Ciliobrevin D

SKU: orb1308452

Description

Ciliobrevin D is a cell-permeable small molecule inhibitor of the AAA+ ATPase motor protein cytoplasmic dynein. It is widely used in research to disrupt dynein-dependent processes, including Hedgehog signaling and primary cilia formation in vivo, as well as microtubule motility and ATPase activity in vitro.

Bioactivity

• In Vivo:
  In the testis in vivo, Knockdown of Dync1h1 or inactivation of dynein 1 by Ciliobrevin D perturbs spermatogenesis. The use of Ciliobrevin D to inactivate dynein 1 in the testis in vivo perturbs MT organization through changes in the spatial expression of EB1, perturbs F-actin organization, and perturbs distribution of adhesion protein complexes at the BTB, leading to a loss of BTB integrity.

• In Vitro:
  Ciliobrevin D reversibly inhibits melanosome aggregation, however, the non-cilia-disrupting derivative had no discernible effect at comparable doses. Cells treated with Ciliobrevin D exhibits abnormal (unfocused, multipolar, or collapsed) spindles with disrupted γ-tubulin localization in NIH-3T3 cells. Ciliobrevin D addition also reversibly disrupts the pre-formed spindles of metaphase-arrested cells and reduces overall microtubule levels and it similarly abrogates the movement of peroxisomes in Drosophila S2 cells.
