General description
Antifungal antibiotic that does not inhibit several species of pathogenic bacteria at 100 µg/ml. Inhibits protein synthesis in eukaryotes but not in prokaryotes. Interacts directly with the translocase enzyme, interfering with the translocation step. Inhibits cell-free protein synthesis in eukaryotes. Competitively inhibits hFkBP12 (Ki = 3.4 µM). Triggers apoptosis in HL-60 cells, T-cell hybridomas, Burkitt′s lymphoma cells, and a variety of other cell types, including rodent macrophages. Inhibits DNA cleavage in rat thymocytes treated with thapsigargin, methylprednisolone, and ionomycin. Rapidly destroyed in alkaline solutions.

Triggers apoptosis in HL-60 cells, T cell hybridomas, Burkitt’s lymphoma cells, and a variety of other cell types including rodent macrophages. However, it inhibits DNA cleavage in rat thymocytes treated with Thapsigargin (Cat. No. 586005 ), methylprednisolone, and Ionomycin (Cat. Nos. 407950 and 407952 ). Rapidly destroyed in alkaline solutions. Also available as a 300 mM solution in DMSO (Cat. No. 508739 ).

The protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) methylates a variety of proteins involved in splicing, multiple signal transduction pathways, epigenetic control of gene expression, and mechanisms leading to protein expression required for cellular proliferation. Dysregulation of PRMT5 is associated with clinical

C1q/TNF-related protein 12 (CTRP12) is a secreted regulator of glucose and lipid metabolism. It circulates in plasma as a full-length protein or as a cleaved isoform generated by furin/PCSK3 cleavage. These isoforms preferentially activate different signaling pathways, and their ratio

Virus entry is a multistep process. It initiates when the virus attaches to the host cell and ends when the viral contents reach the cytosol. Genetically unrelated viruses can subvert analogous subcellular mechanisms and use similar trafficking pathways for successful

Micropeptides are emerging as important regulators of various cellular processes. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) serve as a source of micropeptide-encoding small reading frames. The techniques to detect micropeptides or translating lncRNAs, such as mass spectrometry and ribosome profiling, are sophisticated

Reversible lysine methylation is essential for regulating histones and emerges to critically regulate non-histone proteins as well. Here we show that the master transcription factor OCT4 in pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) was methylated at multiple lysine residues. LSD1 that is
