The cyanoacrylate compound phenamacril (also known as JS399-19) is a recently identified fungicide that exerts its antifungal effect on susceptible Fusarium species by inhibiting the ATPase activity of their myosin class I motor domains. Although much is known about the antifungal spectrum of phenamacril, the exact mechanism behind the phenamacril-mediated inhibition remains to be resolved. Here, we describe the characterization of the effect of phenamacril on purified myosin motor constructs from the model plant pathogen and phenamacril-susceptible species Fusarium graminearum, phenamacril-resistant Fusarium species, and the mycetozoan model organism Dictyostelium discoideum. Our results show that phenamacril potently (IC50 similar to 360 nm), reversibly, and noncompetitively inhibits ATP turnover, actin binding during ATP turnover, and motor activity of F. graminearum myosin-1. Phenamacril also inhibits the ATPase activity of Fusarium avenaceum myosin-1 but has little or no inhibitory effect on the motor activity of Fusarium solani myosin-1, human myosin-1c, and D. discoideum myosin isoforms 1B, 1E, and 2. Our findings indicate that phenamacril is a species-specific, noncompetitive inhibitor of class I myosin in susceptible Fusarium sp.
