Application

TBB was used to study casein kinase 2-dependent phosphorylation of DNA damage mediator protein MDC1.

Biochem/physiol Actions

TBB binds to the Val66 residue of casein kinase-2 and inhibits the binding of ATP/GTP. TBB is cell permeable; it induces caspase-dependent apoptosis and degrades hematopoietic lineage cell-specific protein 1 in Jurkat cells.
TBB is a highly selective, ATP/GTP-competitive inhibitor of casein kinase-2 (CK2) (IC50 = 900 nM and 1.6 mM, using rat liver and recombinant human CK2, respectively).

The specificity of 4,5,6,7-tetrabromo-2-azabenzimidazole (TBB), an ATP/GTP competitive inhibitor of protein kinase casein kinase-2 (CK2), has been examined against a panel of 33 protein kinases, either Ser/Thr- or Tyr-specific. In the presence of 10 microM TBB (and 100 microM ATP)

Incubation of Jurkat cells with 4,5,6,7-tetrabromobenzotriazole (TBB), a specific inhibitor of protein kinase CK2, induces dose-and time-dependent apoptosis as judged by several criteria. TBB-promoted apoptosis is preceded by inhibition of Ser/Thr phosphorylation of haematopoietic lineage cell-specific protein 1 (HS1) and
