Extra Details:
VGN50 is a peptide derived from the Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpes virus transactivator (K-Rta) sequence, based on the binding interface of K-Rta and cellular coactivators. VGN50 interacts with components of coactivators including nuclear receptor coactivator 2 (NCOA2), p300, and SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable (SWI/SNF), the subfamily of ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex proteins. VGN50 blocks recruitment of the SWI/SNF complex and results in downregulation of both MYC and MYC-target gene transcription. Expression of MYC is tightly regulated in normal cells but becomes dysregulated in many types of human cancer cells, and application of VGN50 can reduce cell proliferation and selectively kill cancer cell lines in both tissue culture and a xenograft tumour mouse model.
