The science of puromycin: From studies of ribosome function to applications in biotechnology
Puromycin is a naturally occurring aminonucleoside antibiotic that inhibits protein synthesis by ribosome-catalyzed incorporation into the C-terminus of elongating nascent chains, blocking further extension and resulting in premature termination of ...

Polymergebundenes Puromycin / Resin Linked Puromycin
Abstract A biospecific resin for the retardation of ribosomal pep-tidyltransferase by affinity chromatography was prepared by condensing the α-amino group of puromycin with the N-hydroxysuccinimide ester of CH-Sepharose 4B to yield the resin-linked puromycin derivative 4.

Rapid cell type-specific nascent proteome labeling in Drosophila
Controlled protein synthesis is required to regulate gene expression and is often carried out in a cell type-specific manner. Protein synthesis is commonly measured by labeling the nascent proteome with amino acid analogs or isotope-containing amino ...

Puromycin-induced kidney injury and subsequent regeneration in adult zebrafish
Puromycin treatment can cause glomerular injury to the kidney, leading to proteinuria. However, the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury and subsequent regeneration after puromycin administration in animal models remain unclear.

The Mechanism of Resistance to Puromycin and to the Puromycin-precursor O-Demethyl-puromycin in Streptomyces alboniger [PDF]
Ribosomes from Streptomyces alboniger are sensitive in vitro to puromycin and, to a lesser extent, to the puromycin-precursor O-demethyl-puromycin. The puromycin-inactivating enzyme (puromycin N-acetyltransferase) from S. alboniger also N-acetylates O-demethyl-puromycin.

Puromycin reactivity does not accurately localize translation at the subcellular level
Puromycin is a tyrosyl-tRNA mimic that blocks translation by labeling and releasing elongating polypeptide chains from translating ribosomes. Puromycin has been used in molecular biology research for decades as a translation inhibitor. The development of

Efficient isolation of mouse deletion mutant embryonic stem cells by CRISPR
Summary: Gene functions can be assessed in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells and in mutant mice derived from mutant ES cells. Here, we describe an approach for efficient isolation of the ES clones carrying deletion mutations at the target genes by CRISPR ...

Premature translational termination products are rapidly degraded substrates for MHC class I presentation. [PDF]
Nearly thirty percent of all newly synthesized polypeptides are targeted for rapid proteasome-mediated degradation. These rapidly degraded polypeptides (RDPs) are a source of antigenic substrates for the MHC class I presentation pathway, allowing for ...
