General description

A cell-permeable, peptide-based (Z- QVPL) irreversible inhibitor of transglutaminase 2 (TG2) (IC50 = 150 nM for recombinant TG2) that acts by reacting with the active site cysteine of TG2. Exhibits far less potency against TG1 and TG3. Shown to significantly increase PGC-1a and cytochrome c mRNA levels in Q7 and Q111 cells (~50 mM). Also shown to enhance cytochrome c promoter activity by 250% in Q111 cells. Exhibits protective effect in cells exposed to 3-nitropropionic acid and NMDA, however, it does not directly affect mitochondrial bioenergetics.

Warning

Toxicity: Standard Handling (A)

Reconstitution

The major barrier to a HIV-1 cure is the persistence of latent genomes despite treatment with antiretrovirals. To investigate host factors which promote HIV-1 latency, we conducted a genome-wide functional knockout screen using CRISPR-Cas9 in a HIV-1 latency cell line
