Product Description

TAME (Tosyl-L-Arginine Methyl Ester) is a potent small molecule APC (anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome) inhibitor, which can target proteins for degradation and cause chromatid separation.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Anaphase-promoting complex (APC)
ln Vitro
TAME has an IC50 of 12 µM for inhibiting cyclin proteolysis in mitotic Xenopus egg extract. Interphase extract treated with recombinant cyclin B1/Cdc2 complex in mitosis is stopped by TAME at concentrations of 1-200 μM, leaving phosphorylated Cdc27 and stable cyclin B1. When TAME is added at a 200 μM concentration, it significantly reduces Cdh1's binding to the Anaphase-Promoting Complex (APC) and inhibits its ubiquitin ligase activity. The C-terminal isoleucine-arginine (IR) tail of APC is the contribution motif that TAME addition to interphase extract uses to reduce Cdc20 association with the APC in a dose-dependent manner. Trypsin hydrolyzes TAME, with a Km of 0.328 mM.[2] TAME causes an approximate 12-fold increase in ATP hydrolysis speed.[3] TAME interacts with ATP's β and γ phosphate as well as the adenine ring through the aromatic ring and guanidinium group.[4] TAME inhibits Bacillus subtilis nutrient-induced germination and pressure-induced germination at 600 MPa at a concentration of 50 mM.[5] On ileal strips, TAME causes a concentration-dependent contractile response with an EC50 of 4.3 x 103 M.[6]
ln Vivo

Enzyme Assay
TAME at concentrations ranging from 1 to 200 μM stops interphase extract treated with recombinant cyclin B1/Cdc2 complex in mitosis, resulting in phosphorylated Cdc27 and stable cyclin B1. At a 200 μM concentration, TAME significantly suppresses the ubiquitin ligase activity of the Anaphase-Promoting Complex (APC), which is accompanied by a decrease in Cdh1 binding to APC. By binding directly to APC, TAME addition to interphase extract reduces Cdc20 association with the APC in a dose-dependent manner. The C-terminal isoleucine-arginine (IR) tail on APC is the contribution motif. Trypsin hydrolyzes TAME, and its Km value is 0.328 mM. TAME speeds up the hydrolysis of ATP by a factor of twelve. Through the guanidinium group and the aromatic ring, TAME interacts with β and γ phosphate as well as the adenine ring of ATP. TAME inhibits both pressure-induced germination at 600 MPa and nutrient-induced germination in Bacillus subtilis at concentrations of 50 mM. On ileal strips, TAME causes a concentration-dependent contractile response with an EC50 of 4.3 x 103 M.
Cell Assay
In order to prevent APC-dependent proteolysis in mitotic Xenopus oocytes, TAME competes with the Cdc20 C-terminal IR-tail for APC binding. Additionally, TAME stabilizes cyclin B1 by prematurely stopping ubiquitination. It inhibits the first round of ubiquitination of unmodified cyclin B1. Unubiquitinated cyclin B1 is unable to encourage Cdc20 binding to the APC when TAME is present.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
