RPGR, a prenylated retinal ciliopathy protein, is targeted to cilia in a prenylation- and PDE6D-dependent manner

Biology Open, 2016
RPGR (retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator) is a ciliary protein associated with several forms of inherited retinal degenerative diseases. PDE6D is a ubiquitously expressed prenyl-binding protein and involved in ciliary targeting of prenylated proteins.

Isoprenoids determine Th1/Th2 fate in pathogenic T cells, providing a mechanism of modulation of autoimmunity by atorvastatin. [PDF]

, 2006
3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase is a critical enzyme in the mevalonate pathway that regulates the biosynthesis of cholesterol as well as isoprenoids that mediate the membrane association of certain GTPases.

GRKs and arrestins: Nomenclature and functions in GPCR‐dependent and ‐independent signalling

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 11, Page 2619-2633, June 2026.
G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) kinases (GRKs) and arrestins play a critical role in the regulation of GPCR signalling. Historic names of mammalian GRKs were replaced by systematic ones in the 1990s; however, both kinds of names are currently in use for mammalian arrestins.

Computational Design of an mRNA Vaccine Targeting LRP6 for Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer Therapy

Cancer Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) presents a poorer prognosis than other breast cancer subtypes, attributed to its aggressive nature and the lack of specific therapeutic interventions. TNBC has high recurrence rates and limited survival despite current therapies, emphasizing the critical need for improved treatment options.

Investigation of LKB1 Ser⁴³¹ phosphorylation and Cys⁴³³ farnesylation using mouse knockin analysis reveals an unexpected role of prenylation in regulating AMPK activity [PDF]

, 2014
The LKB1 tumour suppressor protein kinase functions to activate two isoforms of AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) and 12 members of the AMPK-related family of protein kinases. The highly conserved C-terminal residues of LKB1 are phosphorylated (Ser(431)
