TAME inhibits cyclin proteolysis in mitotic Xenopus egg extract with IC50 of 12 uM. TAME at concentration of 1-200 uM arrests interphase extract treated with recombinant cyclin B1/Cdc2 complex in mitosis, with stable cyclin B1 and phosphorylated Cdc27. TAME accelerates the ATP hydrolysis process about 12-fold. TAME interacts with beta and gamma phosphate and the adenine ring of ATP by the guanidinium group and the aromatic ring.
