G protein beta gamma subunits synthesized in Sf9 cells. Functional characterization and the significance of prenylation of gamma [PDF]
Heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G proteins) consist of a nucleotide-binding alpha subunit and a high- affinity complex of beta and gamma subunits.

Zoledronic acid treatment impairs protein geranyl-geranylation for biological effects in prostatic cells [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (N-BPs) have been designed to inhibit osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. However, it is now accepted that part of their anti-tumor activities is related to interference with the mevalonate pathway ...

ABSTRACT Background Statins are widely prescribed to reduce low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol to decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, there are ongoing concerns surrounding the frequently reported skeletal muscle side effects. These include muscle pain, weakness and reduced function and are defined as statin‐associated muscle ...

The effector domain of Rab6, plus a highly hydrophobic C terminus, is required for Golgi apparatus localization [PDF]
C-terminal lipid modifications are essential for the interaction of Ras-related proteins with membranes. While all Ras proteins are farnesylated and some palmitoylated, the majority of other Ras-related proteins are geranylgeranylated.

Is a gene-centric human proteome project the best way for proteomics to serve biology? [PDF]
With the recent developments in proteomic technologies, a complete human proteome project (HPP) appears feasible for the first time. However, there is still debate as to how it should be designed and what it should encompass.

Highly efficient synthesis of the tricyclic core of Taxol by cascade metathesis [PDF]
An efficient enantioselective synthesis of the ABC tricyclic core of the anticancer drug Taxol is reported. The key step of this synthesis is a cascade metathesis reaction, which leads in one operation to the required tricycle if appropriate fine-tuning ...

Statins and nitrogenous bisphosphonates (NBP) inhibit 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme-A reductase (HMGCR) and farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FDPS), respectively, leading to depletion of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) and disruption of protein prenylation.

Fats and function:protein lipid modifications in plant cell signalling [PDF]
The post-translational lipid modifications N-myristoylation, prenylation and S-acylation are traditionally associated with increasing protein membrane affinity.
