Protein kinases are enzymes that modify other proteins by chemically adding phosphate groups to them (phosphorylation).

Phosphorylation usually results in a functional biological change of the target protein by changing enzyme activity, cellular location, or association with other proteins.

Protein kinases are a major factor in regulating most of the cellular control and signal transduction pathways. Protein kinase modifying reagents are therefore important both in cancer research and as drug candidates.

The following table defines the four main Tunicamycin homologs.

  • Tunicamycin A, aka Tunicamycin V, n=9, mw=817;
  • Tunicamycin B, aka Tunicamycin VII, n=10, mw=831;
  • Tunicamycin C, aka Tunicamycin II, n=8, mw=845;
  • Tunicamycin D, aka Tunicamycin X, n=11, mw=859
Solubility ( literature )
  • Tunicamycin is soluble in DMSO, alkaline water, hot methanol.
  • Practically insoluble in acetone, ethyl acetate.
  • Unstable in acidic solutions
Compound Classification
  • nucleoside antibiotic
  • antiviral
  • inhibitor of glucosylation of proteins
  • tunicamycin causes cell cycle arrest in G1 phase
  • Tunicamycin has anti-angiogenesis properties.

Applications

Tunicamycins inhibit protein glycosylation. They arrest cell cycle in late G1As Tunicamycin affects cell membrane permeability, it was shown to increase production of antibiotics, such as streptomycin PRODUCT USE A tool to study glycoprotein synthesis in a wide variety of biological systems. Family of nucleoside antibiotics produced by Streptomyces lysosuperificus. Tunicamycin interferes with glycoprotein synthesis in yeast and mammalian systems and enhances antiviral and anticellular activity of interferon. Possesses cell - surface altering activity. Inhibits the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate from UDP -N- acetylglucosamine to dolichol monophosphate and thereby blocks the formation of N-glycosidic protein-carbohydrate linkages. Active in vitro against Gram-positive bacteria, yeasts, fungi and viruses.
