DDX36 Activators

The chemical class DDX36 Activators encompasses a range of compounds that could indirectly modulate the activity of DDX36, a DEAD-box helicase involved in RNA metabolism. These compounds do not interact directly with DDX36 but influence the broader cellular processes and pathways related to RNA synthesis, processing, and modification, in which DDX36 plays a crucial role. Inhibitors of RNA polymerase such as Actinomycin D, α-Amanitin, and DRB could create a cellular environment where the demand for RNA processing and modification is altered, leading to an increased requirement for DDX36 activity. By inhibiting RNA synthesis, these compounds might indirectly enhance the role of DDX36 in managing the existing RNA pool within the cell.

Further, compounds that affect epigenetic regulation and gene expression, such as Sodium Butyrate, Trichostatin A, and 5-Azacytidine, might influence DDX36 by altering the expression of genes involved in RNA processing pathways. This alteration in gene expression could indirectly modulate the demand for DDX36's RNA processing capabilities. Similarly, Forskolin and Rapamycin, known to affect cAMP levels and protein synthesis respectively, might also impact RNA processing activities involving DDX36.
