Targeting protein prenylation for cancer therapy [PDF]
Nature Reviews Cancer, 2011 Protein farnesylation and geranylgeranylation, together referred to as prenylation, are lipid post-translational modifications that are required for the transforming activity of many oncogenic proteins, including some RAS family members. This observation prompted the development of inhibitors of farnesyltransferase (FT) and geranylgeranyl-transferase 1

CD36‐mediated lipid rewiring in the metabolic adaptation of tumour ecosystems
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Nutrient deprivation drives a lipid‐centric shift in tumour metabolic symbiosis and signalling network. CD36 functions as a bidirectional bridge, transferring fatty acids from stromal donors (adipocytes, CAFs) to the ecosystem tumour‐ and microenvironment‐dependently.

PDE6D Mediates Trafficking of Prenylated Proteins NIM1K and UBL3 to Primary Cilia
Cells, 2023 Mutations in PDE6D impair the function of its cognate protein, phosphodiesterase 6D (PDE6D), in prenylated protein trafficking towards the ciliary membrane, causing the human ciliopathy Joubert Syndrome (JBTS22) and retinal degeneration in mice.

Oral Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Osteonecrosis of the jaws is associated with various drugs, including antiresorptives such as bisphosphonates and denosumab, as well as antiangiogenics. These drugs are used for the treatment of multiple diseases, notably osteoporosis, bone metastases, Paget's disease, osteogenesis imperfecta, malignant hypocalcaemia, among others ...

High-content assay to study protein prenylation.
, 2008 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

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract Background/Aim Antiresorptive therapy represents a cornerstone in the management of osteoporosis and cancer‐related bone disease through suppression of osteoclast‐mediated bone resorption. As implant therapy becomes more common in aging populations, clinicians increasingly encounter patients receiving these medications, thus making their ...

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 17, 14 September 2026.Computational studies allowed the identification of a PDE9A inhibitor. A novel HPLC‐based assay was developed and optimized to measure enzyme function to assess PDE9A inhibition. Furthermore, in vitro tests supported the activity of the compound against neuroinflammation. Oxidative stress and inflammation are key players in central nervous system (CNS)
