Identification of the First Specific Inhibitor of p90 Ribosomal S6 Kinase (RSK) Reveals an Unexpected Role for RSK in Cancer Cell Proliferation
1 Feb 2005
Abstract excerpt
p90 ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK) is an important downstream effector of mitogen-activated protein kinase, but its biological functions are not well understood. We have now identified the first small-molecule, RSK-specific inhibitor, which we isolated from the tropical plant Forsteronia refracta. We have named this novel inhibitor SL0101. SL0101 shows remarkable specificity for RSK. The major determinant of...
