Hedgehog (hh) proteins, important regulators of development, bind the cell-surface protein Patched, allowing activation of Smoothened (Smo). In vertebrates, this ultimately leads to the activation of the zinc-finger transcription factors of the GLI family. Overactivation of this pathway contributes to certain cancers, including glioblastoma, for which the GLI proteins are named. GANT 58 is a GLI antagonist that inhibits GLI1-mediated transcription (EC50 = 5 μM) in a variety of cell types.{22122,22692,22693} It inhibits the hh signaling pathway downstream of Smo and the endogenous downstream inhibitor Sufu thereby affecting GLI1 nuclear accumulation.{22122} GANT 58 displays antiproliferative and antitumor activity against Ewing sarcoma family of tumor cells.{22692,22693}

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 100 µg

    The PtdIn phosphates play an important role in the generation and transduction of intracellular signals.{8344,4096,14518} PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin is an affinity probe which allows the PIP3 to be detected through an interaction with the biotin ligand. This design allows PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin to serve as a general probe for any protein with a high affinity binding interaction with inositol-(3,4,5)-triphosphate phospholipids, such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, PTEN, or PH-domain-containing proteins.

  • A powerful effector in both the TetR and revTetR transcriptional regulator systems

    Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) – 50 mg

    The tetracycline repressor (TetR) is a transcriptional regulator which normally binds tightly to its palindromic tetO operator DNA, blocking gene expression.{17508} Tet causes the repressor to dissociate from the DNA, allowing transcription to occur. A novel reverse TetR (revTetR) requires tetracycline as a co-repressor to bind tetO and block transcription.{17509,17510} Anhydrotetracycline (hydrochloride) is a powerful effector in both the tetracycline repressor (TetR) and reverse TetR (revTetR) systems, binding the Tet repressor 35-fold more strongly than Tet.{17508,17511} Moreover, anhydrotetracycline poorly binds the 30S ribosomal subunit, compared to Tet,{17512} so it does not act as a general inhibitor of translation and is a poor antibiotic. Perhaps related to this, the concentration of anhydrotetracycline that inhibits eukaryotic cell growth is more than a 1,000-fold above the dose that alters transcription through TetR.{17508}
