Phosphatase of regenerating liver-3 localizes to cyto-membrane and is required for B16F1 melanoma cell metastasis in vitro and in vivo. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND: Phosphatase of regenerating liver-3 (PRL-3) is a member of the novel phosphatases of regenerating liver family, characterized by one protein tyrosine phosphatase active domain and a C-terminal prenylation (CCVM) motif.

Increased RhoA prenylation in the loechrig (loe) mutant leads to progressive neurodegeneration. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The Drosophila mutant loechrig (loe) shows age-dependent degeneration of the nervous system and is caused by the loss of a neuronal isoform of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) γ-subunit (also known as SNF4Aγ).

CRISPR and Gene Augmentation Rescue Trabecular Meshwork Dysfunction in iPSC Models of Lowe Syndrome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By modeling Lowe syndrome using patient‐derived iPSCs, this study establishes a human disease model that faithfully recapitulates OCRL deficiency‐associated ciliary and cytoskeletal defects. The model enables evaluation of both mutation‐agnostic DNA augmentation and CRISPR‐mediated mutation correction strategies, both of which restore OCRL function and

Membrane lipid metabolism as a regulatory frontier in neural crest biology: Roles for sphingolipids, cholesterol, and lipid rafts

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are multipotent, migratory stem‐like cells essential for vertebrate development that contribute broadly to many tissues including the craniofacial skeleton, peripheral nervous system, and pigment‐producing cells. Their development progresses through phases of induction, specification, delamination, migration, and ...

Profiling protein prenylation using a quantitative chemical proteomics approach [PDF]

, 2017
Prenylation, the attachment of a farnesyl or geranylgeranyl isoprenoid to a C-terminal cysteine, is a post-translational modification which modulates localisation and function of key proteins such as members of the RAS superfamily, nuclear lamins and ...

Characterization of prenylated protein methyltransferase in Leishmania [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1999
Prenylated protein methyltransferase, an enzyme involved in the post-translational modification of many signalling proteins, has been characterized in a parasitic flagellated protozoan, Leishmania donovani. The activity of this enzyme was monitored by the methylation of an artificial substrate, an S-prenylated cysteine analogue, with S-adenosyl-L ...

Advances in protein–polyphenol complexation: Unraveling mechanisms, modulation, and functional outcomes

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Polyphenolic compounds have attracted increasing market demand and extensive attention due to their potential health benefits and bioactivities. Meanwhile, proteins are widely used in the food industry for their nutritional and functional properties. However, the application of proteins in the food industry is often limited by challenges, such

Metabolic Stress Induces Caspase-3 Mediated Degradation and Inactivation of Farnesyl and Geranylgeranyl Transferase Activities in Pancreatic β-Cells

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2016
Background/Aims: At least 300 prenylated proteins are identified in the human genome; the majority of which partake in a variety of cellular processes including growth, differentiation, cytoskeletal organization/dynamics and vesicle trafficking. Aberrant

The tryptophan prenyltransferase ComQ from Bacillus subtilis 168 can prenylate daptomycin at Trp1

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
ComQ168 from Bacillus subtilis 168 catalyzes C‐terminal tryptophan farnesylation of ComX to generate a competence‐inducing pheromone. Recombinant ComQ168 also modifies cyclic peptides, including Daptomycin, likely at the N‐terminal tryptophan. Structural modeling highlights a C‐terminal binding region, supporting substrate promiscuity and establishing ...
