Transcriptional Up-regulation in Cells Mediated by a Small Molecule
摘要:
Activator artificial transcription factors, molecules that seek out specific genes and up-regulate their transcription, are desirable as mechanistic tools and as potential therapeutic agents. One challenge has been the identification of small molecule-based activator ATFs that function in cellular systems. Here we demonstrate that an amphipathic isoxazolidine activates transcription up to 80-fold in human cells when targeted to a specific promoter. Analogous to natural transcriptional activators, the function of the isoxazolidine appears to be independent of the DNA-targeting moiety, suggesting that the molecule will be effective in a variety of contexts. This is thus a critical step toward activator ATFs constructed from small molecule components.

Small molecules that mimic the transcriptional activation domain of eukaryotic transcriptional activators have the potential to serve as effective inhibitors of transcriptional processes. Here we show that one class of transcriptional activation domain mimics, amphipathic isoxazolidines, can be converted into inhibitors of gene expression mediated by the transcriptional activator ESX through small structural modi. cations. Addition of the small molecules leads to decreased expression of the cell surface growth receptor ErbB2(Her2) in ErbB2-positive cancer cells and, correspondingly, decreased proliferation.
