Diazaborine inhibits maturation of rRNAs for the large ribosomal subunit. Diazaborine blocks ribosome biogenesis by inhibiting the AAA-ATPase Drg1. Diazaborine treatment causes, within minutes, a rapid redistribution of the protein from the nucleolus to t
7-Methylguanosine 5’-diphosphate (7-Methyl-GDP) sodium, a cap analog, can be used in the synthesis of mRNA cap analogues[1]. 7-Methylguanosine 5’-diphosphate sodium inhibits binding of eukaryotic initiation factors to reovirus capped mRNA and complex formation involving uncapped mRNA or 18 S rRNA[1].T. brucei mRNA decapping enzyme (TbDcp2) that cleaves 7-Methylguanosine 5’-diphosphate sodium from capped RNA to generate pRNA, a substrate for TbCe1[2].
