Spautin-1

A specific and potent autophagy inhibitor. Spautin-1 promotes the degradation of Vps34 PI3 kinase complexes by inhibiting two ubiquitin-specific proteases USP10 and USP13 which target the Beclin-1 subunit of Vps34 complexes1. Deranges dengue virion maturation2. Inhibits autophagy in a Beclin-1 independent manner in primary epithelial ovarian cancer cells3. Selectively induces cell death of mutant p53-expressing cancer cell lines under confluency4. Cell permeable.
