Bioactivity | 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (2-Hydroxymethyl-5-furfural), derived from Cornus officinalis, inhibits yeast growth and fermentation as stressors. | |||||||||
Invitro | It is found that furfural and HMF cause the attenuation of bulk translation activity and the assembly of cytoplasmic mRNP granules in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Notably, a combination of furfural and HMF induce the remarkable repression of translation initiation and SG formation. Furfural and HMF can induce the formation of cytoplasmic mRNP granules, HMF also causes a gradual reduction in the polysome fraction and a concomitant increase in the 80S monosome fraction[1]. | |||||||||
