CENPVL2 Inhibitors

CENPVL2 inhibitors encompass a range of compounds that indirectly influence the activity of the protein, primarily through their interactions with cellular structures and enzymes that are involved in the cell cycle and mitosis. For instance, certain compounds can disrupt the phosphorylation states within the cell, which could alter the performance of CENPVL2, a protein that is presumed to be involved in the centromere function during cell division. Other inhibitors target DNA synthesis and chromosomal integrity, potentially compromising CENPVL2's ability to maintain its association with centromeres and chromosome segregation. Some chemicals specifically bind to tubulin, either stabilizing or destabilizing microtubules, which are essential for proper mitotic spindle function-a process where CENPVL2 is likely to play a role. By affecting the microtubule dynamics, these compounds may indirectly hinder CENPVL2's ability to participate in chromosome alignment and segregation during cell division.

Additional classes of CENPVL2 inhibitors interfere with the activity of key mitotic kinases. Inhibition of proteins like Aurora kinases, which are vital for mitosis, could lead to faulty chromosome alignment and segregation, processes that require the precise function of CENPVL2. Furthermore, compounds that inhibit cyclin-dependent kinases or target Plk1 disrupt cell cycle progression and spindle assembly, respectively. These disruptions have the potential to affect CENPVL2's activities within the centromere during the critical phases of cell division.
