Induction And Regulation Of Autophagy By Novel Prenylation Inhibitors In Sts-26t Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor (mpnst) Cells [PDF]

, 2010
Prenylation pathways have been targeted via several different compounds that inhibit farnesyl transferase (FTase) and/or geranylgeranyl transferase (GGTase) enzymes in many cellular and animal models of cancer.

Molecular Recognition of Substrates by Protein Farnesyltransferase and Geranylgeranyltransferase-I. [PDF]

Prenylation is an important post-translational modification that targets proteins to the cellular membrane. Farnesyltransferase (FTase) catalyzes the attachment of the 15-carbon farnesyl moiety from farnesyldiphosphate to a cysteine near the C-terminus ...

Mechanism of Catalysis and Inhibition of Mammalian Protein Farnesyltransferase. [PDF]

, 2007
Mammalian protein farnesyltransferase (FTase) catalyzes the transfer of a 15-carbon prenyl group from farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) to a cysteine residue near the carboxyl terminus of many proteins, including several key molecules involved in signal ...

Mutant drought phenotype investigation : a look into effects of protein prenylation on water utilization in conditions of varying soil saturation and gene knockout. [PDF]

, 2013
Plants respond to environmental stress, such as drought, with increases in levels of Abscisic Acid (ABA). This stress response allows greater survival rates but results in the plants producing lower seed yield and biomass.
