Trioxalen (trimethylpsoralen) plus near-u.v. light, a potent inhibitor of DNA and RNA synthesis, inhibits the induction of ornithine decarboxylase in stationary-phase V79 fibroblasts. It does not affect the translation of pre-existing mRNA. The method, in view of its high degree of specificity and precise timing, is a better choice for inhibiting RNA synthesis than the commonly used chemical inhibitors and precursor analogues.
三甲沙林(三甲基补骨脂素)加近紫外线,一种有效的DNA和RNA合成抑制剂,可抑制静止期V79成纤维细胞中鸟氨酸脱羧酶的诱导。它不影响预先存在的mRNA的翻译。鉴于其高度的特异性和精确的时间控制,该方法在抑制RNA合成方面比常用的化学抑制剂和前体类似物是更好的选择。
