DNA Methyltransferase
DNMTs; DNA MTases
DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) are a family of “writer” enzymes responsible for DNA methylation that is the addition of a methyl group to the carbon atom number five (C5) of cytosine. Mammalians encode five DNMTs: DNMT1, DNMT2, DNMT3A-DNMT3B (de novo methyltransferases), and DNMTL. DNMT1, DNMT3A, and DNMT3B are the three active enzymes that maintain DNA methylation. DNMT3L has no catalytic activity and functions as a regulator of DNMT3A and DNMT3B, whereas DNMT2 acts as a tRNA transferase rather than a DNA methyltransferase.
DNA methylation is a vital modification process in the control of genetic information, which contributes to the epigenetics by regulating gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. In prokaryotes, DNA methylation is essential for transcription, the direction of post-replicative mismatch repair, the regulation of DNA replication, cell-cycle control, bacterial virulence, and differentiating self and non-self DNA. In mammalians, DNA methylation is crucial in many key physiological processes, including the inactivation of the X-chromosome, imprinting, and the silencing of germline-specific genes and repetitive elements.

C188-9
0 ImagesSynonyms: TTI-101C188-9 (TTI-101) is a STAT3 inhibitor with a Kd value of 4.7 nM. C188-9 targets the SH2 domain of STAT3, blocks the processes of STAT3 ligand binding, receptor recruitment, homodimerization and phosphorylation, and regulates STAT3-mediated genes associated with tumorigenesis and radioresistance. C188-9 regulates STAT1-mediated genes related to radioresistance and reduces the activation level of STAT1. C188-9 downregulates the expression of DNMT1, enhances DAC-induced demethylation and re-expression of RASSF1A, and simultaneously potentiates the anti-tumor effect of DAC on pancreatic cancer cells. C188-9 inhibits both anchorage-dependent and anchorage-independent growth of cancer cells, induces Apoptosis, blocks the growth of tumor xenografts, and suppresses muscle atrophy. C188-9 maintains muscle mass, increases body weight and improves grip strength in tumor-bearing mice. C188-9 can be used in research related to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, pancreatic cancer, sepsis-related skeletal muscle wasting, non-small cell lung cancer, acute myeloid leukemia and cancer cachexia.

NV914
0 ImagesNV914 is an inhibitor of FTSJ1 (tryptophan tRNA-specific 2'-O-methyltransferase) that inhibits the methyltransferase activity of FTSJ1, induces translational readthrough of premature termination codons, and enables genes carrying nonsense mutations to synthesize full-length proteins. NV914 belongs to translational readthrough-inducing compounds (TRIDs). NV914 exhibits translational readthrough activity against nonsense mutations in in vitro systems, does not induce readthrough of natural termination codons, and restores CFTR protein expression. NV914 shows favorable acute oral tolerance in mice, with low health risks and good safety profiles. NV914 is applicable to research related to cystic fibrosis and Shwachman-Diamond syndrome.
