Prenylated Rab Acceptor Protein Is a Receptor for Prenylated Small GTPases [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2001
Localization of Ras and Ras-like proteins to the correct subcellular compartment is essential for these proteins to mediate their biological effects. Many members of the Ras superfamily (Ha-Ras, N-Ras, TC21, and RhoA) are prenylated in the cytoplasm and then transit through the endomembrane system on their way to the plasma membrane.

Enzymatic Prenylation of Proteins and Peptides: From Cysteine S‐Prenylation to Tryptophan‐Selective Biocatalysis

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
This review highlights biocatalytic prenylation as a versatile strategy for tailoring the functional properties of peptides and proteins. By comparing branched isoprenoids with linear lipids, we illustrate how specific prenyl architectures modulate the behaviors of lipidated proteins within membrane environments.

Calcitox-aging counterbalanced by endogenous farnesol-like sesquiterpenoids: An undervalued evolutionarily ancient key signaling pathway

Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2017
Cells are powerful miniature electrophoresis chambers, at least during part of their life cycle. They die at the moment the voltage gradient over their plasma membrane, and their ability to drive a self-generated electric current carried by inorganic ...

HDV can constrain HBV genetic evolution in hbsag: Implications for the identification of innovative pharmacological targets [PDF]

, 2018
Chronic HBV + HDV infection is associated with greater risk of liver fibrosis, earlier hepatic decompensation, and liver cirrhosis hepatocellular carcinoma compared to HBV mono-infection.

Denosumab Offers Relatively Lower Initial Protection Against Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures in Treatment‐Naive Patients Compared With Zoledronate

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
We compared the initial efficacy of denosumab (Dmab) and zoledronate (ZOL) in treatment‐naive patients with osteoporosis. This cohort study, based on TriNetX data, evaluated the risks of fractures and mortality using Kaplan–Meier survival analyses, with hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Differential requirements of protein geranylgeranylation for the virulence of human pathogenic fungi

Virulence, 2019
Protein prenylation is a crucial post-translational modification largely mediated by two heterodimeric enzyme complexes, farnesyltransferase and geranylgeranyltransferase type-I (GGTase-I), each composed of a shared α-subunit and a unique β-subunit ...

Group IVC cytosolic phospholipase A2γ is farnesylated and palmitoylated in mammalian cells

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
Cytosolic phospholipase A2γ (cPLA2γ) is a member of the group IV family of intracellular phospholipase A2 enzymes, but unlike the well-studied cPLA2α, it is constitutively bound to membrane and is calcium independent.

Cascade metathesis reactions for the synthesis of taxane and isotaxane derivatives [PDF]

, 2016
Tricyclic isotaxane and taxane derivatives and have been synthesized by a very efficient cascade ring-closing dienyne metathesis (RCDEYM) reaction, which formed the A and B rings in one operation.

Discontinuing Long‐Term Denosumab in Treating Fragile Bone: Why, for Whom, and How?

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Discontinuation of denosumab (Dmab) may be necessary due to adverse events or an unfavorable long‐term risk–benefit profile. However, accumulating evidence demonstrates pronounced rebound phenomena after withdrawal, most notably a marked increase in multiple vertebral fractures, and, in some reports, elevated mortality.
