General description

Aphidicolin is a tetracyclic diterpene with antiviral and antimitotic properties used for cell cycle synchronization in various cell lines.[1]

Application

Aphidicolin, from Nigrospora sphaerica, was used for cell cycle synchronization of tobacco BY-2 cells. It is used to block the entry of cells into S-phase.[2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Aphidicolin specifically inhibits DNA polymerase α that is responsible for DNA replication. It also inhibits α-like DNA polymerases of plants and yeasts but does not inhibit synthesis of RNA and proteins. Aphidicolin competes for the dCTP-specific binding site on DNA polymerase α specifically. Aphidicolin has antiviral and antimitotic properties. It blocks the cell cycle at S phase. It has been shown to induce apoptosis in HeLa cells.[3]

The mode of inhibitory action by aphidicolin on eukaryotic DNA polymerase alpha.

M Oguro et al.

European journal of biochemistry, 97(2), 603-607 (1979-07-01)

The mode of action by aphidicolin on DNA polymerase alpha from the nuclear fraction of sea-urchin blastulae was studied. The inhibition of DNA polymerase alpha by aphidicolin was uncompetive with activated DNA and competitive with the four deoxynucleoside triphosphates using

Endoreduplication is not inhibited but induced by aphidicolin in cultured cells of tobacco.

Anne-Hélène Quélo et al.

Journal of experimental botany, 53(369), 669-675 (2002-03-12)

Endoreduplication is a common process in plants that allows cells to increase their DNA content. In the tobacco cell cultures studied in this work it can be induced by simple hormone deprivation. Mesophyll protoplast-derived cells cultured in the presence of

Aphidicolin triggers a block to replication origin firing in Xenopus egg extracts.

K Marheineke et al.

The Journal of biological chemistry, 276(20), 17092-17100 (2001-03-30)

DNA replication origins are located at random with respect to DNA sequence in Xenopus early embryos and on DNA replicated in Xenopus egg extracts. We have recently shown that origins fire throughout the S phase in Xenopus egg extracts. To

Synchronization of HeLa cell cultures by inhibition of DNA polymerase alpha with aphidicolin.

G Pedrali-Noy et al.

Nucleic acids research, 8(2), 377-387 (1980-01-25)

Both the inhibitory effect of aphidicolin on the replicative alpha-polymerase and the reversibility of its action in vivo (Pedrali-Noy & Spadari, 1979, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 88, 1194-2002) allow the synchronization of cells in culture. Aphidicolin prevents G1 cells from

Prominent Oncogenic Roles of EVI1 in Breast Carcinoma.

Hui Wang et al.

Cancer research, 77(8), 2148-2160 (2017-02-18)

Overexpression of the EVI1 oncogene is associated typically with aggressive myeloid leukemia, but is also detectable in breast carcinoma where its contributions are unexplored. Analyzing a tissue microarray of 608 breast carcinoma patient specimens, we documented EVI1 overexpression in both
