General description

3-Indoleacrylic acid (IAA) is a chemical used for the induction of gene transcription. This expression system requires that the gene of interest is cloned in plasmids containing the trpE promoter.

Application

Suitable for induction of gene transcription in systems controlled by the trpE promoter.

Biochem/physiol Actions

3-Indoleacrylic acid helps to block the mycelial growth of Neurospora crassa. As a result, the cells accumulate indoleglycerol phosphate, which influences the rate of tryptophan synthetase.

Replacing a cassette of 31 residues from Escherichia coli release factor 1 with the equivalent residues in release factor 2 gave a protein active in codon-specific binding to the ribosome but inactive in peptidyl-tRNA hydrolysis. Such a phenotype is also

In addition to the main catabolic routes of tryptophan (Trp), there exist minor and less thoroughly investigated pathways; one of these leads to indolylacrylic acid (IAcrA). IAcrA is a plant growth hormone, whereas its biological role in animals is still

Shoot branching and growth are controlled by phytohormones such as auxin and other components in Arabidopsis. We identified a mutant (igi1) showing decreased height and bunchy branching patterns. The phenotypes reverted to the wild type in response to RNA interference

An approach to the optimization of product yield in an inducible inclusion body-producing system is presented. Following induction by indoleacrylic acid (IAA) of a trpLE-HIVgp41 fusion protein, we found a large increase in culture turbidity and single-cell dry weight. After
