S-trityl-L-cysteine is a reversible, tight binding inhibitor of the human kinesin Eg5 that specifically blocks mitotic progression

Human Eg5, responsible for the formation of the bipolar mitotic spindle, has been identified
recently as one of the targets of S-trityl-l-cysteine, a potent tumor growth inhibitor in the NCI
60 tumor cell line screen. Here we show that in cell-based assays S-trityl-l-cysteine does not
prevent cell cycle progression at the S or G 2 phases but inhibits both separation of the
duplicated centrosomes and bipolar spindle formation, thereby blocking cells specifically in
the M phase of the cell cycle with monoastral spindles. Following removal of S-trityl-l …
