cGK1/PRKG1 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.

cGK1/PRKG1, also known as cGMP-dependent protein kinase 1, has two isoforms that are produced by alternative splicing. Isoform Alpha (CGK1-alpha) is 671 amino acids long and 76 kDa. Isoform Beta (CGK1-beta) is 686 amino acids long and approximately 78 kDa. PRKG1 is a Serine/threonine protein kinase that is expressed in placenta and lung. cGK1/PRKG1 is an important player in the Nitric Oxide/cGMP Signaling Pathway; the binding of GMP activates PRKG1, which in turn phosphorylates Serine residues and Threonine residues on various cell proteins, including proteins that regulate calcium levels, smooth muscle contraction, platelet adhesion, circadian rhythm and more. Current research on PRKG1 is being conducted in relation to several diseases and disorders including cystic fibrosis, lymphoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome and myoglobinuria. PRKG1 has also been shown to have interactions with SMAD4, BMPR2, GKAP1, Natriuretic Peptide Receptor A and TFII-I in pathways such as Gap Junction signaling, eNOS signaling and EDNRB signaling.
