Product Data
Biological target:
Rhodblock 3 is an inhibitor of Rho Kinase pathway. Rhodblock 3 acts upstream of Rok in Drosophila, resulting in the downregulation of Rok and inhibition of myosin phosphorylation. Rhodblock 3 inhibits phospho-MRLC localization as well as furrow localization of the septin Peanut and increased Peanut’s localization on microtubules but did not affect other proteins tested, such as Anillin.
In vitro activity:
This study discovered the molecules Rhodblock and identified their target as Rho kinase. Several Rhodblocks inhibited the correct localization of phosphorylated myosin light chain during cytokinesis. Rhodblocks differentially perturb Rho pathway proteins in cells and can be used to dissect the mechanism of the Rho pathway during cytokinesis.
