Zebrafish Prickle1b mediates facial branchiomotor neuron migration via a farnesylation-dependent nuclear activity [PDF]
The facial branchiomotor neurons (FBMNs) undergo a characteristic tangential migration in the vertebrate hindbrain. We previously used a morpholino knockdown approach to reveal that zebrafish prickle1b (pk1b) is required for this migration.

Purine Nucleotide Availability Regulates mTORC1 Activity through the Rheb GTPase
Pharmacologic agents that interfere with nucleotide metabolism constitute an important class of anticancer agents. Recent studies have demonstrated that mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) inhibitors suppress de novo biosynthesis of pyrimidine and purine nucleotides.

Protein farnesylation in plants--conserved mechanisms but different targets.
Protein farnesylation has an important role in the regulation of plant development and signal transduction, but the exact function of this modification is not well understood.

Lamin A-linked progerias: is farnesylation the be all and end all? [PDF]
The Publisher's final version can be found by following the DOI link.HGPS (Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome) is a severe childhood disorder that appears to mimic an accelerated aging process. The disease is most commonly caused by gene mutations that

A modular farnesyltransferase‐based chemoenzymatic platform enables fast, site‐specific labeling of nanobodies for PET imaging of inflammation. CD11b‐targeted PET agents selectively image myeloid‐driven inflammation, while CD45‐targeted PET agents provide sensitive whole‐body immune mapping.

Autophagic Removal of Farnesylated Carboxy-Terminal Lamin Peptides
The mammalian nuclear lamina proteins—prelamin A- and B-type lamins—are post-translationally modified by farnesylation, endoproteolysis, and carboxymethylation at a carboxy-terminal CAAX (C, cysteine; a, aliphatic amino acid; X, any amino ...
