Actiflash - Tamoxifen-like Photoactivable Inducer - LJU-CINActiflash is a photo inducible tamoxifen analogue. Upon UV light irradiation, the compound activates your chosen ERT2 protein fusion. It can be used to control transcription (using Gal4 UAS) or induce recombination (using Cre lox) in space and or time for in vivo cell tracking experiments.

Actiflash is a small steroid ligand that activates engineered proteins upon light induction. It can be used to precisely control protein activity down to the single cell level in live cell cultures and animals.

How does it work?

Actiflash is a tamoxifen-like caged-inducer called cyclofen. Upon UV-light illumination, optical-induced uncaging of Actiflash quickly releases proteins fused to the modified estrogen receptor ligand-binding domains ERT2. This allows them to translocate into the nucleus, activate transcription (using Gal4-UAS system) or induce recombination (using the Cre-lox one).

The protein expression can thus be simply controlled in time and space thanks to UV-light.

Wide applicative scope Technology capitalizing on the versatile use of Tamoxifen-OH for controlling functions of multiple types of proteins.


Photochemical stability

Caged Cyclofen-OH liberates Cyclofen-OH, a highly photostable compound in contrast to Tamoxifen-OH encountering photodegradation under illumination.

Favorable wavelength ranges for uncaging

Uncaging requires either UV-A light or a strong IR laser. Visible light is inactive, which facilitates the experiments with biological samples.

Simple conditioning

Caged Cyclofen-OH is cell-permeant and can be added either in the external medium or directly injected for conditioning.

Excellent chemical stability

Caged Cyclofen-OH does not generate any basal activation of protein function and it benefits from an excellent temporal resolution upon uncaging.

Applications
  • Actiflash is a great R&D tool to convert your inducible ERT model into a photo-inducible one. It is very helpful if you want to control transcription (using Gal4-UAS) or induce recombination (using Cre-lox) in space and/or time for in-vivo cell tracking experiments and more.
  • Actiflash has been successfully used with various cell lines as well as zebrafish embryos. Actiflash will work best on zebrafish embryos from 12 to 48hpf. 

Technical Information

Lifetime: upon receipt, Actiflash is stable for years at 2-8°C. Once solubilized in a DMSO solution (typically at 10 mM), Actiflash can be stored at -20°C for several months.  Always wrap the vials containing the aliquoted Actiflash with aluminium foil to protect it from light.
