Chemicals classified as MYH14 inhibitors would be characterized by their ability to modulate the activity of MYH14 indirectly by influencing myosin function or the related actin cytoskeleton. These compounds can impact the cellular processes MYH14 is involved in, such as cell shape maintenance, cytokinesis, and cell migration, by changing the dynamics of actin and myosin interactions.
Blebbistatin and its inactive form, (-)-Blebbistatin, can bind to myosin II and inhibit its ATPase activity, which can in turn affect the function of MYH14 in cellular contractility. ML-7 and Y-27632 target kinases directly responsible for the phosphorylation of myosin light chains and the regulation of the actomyosin cytoskeleton, respectively, influencing MYH14's role in these processes. Compounds such as CK-666 and Wiskostatin disrupt the formation of actin structures by inhibiting the Arp2/3 complex and N-WASP-Arp2/3 complex, which could lead to a decrease in MYH14's interaction with actin filaments.Additionally, SMIFH2 and BMS-5 target proteins involved in actin filament formation and regulation, such as formins and LIM kinase, which indirectly can affect MYH14's association with actin. By altering the polymerization and stabilization of actin filaments, compounds like Latrunculin A, Jasplakinolide, and Swinholide A can cause changes in cell morphology and motility.
