Useful:

• Description: Blasticidin S HCl (3513-03-9) is a peptidyl nucleoside antibiotic inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria and eukaryotes.1?Inhibits translation by trapping deformed tRNA on the ribosome.1?The ABC-type transporter NppA1A2BCD is required for uptake of blasticidin S and other peptidyl nucleoside antibiotics in?Pseudomonas aeruginosa?PA14.2?Selection agent for bis, bsr and bsd transformed cells.3,4
• Uses: Inhibits protein synthesis and induces apoptosis. Used to study protein synthesis at the level of peptide bond formation. Blasticidin S hydrochloride is used to inhibit protein synthesis in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. It also induces apoptosis. Blasticidin S hydrochloride is a salt of blasticidin S, an amphoteric nucleoside produced by several species of Streptomyces, first reported in the late 1950s. Blasticidin S hydrochloride was originally isolated fby acetone precipitation. For historical reasons only the salt has been routinely available to researchers. Both the salt and free base are freely water soluble. Blasticidin S is an antifungal agent with particularly potent activity against the rice pathogen, Piricularia oryzae, for which it was used commercially for some time in Japan. Blasticidin S inhibits protein synthesis and is active against bacteria, tumour cell lines and nematodes. More recently, blasticidin S has been used as a marker for strain manipulations.
