TSR1 Activators

Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) and Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) are prominent for their roles in growth and development, engaging receptors that trigger signaling cascades to enhance protein synthesis and ribosomal biogenesis, thereby positively affecting TSR1 activity. Leptomycin B, with its unique ability to inhibit nuclear export, results in the retention of ribosome biogenesis factors within the nucleus, which can inadvertently boost TSR1's functional engagement. Triptolide emerges with a dual nature, disrupting transcription factors and potentially leading to a state where cellular mechanisms might compensate by upregulating TSR1. Similarly, the nuanced role of Rapamycin, primarily known as an mTOR inhibitor, extends to ribosomal biogenesis, where it can enforce a complex feedback loop that indirectly modulates TSR1. Actinomycin D and 5-Fluorouracil interfere with the transcription and processing of RNA, a disturbance that can lead to compensatory cellular responses potentially elevating TSR1 activity.

Retinoic acid, a derivative of vitamin A, exerts its influence by regulating gene expression, which might encompass the genes involved in ribosome assembly, potentially enhancing TSR1 activity. Triamcinolone Acetonide, a glucocorticoid, similarly modulates transcription with possible effects on ribosomal biogenesis and TSR1 activity. Trichostatin A, as a histone deacetylase inhibitor, opens the chromatin structure, which may facilitate the transcription of genes involved in ribosome production, indirectly affecting TSR1. Roxithromycin, though an antibiotic, may have off-target effects in eukaryotic cells that include shifts in ribosomal biogenesis, impacting TSR1. Cycloheximide's role in inhibiting protein synthesis invokes feedback mechanisms that seek to bolster ribosome production, a state that might also elevate the activity of TSR1.
