General description
Selectively inhibits the phosphorylation and activation of p70 S6 kinase (IC50 = 50 pM). Prevents the translational activation of IGF-II. Also prevents resting T-cells from entering the cell cycle, but does not directly arrest cell cycle progression. Shown to inhibit later signaling events, such as p110Rb phosphorylation, p34cdc2 kinase activation, and cyclin A synthesis. Exhibits strong binding to FK-506 binding proteins. Also reported to induce apoptosis in a murine B-cell line, to inhibit lymphokine-induced cell proliferation at the G1 phase, and to irreversibly arrest Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells in the G1 phase.

Nascent RNA sequencing has revealed that pre-mRNA splicing can occur shortly after introns emerge from RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II). Differences in co-transcriptional splicing profiles suggest regulation by cis- and/or trans-acting factors. Here, we use single-molecule intron tracking (SMIT)

The β-galactoside-binding protein Galectin-9 (Gal-9) functions as a double-edged sword during HIV infection. On the one hand, Gal-9 can reactivate HIV latently infected cells, the main barrier to achieving HIV eradication, making them visible to immune clearance. On the other

Thymus-originated tTregs and in vitro induced iTregs are subsets of regulatory T cells. While they share the capacity of immune suppression, their stabilities are different, with iTregs losing their phenotype upon stimulation or under inflammatory milieu. Epigenetic differences, particularly methylation
