The structure of paclitaxel, a widely used mitotic inhibitor. A mitotic inhibitor, microtubule inhibitor, or tubulin inhibitor, is a drug that inhibits mitosis, or cell division, and is used in treating cancer, gout, and nail fungus. These drugs disrupt microtubules, which are structures that pull the chromosomes apart when a cell divides.
Early Mitotic Inhibitor 1 (EMI1) is an important cell cycle regulator which ensures timely mitotic entry by primarily inhibiting Anaphase-Promoting Complex/Cyclosome (APC/C) activity. This protein is present in many organisms including Xenopus, Zebrafish, Drosophila (homologous protein: Rca1), and Humans (also often known as F-box only protein ...

Vinblastine is a vinca alkaloid [9] [2] [10] and a chemical analogue of vincristine. [11] [12] It binds tubulin, thereby inhibiting the assembly of microtubules. [13]Vinblastine treatment causes M phase specific cell cycle arrest by disrupting microtubule assembly and proper formation of the mitotic spindle and the kinetochore, each of which are necessary for the separation of chromosomes ...

The discovery of the Wee1 gene is accredited to Paul Nurse, who first identified it in fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe) in 1978. In his initial experiments, Nurse demonstrated Wee1 to be a negative regulator of mitosis, such that Wee1+ activity was critical in preventing premature mitosis in Cdc25+ (a mitotic inducer) yeast cells and increased Wee1+ expression could further delay cell ...
Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with selective activity against RET, VEGFR-2 and EGFR: Medullary thyroid cancer. Diarrhoea, hypertension, QT interval prolongation, depression, electrolyte anomalies, hypothyroidism and GI perforation (uncommon). 2.3 mTOR inhibitors: Everolimus: PO: mTOR inhibitor.
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the Fbxs class. This protein is similar to xenopus early mitotic inhibitor-1 (Emi1), which is a mitotic regulator that interacts with Cdc20 and inhibits the anaphase promoting complex. [7] Moreover, Emi1 also assembles a CRL1 complex that targets RAD51 for ubiquitin-mediated degradation. [8]
