Examining Farnesyltransferase Interaction With Cell-Permeable CaaX Peptides and the Role of the CaaX Motif in Biological Activity. [PDF]

J Pept Sci
This work examines the interaction between farnesyltransferase (FTase) and cell‐permeable CaaX peptides. Particularly, peptide CaaX‐1 is presented as efficient binder to FTase capable to inhibit further interaction of other CaaX motif–bearing peptides. Moreover, biological effects require an intact CaaX motif.

Non-bisphosphonate inhibitors of isoprenoid biosynthesis identified via computer-aided drug design. [PDF]

, 2011
The relaxed complex scheme, a virtual-screening methodology that accounts for protein receptor flexibility, was used to identify a low-micromolar, non-bisphosphonate inhibitor of farnesyl diphosphate synthase.

Raman spectroscopy biochemical characterisation of bladder cancer cisplatin resistance regulated by FDFT1: a review

Cellular & Molecular Biology Letters, 2022
Bladder cancer is the fourth most common malignancy in males. It can present across the whole continuum of severity, from mild through well-differentiated disease to extremely malignant tumours with poor survival rates.

Isoprenoids increase bovine endometrial stromal cell tolerance to the cholesterol-dependent cytolysin from Trueperella pyogenes† [PDF]

, 2018
Preventing postpartum uterine disease depends on the ability of endometrial cells to tolerate the presence of the bacteria that invade the uterus after parturition.

Inhibition of the mevalonate pathway augments the activity of pitavastatin against ovarian cancer cells [PDF]

, 2017
Only 40% of patients with advanced ovarian cancer survive more than 5 years. We have previously shown that pitavastatin induces regression of ovarian cancer xenografts in mice.

Genomic alterations in primary gastric adenocarcinomas correlate with clinicopathological characteristics and survival. [PDF]

, 2004
Background & aimsPathogenesis of gastric cancer is driven by an accumulation of genetic changes that to a large extent occur at the chromosomal level. In order to investigate the patterns of chromosomal aberrations in gastric carcinomas, we performed

Hepatitis C virus genotypes 1–3 infections regulate lipogenic signaling and suppress cholesterol biosynthesis in hepatocytes

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2020
Background: Patients with different hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype infections are associated with varying metabolic disorders. Although alteration of lipid metabolism has been confirmed as a virus-induced metabolic derangement in chronic hepatitis C ...
