Description | 5-A-RU (5-Amino-6-(D-ribitylamino)uracil), a precursor of bacterial Riboflavin, is a mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells activator. 5-A-RU forms potent MAIT-activating antigens via non-enzymatic reactions with small molecules that are derived from other metabolic pathways.This compound is unstable in powder form and other related salt forms are recommended. |
In vitro | 5-A-RU presents in diverse bacteria and yeast as well as plants. 5-A-RU plays an important role in MAIT cell activation, MR1 could not be refolded efficiently with 5-ARU alone. 5-A-RU is a precursor for MAIT cell ligand [2]. 5-A-RU can react extemporaneously with glyoxal and methylglyoxal to generate pyrimidine adducts that activate mouse MAIT cells from STg (iVa19) and DTg (iVa19Vb6) animals [3]. |
In vivo | 5-A-RU (100 nM; i.p.; 18 hours) and methylglyoxal (MeG) are mixed extemporaneously, MAIT cells are activated in iVa19 Cα-/- Tg mice (generated on the C57BL/6 background) [3]. |
