Ciliobrevin D is the first specific small molecule antagonist of cytoplasmic dynein, and can inhibit both cytoplasmic dynein 1 and 2. The conversion of chemical energy into mechanical force by AAA+ ATPases is integral to cellular processes, including DNA replication, protein unfolding, cargo transport and membrane fusion. The AAA+ ATPase motor cytoplasmic dynein regulates ciliary trafficking, mitotic spindle formation and organelle transport. Ciliobrevin D perturbs protein trafficking within the primary cilium, leading to their malformation and Hedgehog signaling blockade. It also prevents spindle pole focusing, kinetochore-microtubule attachment, melanosome aggregation and peroxisomemotility in cultured cells. Ciliobrevin D can block dynein-dependent microtubule gliding and ATPase activity in vitro. Therefore it serves as a useful probe for dynein-dependent processes and studying cellular processes that require this microtubule motor.
