PYR-41

SKU: orb1225083

Description

PYR-41 is a selective, cell-permeable inhibitor of ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1), blocks loading of immobilized His6-tagged E1 with ubiquitin with IC50 of <10 uM; does not affect the transfer of ubiquitin to E2 from E1, directly inhibits E1, but not E2; in addition to blocking ubiquitylation, PYR-41 increases total sumoylation in cells, attenuates cytokine-mediated nuclear factor-kappaB activation and inhibits nonproteasomal (Lys-63) ubiquitylation of TRAF6, also prevents the downstream ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation of IκBα; inhibits degradation of p53 and activates the p53 transcriptional activity, demonstrates anti-tumor activity in animal studies.

Bioactivity

• In Vitro:
  PYR-41 increases total sumoylation in cells in addition to blocking ubiquitylation. PYR-41 attenuates cytokine-mediated nuclear factor-κB activation. PYR-41 also prevents the downstream ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation of IκBα. Furthermore, PYR-41 inhibits degradation of p53 and activates the transcriptional activity of this tumor suppressor. PYR-41 (50 μM) promotes accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins. PYR-41 causes a concentration-dependent (10-50 μM) decline in DUB activity in Z138 cells after 4 h. PYR-41 potently inhibits USP5 DUB activity, even at the lowest concentration (10 μM). PYR-41 potently (10-50 μM) inhibits the activity of various DUBs, determined to represent USP9x, USP5, USP14, UCH37 and UCH-L3. Co-treatment of Z138 cells with DTT and PYR-41 completely abolishes the accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins.
