High impact information on trapoxin

 

Biological context of trapoxin

 

Anatomical context of trapoxin

  • Trapoxin (cyclo-(L-phenylalanyl-L-phenylalanyl-D-pipecolinyl-L-2-amino-8- oxo-9,10-epoxy-decanoyl)) is a fungal product that induces morphological reversion from transformed to normal in sis-transformed NIH3T3 fibroblasts [13].
  • Actin stress fiber could be detected after trapoxin treatment [14].
 

Gene context of trapoxin

  • This deacetylase activity is inhibited by trichostatin, trapoxin, and butyrate in vitro to the same degree as the deacetylase activity associated to HDAC1p [15].
  • Among other genes, the small GTPase RhoB was found to be significantly upregulated by TPX and repressed by HDAC1 [16].
  • Conversely, the overexpression of constitutively active mutants of H-ras or MEK1 proteins had little or no effect on ChAT promoter activity, but strongly synergized with trapoxin [4].
  • The overexpression of dominant negative mutants of H-ras or ERK2 proteins depressed ChAT promoter activation by trapoxin in transient transfection assays [4].
  • We now show that trapoxin and butyrate triggered a rapid and transient phosphorylation of ERK1/2 kinases, that was suppressed by PD98059, a highly specific inhibitor of MAP kinase kinase MEK1 [4].
