Application

Adenosine, periodate oxidized has been used:
  • as a methylarginine transferase inhibitor in the human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 T cells
  • as a methylase inhibitor in H4 neuroglioma
  • as a broad inhibitor of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet)-dependent methyltransferases in mouse embryo fibroblast NIH3T3 cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

Adenosine, periodate oxidized (Adox) is a protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) inhibitor. It also inhibits the enzyme S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase and induces apoptosis. Its inhibitory effect on histone methyltransferases prevents histone methylation. Adox also elicits intrinsic cytotoxic properties.

Trimethylation of lysine 9 on histone H3 (H3K9me3) is known both to be necessary for proper chromosome segregation and to increase in late G2. We investigated the role of late G2 methylation, specifically in mitotic progression, by inhibiting methylation for

We have analysed the importance of proper substrate methylation by S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferases for cell survival and cell cycle progression. We show that treatment of cells with the methyltransferase inhibitor adenosine dialdehyde (AdOx) causes cell cycle arrest and death in different

Methylation of protein arginines represents an important post-translational modification mechanism, which has so far primarily been characterized in mammalian cells. In this work, we successfully identified and characterized arginine methylation as a crucial type of post-translational modification in the activity

Many clinical and epidemiological studies show that mild hyperhomocysteinemia is associated with premature vascular disease. Information about the metabolism of homocysteine is therefore essential for an understanding of its role in atherogenesis, thereby enabling a modulation of that risk. In

Pharmacologic reactivation of fetal hemoglobin expression is a promising strategy for treatment of sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the methyl transferase inhibitor adenosine-2',3'-dialdehyde (Adox) on induction of human fetal
