially designed and manufactured for large volume DNA transfection. Transfected cells were cultured for 48hrs before collection. The cells were lysed in modified RIPA buffer (25mM Tris-HCl pH7.6, 150mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 1mM EDTA, 1xProteinase inhibitor cocktail mix, 1mM PMSF and 1mM Na3VO4, and then centrifuged to clarify the lysate. Protein concentration was measured by BCA protein assay kit.

XBP1 encodes a transcription factor that regulates MHC class II genes by binding to a promoter element referred to as an X box. The protein contains two domains commonly found in transcription factors that confer DNA binding and dimerization capability. This gene product was also separately identified as a cellular transcription factor that binds to an enhancer in the promoter of the T cell leukemia virus type 1 promoter. It may increase expression of viral proteins by acting as the DNA binding partner of a viral transactivator. There is also a recent finding that the same agents that cause an ER stress response, the unfolded protein response, also increase transcription of this gene. This increase in transcription requires an ER stress response consensus binding element in the promoter.
