MAGOH Inhibitors

MAGOH inhibitors belong to a specific class of compounds designed to modulate the activity of the MAGOH protein, a critical component of the exon junction complex (EJC). These inhibitors are meticulously developed to interact with MAGOH, affecting its role in mRNA splicing and post-transcriptional gene regulation. The EJC, in conjunction with MAGOH, plays an essential role in ensuring the accurate splicing and translation of mRNA transcripts. By selectively engaging with MAGOH, these inhibitors aim to influence processes such as alternative splicing, nonsense-mediated decay, and translation efficiency. MAGOH inhibitors can encompass a range of chemical structures, including small molecules or peptides, designed to effectively target MAGOH's functional domains.

The primary purpose of developing MAGOH inhibitors is to investigate the intricate mechanisms by which the EJC and MAGOH contribute to mRNA processing and gene expression regulation. By modulating MAGOH activity, researchers can gain insights into how this protein participates in quality control mechanisms that ensure proper mRNA splicing and translation. These inhibitors serve as invaluable tools for exploring the complex interplay between RNA processing events and the orchestration of gene expression. MAGOH inhibitors offer a unique avenue to delve into the connections between post-transcriptional regulation and cellular processes at the molecular level. By selectively interfering with MAGOH, researchers can uncover the molecular events that underlie mRNA splicing accuracy, translation fidelity, and mRNA surveillance.
