Biochem/physiol Actions

Originally isolated from the marine sponge Thorectandra sp., fascaplysin chloride is a selective, potent inhibitor of cyclin dependent kinase 4/cyclin D1 (IC50 = 0.35 μM). It is significantly less selective for Cdk6/D1 (IC50 = 3.4 μM) and not selective for the other Cdks and tyrosine kinases.

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) successively phosphorylate the retinoblastoma protein (RB) at the restriction point in G1 phase. Hyperphosphorylation results in functional inactivation of RB, activation of the E2F transcriptional program, and entry of cells into S phase. RB unphosphorylated at serine
