PUMA (p53 up-regulated modulator of apoptosis) is a BH3-only protein. Each of the BH3-only group of proteins contains an amphipathic Bcl-2 homology (BH) domain. These proteins act as sensors of discrete apoptotic stimuli, antagonizing or activating the function of multidomain Bcl-2 family proteins by interacting with them. This in turn triggers a cascade of downstream events, such as the collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential, release of the apoptogenic mitochondrial proteins cytochrome c and SMAC, and activation of caspases.

PUMA plays a vital role in mediating the apoptotic responses to p53. It can be activated by p53 directly through p53-responsive elements in its promoter region. The PUMA protein interacts with Bcl-XL and promotes mitochondrial translocation and multimerization of Bax.

This adenovirus expresses human PUMA gene with a 15-aa deletion of the BH3 domain.

Description (Vector)
BBC3 encodes a member of the BCL-2 family of proteins. This family member belongs to the BH3-only pro-apoptotic subclass. The protein cooperates with direct activator proteins to induce mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization and apoptosis. It can bind to anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members to induce mitochondrial dysfunction and caspase activation. Because of its pro-apoptotic role, this gene is a potential drug target for cancer therapy and for tissue injury. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

About Storage Conditions

All our viral products should be kept at -80°C. At this temperature, the virus will remain stable for 6-12 months (and in some cases, up to 2 years). Once thawed, the product can be stored at 4°C for 2-3 weeks without significant loss of biological activity. We recommend aliquoting your vectors into low protein binding tubes upon receipt. This helps avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as well as prevent loss of virus. To maintain accurate titer, aliquot in at least 20ul per tube.
