General description

A cell-permeable inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A; IC50 = 0.5-1 nM) and protein phosphatase 1 (PP1; IC50 = 2 nM). A non-phorbol ester type tumor promoter that induces oxidative DNA damage. Selectively increases the efficacy of AMPA receptor-mediated synaptic transmission at excitatory synapses. Also known to prevent γ-radiation induced apoptosis in Burkitt’s lymphoma cell line BM13674. Also available as a 100 µM solution in DMSO (Cat. No. 508226).

Vertebrates exhibit specific requirements for replicative H3 and non-replicative H3.3 variants during development. To disentangle whether this involves distinct modes of deposition or unique functions once incorporated into chromatin, we combined studies in Xenopus early development with chromatin assays. Here we
