General description
A cell-permeable isothiourea compound that specifically, rapidly and reversibly perturbs MreB function without affecting eukaryotic actin polymerization. Reported to affect the growth and morphology of Caulobacter crescentus, convert rod-shaped E. coli to round cells, and block DNA segregation without affecting DNA replication. Suggested to interact with MreB′s nucleotide binding pocket and is useful for the temporal analysis of MreB function.
