Synthesis and biological evaluation of RGD and isoDGR peptidomimetic-α-amanitin conjugates for tumor-targeting

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2018
RGD-α-amanitin and isoDGR-α-amanitin conjugates were synthesized by joining integrin ligands to α-amanitin via various linkers and spacers. The conjugates were evaluated for their ability to inhibit biotinylated vitronectin binding to the purified αVβ3 ...

Cryo-EM structure of a mammalian RNA polymerase II elongation complex inhibited by α-amanitin. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is the central enzyme that transcribes eukaryotic protein-coding genes to produce mRNA. The mushroom toxin α-amanitin binds Pol II and inhibits transcription at the step of RNA chain elongation.

The Role of Ferroptosis in Hepatocyte Injury Induced by α-Amanitin

open access: yesFayixue Zazhi
ObjectiveTo explore whether ferroptosis is involved in α-amanitin-induced hepatocyte injury by detecting iron deposition in mice liver tissues, oxidative stress indicators in hepatocytes and L-02 cells, and expressions of ferroptosis-related proteins ...

Investigating the phylogenetic history of toxin tolerance in mushroom‐feeding Drosophila

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Understanding how and when key novel adaptations evolved is a central goal of evolutionary biology. Within the immigrans‐tripunctata radiation of Drosophila, many mushroom‐feeding species are tolerant of host toxins, such as cyclopeptides, that are ...

Identification of Decrease in TRiC Proteins as Novel Targets of Alpha-Amanitin-Derived Hepatotoxicity by Comparative Proteomic Analysis In Vitro

open access: yesToxins, 2021
Alpha-amanitin (α-AMA) is a cyclic peptide and one of the most lethal mushroom amatoxins found in Amanita phalloides. α-AMA is known to cause hepatotoxicity through RNA polymerase II inhibition, which acts in RNA and DNA translocation. To investigate the
