Application

Actinomycin D is used as a selection agent and is used in banding techniques to differentiate between different regions of chromosomes. Actinomycin induces apoptosis and is used as a potent antitumor agent .

Biochem/physiol Actions

An antineoplastic antibiotic that inhibits cell proliferation by forming a stable complex with DNA and blocking the movement of RNA polymerase which interferes with DNA-dependent RNA synthesis. Induces apoptosis. Potent antitumor agent. For cell culture applications, actinomycin D is used as a selection agent and in banding techniques to differentiate between different regions of chromosomes.

The antitumour antibiotic actinomycin D normally binds to DNA by intercalation at sequences containing the CpG step, but in the presence of daunomycin it has been reported to interact with poly(dA-dT). This observation has neither been confirmed nor explained. Here

ABT-737, which blocks the function of Bcl-2 and Bcl-X(L) but not Mcl-1, has shown single-agent activity in preclinical models of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Elevated expression of Mcl-1 induces resistance to ABT-737 in SCLC. Based on the short half-life

Nonsegmented negative-strand (NNS) RNA viruses possess a ribonucleoprotein template in which the genomic RNA is sequestered within a homopolymer of nucleocapsid protein (N). The viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) resides within an approximately 250-kDa large protein (L), along with unconventional

Infection of mammalian cells with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) results in the inhibition of cellular translation while viral translation proceeds efficiently. VSV RNA synthesis occurs entirely within the cytoplasm, where during transcription the viral polymerase produces 5 mRNAs that are
