PDDC1, also known as Polycomb group RING finger protein 5 (PCGF5), is a component of the Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1). PRC1 is a multi-protein complex that plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of gene silencing through histone modification. Specifically, PRC1 has been shown to mono-ubiquitinate histone H2A, leading to the repression of specific genes. PDDC1, as a part of this complex, is believed to contribute to the stability and function of PRC1, ensuring the proper regulation of target genes.
Inhibitors targeting PDDC1 aim to modulate the activity of the PRC1 complex by disrupting the function of PDDC1. By doing so, these inhibitors can change the epigenetic landscape of the cell, leading to the activation or deactivation of specific genes. The design and development of PDDC1 inhibitors are based on the structural and functional understanding of the PRC1 complex and the specific role of PDDC1 within this assembly. The specificity and selectivity of these inhibitors are crucial to ensure that they target PDDC1 without significantly affecting other proteins or pathways in the cell. As our understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing PRC1 and PDDC1 deepens, the design of more potent and selective inhibitors becomes feasible, offering a tool to further study the intricate processes of epigenetic regulation.

3-Nitropropionic acid | 504-88-1 | sc-214148 sc-214148A | 1 g 10 g | $80.00 $450.00 | ||
3-Nitropropionic acid is a PDC1 inhibitor that competes with pyruvate for binding to the enzyme's active site. This prevents PDC1 from catalyzing the conversion of pyruvate to acetaldehyde and carbon dioxide. | ||||||
Fomepizole | 7554-65-6 | sc-252838 | 1 g | $74.00 | 1 | |
Fomepizole is a PDC1 inhibitor that acts as a non-competitive inhibitor of the enzyme. This means that it binds to PDC1 at a site other than the active site, which causes the enzyme to change its conformation and become inactive. | ||||||
Ouabain-d3 (Major) | sc-478417 | 1 mg | $506.00 | |||
Ouabain is a PDC1 inhibitor that acts by inhibiting the Na+/K+ ATPase pump. This prevents the pump from maintaining the electrochemical gradient across the cell membrane, which is required for PDC1 activity. | ||||||
