High-content assay to study protein prenylation.
The mevalonate pathway leads to synthesis of cholesterol and isoprenoid lipids. Prenyltransferases attach the isoprenoid lipids to the C-terminus of several small guanosine triphosphate-binding proteins. The prenyl groups are essential for the biological

Investigating the Regulation of Ras Protein Prenylation [PDF]
Ras family small GTPases undergo prenylation for proper localization to the plasma membrane, where they carry out their signaling function. Prevalent mutations in these proteins that render them persistently active have attracted a lot of attention due ...

Structural Basis of Tryptophan Reverse N‑Prenylation Catalyzed by CymD
Indole prenyltransferases catalyze the prenylation of l-tryptophan (l-Trp) and other indoles to produce a diverse set of natural products in bacteria, fungi, and plants, many of which possess useful biological properties.
