General description
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic protein synthesis inhibitor. Nucleoside that resembles the aminoacyl-adenylyl terminus of aminoacyl-tRNA and competes for binding to the "A site" of the large ribosomal subunit. Its incorporation into a growing polypeptide results in termination of chain elongation and release of the nascent polypeptidyl-puromycin. Used for selection of mammalian cell lines expressing a transfected pac gene (Streptomyces alboniger), whose product, puromycin acetyltransferase, inactivates the drug via acetylation. Induces DNA fragmentation in thymocytes and in human HL-60 leukemia cells. Like cycloheximide, puromycin is also used as a general protein synthesis inhibitor in numerous cellular assays.
Protein synthesis inhibitor. Inhibits translation by causing premature release of nascent polypeptide chains. Induces DNA fragmentation in thymocytes and in human HL-60 leukemia cells.
