15837795 Beischlag TV, Perdew GH: ER alpha-AHR-ARNT protein-protein interactions mediate estradiol-dependent transrepression of dioxin-inducible gene transcription. J Biol Chem. 2005 Jun 3;280(22):21607-11. Epub 2005 Apr 18.

Both AHR and ARNT were capable of interacting directly with ER alpha, as ascertained by glutathione S-transferase pull-down. 17Beta-estradiol repressed TCDD-activated Cyp1a1 and Cyp1b1 gene transcription in MCF-7 cells in the presence of cycloheximide, as determined by reverse transcription/real-time PCR.

15993699 Fatima RA, Ahmad M: Certain antioxidant enzymes of Allium cepa as biomarkers for the detection of toxic heavy metals in wastewater. Sci Total Environ. 2005 Jun 15;346(1-3):256-73.

In the presence of cycloheximide, all the enzymes returned to the levels of untreated controls while chloramphenicol did not have any effect on the test enzymes, thereby suggesting de novo protein synthesis of the test antioxidant enzymes in the cytosolic compartment of the cell as a result of exposure to the heavy metals.
The utility of antioxidant enzymes, viz glutathione-S-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GR), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) and dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), as biomarkers of heavy metal pollution in water was investigated using the Allium cepa (onion) system.

The protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide significantly inhibited metal-mediated induction of Nqo1 and Gst ya mRNAs, which coincided with a decrease in the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) protein expression, implying the requirement of Nrf2 protein synthesis for the induction of these genes.

The suppressive effects of alpha-amanitin and cycloheximide suggest that JHA induction of GST activity in these cutworm larvae presumably occurred at the gene transcription level.

Consistent with posttranscriptional action, knockdown of PIN1 increased the stability of iNOS protein in cycloheximide-treated cells.
