C9orf114 activators include a variety of chemical compounds that indirectly enhance the functional activity of C9orf114 by modulating distinct intracellular signaling pathways. Forskolin, for instance, by raising intracellular cAMP levels, indirectly promotes C9orf114's activity by activating protein kinase A (PKA), which subsequently phosphorylates proteins that may interact with and enhance the activity of C9orf114. The cAMP analog 8-Br-cAMP also activates PKA, leading to a similar enhancement of C9orf114 function via phosphorylation of associated proteins. Ionomycin and A23187, both calcium ionophores, elevate intracellular calcium levels, which can activate calcium-dependent kinases that modulate the activity of C9orf114, highlighting the importance of calcium signaling in the regulation of C9orf114's activity.
Further, compounds like Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and Genistein operate through kinase inhibition, with EGCG potentially enhancing C9orf114 activity by inhibiting alternative pathways that compete with C9orf114's signaling, allowing for more predominant C9orf114-related activity. LY294002 and U0126, inhibitors of PI3K and MEK1/2 respectively, may shift the balance of cellular signaling in favor of pathways that enhance C9orf114 activity, suggesting that the activity of C9orf114 can be indirectly upregulated by manipulating upstream signaling pathways. Additionally, PMA activates protein kinase C (PKC) which has downstream effects that include the modulation of C9orf114 activity, and SB203580, by inhibiting p38 MAPK, alters signaling dynamics to favor the activation of C9orf114. Collectively, these activators underscore the complex interplay between various signaling molecules and pathways in the regulation of C9orf114 activity, enhancing its functional role within the cell without directly upregulating its expression or through direct activation.
