Fungerin, a fungal alkaloid, arrests the cell cycle in M phase by inhibition of microtubule polymerization.

چکیده
A fungal alkaloid fungerin was found to arrest the cell cycle of Jurkat cells at the G2/M phase, then to induce apoptosis. Immunoblotting showed that fungerin led to hyperphosphorylation for Cdc25C and dephosphorylation of Cdc2, indicating that the compound arrests the cell cycle at the M phase. Moreover, fungerin inhibited the polymerization of microtubule proteins in vitro. It was concluded that fungerin arrests the cell cycle at the M phase through inhibition of microtubule polymerization.

متن کاملIn-silico Investigation of Tubulin Binding Modes of a Series of Novel Antiproliferative Spiroisoxazoline Compounds Using Docking Studies
Interference with microtubule polymerization results in cell cycle arrest leading to cell death. Colchicine is a well-known microtubule polymerization inhibitor which does so by binding to a specific site on tubulin. A set of 3',4'-bis (substituted phenyl)-4'H-spiro[indene-2,5'-isoxazol]-1(3H)-one derivatives with known antiproliferative activities were evaluated for their tubulin binding modes...

Introduction: One mechanism of cell cycle manipulation and mitotic catastrophe is arrest at G2/M phase of cell cycle. Cabazitaxel, a mitotic inhibitor agent, is a second-generation semisynthetic taxane. An expected anti-neoplastic effect of Cabazitaxel is cell cycle perturbation and alteration of microtubule dynamics. In contrast to other taxane compounds, Cabazitaxel is a poo...
