Ginkgolic acid inhibits protein SUMOylation by blocking formation of the E1-SUMO intermediate.

25 Feb 2009 Protein modification by small ubiquitin-related modifier proteins (SUMOs) controls diverse cellular functions. Dysregulation of SUMOylation or deSUMOylation processes has been implicated in the development of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. ... Read more...

Synthesis of benzamide derivatives of anacardic acid and their cytotoxic activity.

3 Feb 2009 Several benzamide derivatives were synthesized from anacardic acid (1a) which was the product of hydrogenation of the naturally occurring anacardic acid mixture (1a-d), a major constituent of cashew nut shell liquid. Anacardic acid (1a) was first ... Read more...

Bisubstrate Inhibitors of the MYST HATs Esa1 and Tip60.

22 Dec 2008 Esa1 (essential Sas2-related acetyltransferase 1) and Tip60 (HIV-1 TAT-interactive protein, 60 kDa) are key members of the MYST family of histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and play important functions in many cellular processes. In this work, we ... Read more...
