Application
CK-869 has been used as an Arp2/3 complex inhibitor:
- to treat cultured mammalian cells and study its in vitro and in vivo effects on microtubule assembly
- to induce membrane blebbing in HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells
- to treat KDM3A-null cells and study the relation between actin dynamics and ciliogenesis
Biochem/physiol Actions
CK-0157869 (CK-869) prevents microtubule (MT) assembly, free of Arp2/3 complex.
CK-869 is a cell-permeable inhibitor of actin assembly mediated by the actin-related protein Arp2/3 complex of human and bovine, but not yeast. The actin-related protein Arp2/3 complex plays a major role in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. Apparently the compound binds to the hydrophobic core of Arp3 and alters its conformation.
