NCGC00249987 inhibits Eya2 ED (C-terminal Eya Domain). NCGC00249987 inhibits full length Eya2 including but not other Eya family members.
NCGC00249987 binding leads to a conformational change of the active site that is unfavorable for Mg binding, thereby inhibiting Eya2’s Tyr phosphatase activity.
NCGC00249987 (5, 10 μM) treatment effectively suppresses migration, invadopodia formation and invasion in Eya2 WT expressing Calu-6 cells, but not in EV Calu-6 cells. NCGC00249987 does not inhibit cell growth or survival.
