General description

Chemical structure: peptide

Application

Actinonin has been used as a control to inhibit meprin-β activity in C57BL/6 mice. It has also been used to study the high-affinity interaction of EcPDF with actinonin by 15N NMR spectroscopy and isothermal titration.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Actinonin has inhibitory action against peptide deformylase (PDF). It is effective against Gram-positive and fastidious Gram-negative microorganisms.
Actinonin is an inhibitor of leucine aminopeptidase. Actinonin has also been used to improve antibacterial activity and antiobesity therapeutics.

The antibiotic actinonin kills malaria parasites (Plasmodium falciparum) by interfering with apicoplast function. Early evidence suggested that actinonin inhibited prokaryote-like post-translational modification in the apicoplast; mimicking its activity against bacteria. However, Amberg Johnson et al.

For several decades, molecular recognition has been considered one of the most fundamental processes in biochemistry. For enzymes, substrate binding is often coupled to conformational changes that alter the local environment of the active site to align the reactive groups

Vaginal delivery with obstetrical trauma is a risk factor for pelvic organ prolapse later in life. Loss of fibulin-5 (FBLN5), an elastogenesis-promoting cellular matrix protein, results in prolapse in mice. Here, we evaluated effects of pregnancy, parturition, and obstetrical injury
