Abstract
The dinuclear RuII complex [(Ru(phen)2)2(tpphz)]4+ binds to G-actin monomers, preventing assembly into F-actin. This inhibits actin fibre assemblies within live cells and causes disruption to late cytokinesis by interfering with the function of endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESC...

| Abstract: |
The dinuclear RuII complex [(Ru(phen)2)2(tpphz)]4+ binds to G-actin monomers, preventing assembly into F-actin. This inhibits actin fibre assemblies within live cells and causes disruption to late cytokinesis by interfering with the function of endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT) during abscission. These results reveal new possibilities for metal complexes as biomedical tools and novel therapeutic leads. |
