Vialinin A is a ubiquitin-specific peptidase inhibitor.

Vialinin A, a small compound isolated from the Chinese mushroom Thelephora vialis, exhibits more effective anti-inflammatory activity than the widely used immunosuppressive drug tacrolimus (FK506). Here, we show that ubiquitin-specific peptidase 5/isopeptidase T (USP5/IsoT) is a target molecule of vialinin A, identified by using a beads-probe method. Vialinin A inhibited ...
the peptidase activity of USP5/IsoT and also inhibited the enzymatic activities of USP4 among deubiquitinating enzymes tested. Although USPs are a member of thiol protease family, vialinin A exhibited no inhibitions for other thiol proteases, such as calpain and cathepsin.
