Biological Activity
| Description | Blasticidin S HCl is a nucleoside antibiotic isolated from Stretomyces girseochromogenes. It acts by blocking hydrolysis of peptidyl-tRNA induced by release factors and inhibits peptide bond formation. It is used to select transfected cells carrying bsr or BSD resistance genes. | ||

| Targets |
|
||
| In vitro | Blasticidin S inhibits protein synthesis by acting on the step of peptide transfer from peptidyl-sRNA to incoming aminoacyl-sRNA. [1] Blasticidin S also significantly inhibits DNA synthesis independent of their effect on protein synthesis. [2] Blasticidin S kills the cells more rapidly than G418, which makes blasticidin S-resistance gene (bsr) a selectable marker for mammalian cells. [3] Besides, Blasticidin S also efficiently binds Cu(II) ions and prevents DNA from metal-induced damage. [4] |
||
| In vivo | Blasticidin S HCl is an antibiotic isolated from Stretomyces girseochromogenes that acts as a protein synthesis inhibitor. It is used to select transfected cells carrying bsr or BSD resistance genes. |
