Cytochalasin B is a mycotoxin binding to the barbed end of actin filaments. It can disrupt the formation of actin polymers (Kd: 1.4-2.2 nM for F-actin).
Dihydrocytochalasin B (H2CB) 是一种细胞分裂抑制剂,抑制胞质分裂并改变细胞的形态,破坏 Swiss/3T3 小鼠成纤维细胞的肌动蛋白结构,抑制血清生长因子在静止培养物中刺激 DNA 合成的能力,瓦解肌动蛋白细胞结构并抑制 3T3 细胞中 DNA 合成的启动。低剂量的 H2CB 会导致细胞变圆和肌动蛋白微丝束的丢失。
Latrunculin A is a toxin isolated from the red sea sponge Latrunculia magnifica. Latrunculin A binds to actin monomers and it also inhibits polymerization of actin (Kds: 0.1, 0.4, 4.7 μM, and 0.19 μM for ATP-actin, ADP-Pi-actin, ADP-actin, and G-actin, re
