Protein phosphatase 1C (PP1c) dephosphorylates the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α subunit (eIF2α) to turn off the unfolded protein response in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). PP1c removes phosphates on eIF2α under the direction of one of two accessory subunits termed protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 15A and 15B (PPP1R15A and PPP1R15B). Whereas PPP1R15B is constitutively expressed, PPP1R15A is induced by protein-misfolding stress. Sephin1 is a selective inhibitor of the stress-induced PPP1R15A that does not affect the constitutive PPP1R15B.{28743} At 50 µM, it has been shown to prolong eIF2α phosphorylation after ER stress, delaying translation which protects cells from misfolded protein-induced cytotoxicity.{28743} At 1-5 mg/kg, sephin1 has been shown to prevent defects resulting from protein misfolding in a mutant SOD1 mouse model of fast-progressing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis as well as a mouse model of Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy.{28743}

  • 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 – 25 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.

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 10 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.
