Gibberellin-analog (GA3) chemical dimerizer; induces rapid dimerization of GAIs and GID1. GA3-AM crosses the plasma membrane, is cleaved by cytosolic esterase releasing GA3, which then binds GID1- this complex then in turn forms a complex with GAI; this system works on a timescale of seconds (EC50 = 310 nM). GA3 and rapamycin chemically inducible dimerization systems are orthogonal. Cell permeable.
