General description

Chemical structure: nucleoside

Application

It is used to study tubercidin′s mechanism of toxicity, tubercidin resistance and is used as a selection agent. Tubercidin is used to study RNAi silencing. It is used to study the role of transmethylation in chemotaxis of eukaryotic cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Tubercidin is a toxic adenosine analog with antiviral, antitrypanosomal, and antifungal functions. It inhibits multiple metabolic processes, including RNA processing, nucleic acid synthesis, protein synthesis, and methylation of tRNA through intracellular incorporation into nucleic acids. Tubercidin acts as a plant antifungal, inhibits mammalian SAH hydrolase (SAHH), and blocks purine biosynthesis in Candida famata. Tubercidin inhibits glycolysis in Trypanosoma brucei. Tubercidin inhibits both chemotaxis and chemotaxis-dependent cell streaming of Dictyostelium, and chemotaxis of neutrophils at concentrations that have little effect on cell viability.
