Title: Inhibition of protein synthesis in reticulocyte lysates by trichodermin. Author: Carter CJ, Cannon M, Smith KE. Journal: Biochem J; 1976 Jan 15; 154(1):171-8. PubMed ID: 1275906. Abstract: 1. The effect of trichodermin as an inhibitor of eukaryotic protein synthesis was studied in a reticulocyte cell-free system. 2. Trichodermin at a concentration of 25 mug/ml inhibits total protein synthesis instantaneously and stabilizes polyribosome profiles. Conversely, at a concentration of 0.25 mug/ml the drug inhibits total protein synthesis by only 70-75% and allows 30-35% breakdown of the polyribosomes in the system. These effects were compared with those produced by two other drugs (pactamycin and anisomycin) examined under conditions identical with those used for trichodermin.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
