PURPOSE Inhibitors of protein prenylation, including prenyltransferase inhibitors and aminobisphosphonates such as zoledronic acid, are being investigated intensively as therapeutics in cancer and other diseases. Determining whether prenylation inhibitors directly or indirectly target tumor and/or host cells is key to understanding therapeutic mechanisms. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN To determine whic...
Introduction Covalent attachment of isoprenoid lipids is now recognized as an important modification of many proteins involved in cellular signalling [ 1,2]. This type of modification, termed prenylation, involves attachment of either the 15-carbon farnesyl or 20carbon geranylgeranyl isoprenoid to C-terminal cysteine residues of proteins. Known prenylated proteins include a number of GTP-bindin...
In a facile and potentially general method for protein modification at the C-terminus, aldehyde-modified proteins, obtained from enzymatic protein prenylation, react rapidly with hydrazide and aminooxy surfaces and fluorophores at neutral pH and in micromolar concentration ranges of reagents. This strategy was used for fluorescent labeling of eGFP-CVIA, as a model protein, with aminooxy and hyd...
Farnesyl:protein transferase (FPTase) inhibitors (FTIs) were originally developed as potential anticancer agents targeting the ras oncogene and are currently in clinical trials. Whereas FTIs inhibit the farnesylation of Ha-Ras, they do not completely inhibit the prenylation of Ki-Ras, the allele most frequently mutated in human cancers. Whereas farnesylation of Ki-Ras is blocked by FTIs, Ki-Ras...
Prenylation of aromatic secondary metabolites is an important process involved in the biosynthesis of many biologically active compounds in plants and animals. Many prenylated natural products have been shown to exhibit very good anti-tumor, anti inflammatory and antimicrobial activities. The addition of prenyl side chain to an aromatic secondary metabolite often affects its pharmacological act...
Subfractions isolated from intact purified spinach chloroplasts are able to prenylate the aromatic moiety of cY-tocopherol and plastoquinone-9 precursors. The biosynthesis of a-tocopherol and plastoquinone-9 is a compartmentalized process. The chloroplast envelope membranes are the only site of the enzymatic prenylation in a-tocopherol synthesis whereas the thylakoid membrane is also involved i...
