Cell Growth Inhibition by Farnesyltransferase Inhibitors Is Mediated by Gain of Geranylgeranylated RhoB
1 Mar 1999
Abstract excerpt
Recent results have shown that the ability of farnesyltransferase inhibitors (FTIs) to inhibit malignant cell transformation and Ras prenylation can be separated. We proposed previously that farnesylated Rho proteins are important targets for alternation by FTIs, based on studies of RhoB (the FTI-Rho hypothesis). Cells treated with FTIs exhibit a loss of farnesylated RhoB but a gain of geranylgeranylated RhoB...
