General description
A cell-permeable quinazoline-thione compound that acts as a potent, specific, and reversible inhibitor of the microtubule-stimulated ATPase activity of the mitotic motor, Eg5 (IC50 = 200 nM). Exhibits little effect on the ATPase activity of kinesin-1, -4, -7 and -10 and is ~100-fold more potent than Monastrol (Cat. No. 475879). Also inhibits bipolar spindle formation in both HeLa cells and in Xenopus egg extracts and induces cell cycle arrest (~1 µM). Shown to induce mitotic arrest and apoptosis and upregulate Hsp70 in human multiple myeloma cells.

Chromosomal instability (CIN) is a hallmark of many cancers. Restricting the localization of centromeric histone H3 variant CENP-A to centromeres prevents CIN. CENP-A overexpression (OE) and mislocalization have been observed in cancers and correlate with poor prognosis; however, the molecular

During the entry process, the human papillomavirus (HPV) capsid is trafficked to the trans-Golgi network (TGN), whereupon it enters the nucleus during mitosis. We previously demonstrated that the minor capsid protein L2 assumes a transmembranous conformation in the TGN. Here
