Remodelin

Biological Activity

Remodelin is a novel potent and selective inhibitor of the acetyl-transferase protein NAT10.Remodelin can improve nuclear architecture, chromatin organization, and fitness of both human lamin A/C-depleted cells and HGPS-derived patient cells, and decrease markers of DNA damage in these cells. Using a combination of chemical, cellular, and genetic approaches, acetyl-transferase protein NAT10 was identified as the target of Remodelin that mediated nuclear shape rescue in laminopathic cells via microtubule reorganization. Down-regulation and mutations of the nuclear-architecture proteins lamin A and C cause misshapen nuclei and altered chromatin organization associated with cancer and laminopathies, including the premature-aging disease Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS). Remodelin is a useful chemical tool to study how NAT10 affects nuclear architecture and suggest alternative strategies for treating laminopathies and aging.
