General description
Chemical structure: peptidyl nucleoside
Puromycin is a broad spectrum antibiotic produced by Streptomyces alboniger. It is an analog of the 3′ end of aminoacyl-tRNA.[5][6] It is an inhibitor of peptidyl transferase and is active in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.[6]
Application
Puromycin dihydrochloride from Streptomyces alboniger has been used:
• in the preparation of puromycin stock solution for puromycin sensitivity assay.[2]
• to select lentivirus-infected cells containing puromycin resistant selection marker.[3][4][1]
Puromycin dihydrochloride is a part of the amino-nucleoside family of antibiotics and is derived from Streptomyces alboniger. It is a broad spectrum antibiotic with antitumor activity, as an inhibitor of protein synthesis and has been used to study transcription regulatory mechanisms that control the sequential and coordinate expression of genes during cell differentiation. The recommended working concentration in eukaryotic cell culture is 1-10 μg/mL.
Used as a selective agent for cells that contain the resistance gene puromycin N-acetyl-transferase (PAC). Recommended for use at a range of 1-10 μg/ml. Sterilize stock solution by filtration using 0.22 μm filter then store in aliquots at −20 °C.

Biochem/physiol Actions
Puromycin associates in a non-specific manner with growing polypeptide chains, and thus, leads to premature termination of translation. It inhibits protein synthesis in two ways. It associates with the donor substrate, peptidyl-tRNA, in the P site and thus, functions as an acceptor substrate. Second, it competes with aminoacyl tRNA to bind with the A′ site within the peptidyl transferase center.[6]
