RA375, a RPN13 Inhibitor, Activates UPR Signaling, ROS Production and Apoptosis

Rpn13 is a known component of the proteasome. Especially, Rpn13 binds ubiquitin-like domains of the UBL/UBA family of ubiquitin receptors. Rpn13, as an ubiquitin receptor, offers a docking position for ubiquitinated substrate. RA375 is a RPN13 inhibitor. Treatment with RA375 causes a rapid and profound accumulation of high molecular weight polyubiquitinated proteins. RA375...

GSK621 is a Specific AMPK Activator, Inducing Autophagy and Apoptosis

AMPK is an enzyme, which plays a role in cell energy homeostasis. It mainly activates glucose and fatty acid uptake and oxidation when the cell energy is low. Specifically, AMPK is a major regulator of cell metabolism, which can exert its carcinogenic or antitumor activities. Besides, the activation of...
