Spliceostatin A (CAT: I009788) is a natural product derived from the bacterium Pseudomonas chartarum. It is a potent inhibitor of pre-mRNA splicing, a crucial step in gene expression. Spliceostatin A targets the spliceosome, a large ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for the removal of introns and the splicing together of exons during mRNA maturation. By inhibiting the spliceosome, spliceostatin A disrupts the splicing process and alters mRNA processing, leading to the accumulation of aberrant splicing products and ultimately affecting protein production. Due to its ability to modulate splicing, spliceostatin A has attracted interest in both basic research and potential therapeutic applications for diseases related to splicing dysregulation, such as cancer.
