Protein Prenylation Constitutes an Endogenous Brake on Axonal Growth.
Suboptimal axonal regeneration contributes to the consequences of nervous system trauma and neurodegenerative disease, but the intrinsic mechanisms that regulate axon growth remain unclear. We screened 50,400 small molecules for their ability to promote axon outgrowth on inhibitory substrata. The most potent hits were the statins, which stimulated growth of all mouse- and human-patient-derived ...
متن کاملAn Axonal Growth Pathway Requires an Alzheimer's Protein
The brain of a patient with Alzheimer’s disease is clogged with plaques—clumps of protein whose main constituent is a small polypeptide called amyloid-beta, or a-beta. A-beta is cleaved from a larger protein called amyloid precursor protein (APP). A drug to clear a-beta remains at the top of the (unfulfilled) wish list for the disease, but it remains unclear whether the clumps are the cause or ...
متن کاملBiochemistry of protein prenylation.
Covalent modification by isoprenoid lipids (prenylation) is now recognized as a mechanism to promote membrane interactions and biological activities of a variety of cellular proteins. Both the 15-carbon farnesyl and 20-carbon geranylgeranyl isoprenoids are involved in these modifications, which occur on carboxyl-terminal cysteine residues of proteins (Fig. 1). Known prenylated proteins include ...

The integrated stress response is able to rapidly shut down the synthesis of proteins in eukaryotic cells.
متن کاملProtein prenylation in spinach chloroplasts.
Protein prenylation in plants was studied by in vivo metabolic (3)H-mevalonate labeling in combination with a range of protein synthesis inhibitors. In spinach cotyledons, this posttranslational protein modification was found to be divided into two categories, one representing the conventional prenylation involving farnesyl and geranylgeranyl groups bound to cysteine residues via thioether link...
