Typical research applications include probing the ISR in T cell biology through studies of amino acid deprivation signaling, stress-induced apoptosis, and metabolic adaptation.
The knockout cells can be used in assays measuring phospho-eIF2?? (Ser51), ATF4, and CHOP by western blotting; ATF4 target gene expression by RT-qPCR; and apoptosis or cell cycle alterations by flow cytometry.
Additionally, they are suitable for drug sensitivity testing with GCN2 inhibitors like GCN2iB, metabolic profiling (ATP levels, MTS), and co-immunoprecipitation of pathway components.
These applications advance understanding of cancer cell stress adaptation, neurodegenerative mechanisms, and pulmonary hypertension, supporting translational research.
