Application

PP242 hydrate has been used:
  • as a mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor to study its effects on rat fibroblast mTOR complex 1 and 2 (mTORC1 & 2) signaling
  • as an mTOR inhibitor to treat mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) and cumulus cells (CCs) to study its effects on reactivation of embryonic nucleoli and ribosome biogenesis
  • as a target of rapamycin (TOR) kinase inhibitor for the treatment of Arabidopsis to study its effects against Fusarium graminearum infection

Biochem/physiol Actions

PP242 is a potent and selective mTOR inhibitor. PP242 is a first selective inhibitor that targets ATP domain of mTOR.

Autophagy, 17(5), 1131-1141 (2020-04-23)
During macroautophagy/autophagy, the ULK complex nucleates autophagic precursors, which give rise to autophagosomes. We analyzed, by live imaging and mathematical modeling, the translocation of ATG13 (part of the ULK complex) to the autophagic puncta in starvation-induced autophagy and ivermectin-induced mitophagy.

Nature protocols, 12(2), 279-288 (2017-01-13)
At present, several assays that use radioisotope labeling to quantify the degradation of long-lived proteins have been developed to measure autophagic flux. Here, we describe a nonradioactive pulse-chase protocol using L-azidohomoalanine (AHA) labeling to quantify long-lived protein degradation during autophagy.
