ANKS4B Inhibitors

ANKS4B, also known as Ankyrin Repeat and SAM Domain-Containing Protein 4B, is a protein that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including signal transduction, protein-protein interactions, and gene expression regulation. To inhibit ANKS4B, several chemicals can be employed, either directly targeting the protein or indirectly modulating the signaling pathways associated with its function. One direct inhibitor of ANKS4B is MLN4924 (CAS Number: 1201902-80-8). MLN4924 inhibits ANKS4B by targeting the NEDD8-activating enzyme (NAE), which is responsible for the activation of the NEDD8 protein. By binding to the NAE, MLN4924 prevents the neddylation process, leading to the inhibition of ANKS4B and its downstream signaling pathways. Another indirect inhibitor is BAY 11-7082 (CAS Number: 19542-67-7), which selectively inhibits NF-κB activation. ANKS4B is known to interact with NF-κB and modulate its activity. By blocking NF-κB activation, BAY 11-7082 disrupts the downstream effects of ANKS4B. JQ1 (CAS Number: 1268524-70-4) is a small molecule inhibitor that targets the bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) proteins. ANKS4B has been shown to interact with BET proteins, and by inhibiting their binding to chromatin, JQ1 disrupts the transcriptional regulation mediated by ANKS4B.

GSK-J4 (CAS Number: 1373422-53-7) is a selective inhibitor of the Jumonji domain-containing protein family of histone demethylases, including JMJD3. ANKS4B interacts with JMJD3, and by inhibiting its activity, GSK-J4 indirectly inhibits ANKS4B-mediated gene expression. Other chemicals that can inhibit ANKS4B include bafilomycin A1 (CAS Number: 88899-55-2), cyclosporin A (CAS Number: 59865-13-3), Resatorvid (CAS Number: 243984-11-4), doxycycline (CAS Number: 564-25-0), rapamycin (CAS Number: 53123-88-9), PD 98059 (CAS Number: 167869-21-8), SB 203580 (CAS Number: 152121-53-4), and LY 294002 (CAS Number: 154447-36-6). Each of these chemicals acts through different mechanisms, targeting specific cellular processes or signaling pathways associated with ANKS4B. In summary, ANKS4B inhibitors can directly target the protein itself or indirectly modulate the signaling pathways involved in its function. These inhibitors provide valuable tools for studying the role of ANKS4B in cellular processes and may have potential applications in targeting ANKS4B-associated diseases.
