Cyclic di-UMP is a pyrimidine-containing cyclic dinucleotide (CDN).1It is produced by bacterial cGAS DncV-like nucleotidyltransferases (CD-NTases), such as LpCdnE02 fromL. pneumophila, and binds to cGAS, in the apo or dsDNA-bound forms, with reduced affinity compared to 2'3'-cGAMP or 3'3'-cGAMP .1,2Cyclic di-UMP is intended for use as a negative control for cyclic di-GMP signaling. 1.Whiteley, A.T., Eaglesham, J.B., de Oliveira Mann, C.C., et al.Bacterial cGAS-like enzymes synthesize diverse nucleotide signalsNature564(7747)194-199(2019) 2.Hall, J., Ralph, E.C., Shanker, S., et al.The catalytic mechanism of cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) and implications for innate immunity and inhibitionProtein Sci.26(12)2367-2380(2017)
Gadoleic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid.1,2It inhibits the dsDNA binding activity of p53 when used at a concentration of 1.2 nM.1Hepatic levels of gadoleic acid are reduced in rats fed a high-fat or a high-fat high-cholesterol diet and increased in rats fed a high-cholesterol diet.2 1.Iijima, H., Kasai, N., Chiku, H., et al.The inhibitory action of long-chain fatty acids on the DNA binding activity of p53Lipids41(6)521-527(2006) 2.Serviddio, G., Bellanti, F., Villani, R., et al.Effects of dietary fatty acids and cholesterol excess on liver injury: A lipidomic approachRedox Biol.9296-305(2016)
