Post-translational protein prenylation, a process catalyzed by three different enzymes, occurs at the C-terminal of a number of proteins involved in cell growth control and oncogenesis. One of these enzymes, geranylgeranyltransferase I (GGTase I) modifies cysteines of proteins with CAAX terminal sequences, preferring either leucine or isoleucine in the X-position. The Rho family of proteins are typically geranylgeranylated by GGTase I.{26347} GGTI 298 is a CAAX peptidomimetic that selectively inhibits GGTase I with little effect on other prenylation enzymes such as farnesyltransferase.{17870} It has been shown to arrest human tumor cells (IC50 = 10 µM for A549 cells) in G0/G1 and induce apoptosis by inhibiting proteasome activity and up-regulating the expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21.{17870,17872,26346}

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 25 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 small molecule activator of stem cell renewal that allows the propagation of OG2 mES cells for at least 10 passages in an undifferentiated state; activity is mediated by the combined inhibition of RasGAP and ERK1 with Kd values of 98 and 212 nM

    SC-1 – 5 mg

    The maintenance of embryonic stem cells in culture typically requires feeder cells and various exogenous factors found in serum. Murine embryonic stem (mES) cells can be maintained in the absence of feeder cells and serum but require the leukemia inhibitor factor (LIF) and bone morphogenic protein (BMP) to prevent differentiation and promote self-renewal. SC-1 is a small molecule activator of stem cell renewal that allows the propagation of OG2 mES cells for at least 10 passages in an undifferentiated state.{14533} The activity of SC-1 is mediated by the combined inhibition of RasGAP and ERK1 with Kd values of 98 and 212 nM, respectively.{14533} Inhibition of RasGAP increases Ras signaling via the PI3-kinase pathway which promotes self-renewal, whereas inhibition of ERK blocks differentiation.
