Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) is a phorbol ester that is commonly used to activate certain types of protein kinase C (PKC), including group A (α, βI, βII, γ) and group B (δ, ε, η, θ) isoforms.{17804} Phorbol esters, including PMA, are structurally analogous to diacylglycerol and activate PKC isoforms by associating with their C1 domains.{17805} Through PKC, PMA also activates certain MAP kinase pathways.{17806} Prolonged treatment of cells with PMA at high concentrations results in the downregulation of total PKC activity and is tumorigenic, whereas lower concentrations may be protective.{17807,17808} In addition, PMA promotes hematopoietic differentiation.{17809,17810} The aqueous solubility of PMA is about 10-fold better than that of phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate, indicating that PMA is preferable in cell-based studies.

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 50 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}
