Transcription inhibitors

Abbinante-Nissen JM, Simpson LG, Leikauf GD Corticosteroids increase secretory leukopro-tease inhibitor transcript levels in airway epithelial cells. Am J Physiol 1995 265 L286—L292. 

Watanabe I, Serizawa N (1998) Molecular approaches for production of pravastatin, a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor transcriptional regulation of the cytochrome p450sca gene from Streptomyces carbophilus by ML-236B sodium salt and phenobarbi-tal. Gene 210 109-116... 

Disubstituted4-dimethylaminopyridines as artificial inhibitors of transcription factors involved in HIV replication 97YGK697. 

CART (cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript) is a hypothalamic peptide that inhibits both normal and starvation-induced feeding when injected into cerebral ventricles of rats. CART is co-localized with the anorexigenic peptide a-melanocyte-stimulating hormone in neurons of the arcuate nucleus. Secretion of CART is stimulated by leptin and CART may be an endogenous inhibitor of food intake. 

Lipoxygenase AVNTR polymorphism in 100 bp upstream from the ATG start codon is associated with transcription efficiency. Differences in response to 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors and leucotriene receptor antagonists. 

PIAS (protein inhibitors of activated STATs) proteins were first discovered in yeast-two-hybrid screens as interacting molecules with STAT transcription factors. The mammalian family consists ofthe founding member PIAS3, which was described as a repressor of STAT3, and three additional members, PIAS1, PIASy (also known as PIAS4), and PIASx (also known as... 

Proton Pump Inhibitors and Acid Pump Antagonists retinoid X receptor (RXR) and is also activated by various lipophilic compounds produced by the body such as bile acids and steroids. PXR heterodimerized with RXR stimulates the transcription of cytochrome P450 3A monooxygenases (CYP3A) and other genes involved in the detoxification and elimination of the... 

Adenomatosis Polyposis Coli (APC). Whereas Dvl is a Wnt pathway activator, GSK3, Axin and APC are all inhibitors. Axin and APC help to stabilize the activity of GSK3, keeping (3-catenin levels low and Wnt target gene transcription off in the absence of a Wnt signal (Fig. 2a). 

L-Dihydroxyphenylalanine 4-Dihydroxyphenylethylamine Dimeric Transcription Factors Dioxins Dipeptidase Dipeptidylpeptidase Dipeptidylpeptidase IV Direct Thrombin Inhibitors Discharge of Neurons... 

Boulm F., Freund F., Moreau S., Nielsen P.E., Gryaznov S., Toulme J.J., Litvak S. Modified (PNA, 2-O-methyl and phosphoramidate) anti-TAR anti-sense oligonucleotides as strong and specific inhibitors of in vitro HI.V.-l reverse transcription. Nucleic Acids Res. 1998 26 5492-5500.
