Abstract excerpt
Posttranslational processing of Ras proteins has attracted considerable interest as a potential target for anticancer drug discovery. Rce1 encodes an endoprotease that facilitates membrane targeting of Ras and other prenylated proteins by releasing the carboxyl-terminal 3 amino acids (ie, the -AAX of the CAAX motif). Homozygous Rce1 mutant embryos (Rce1(-/-)) die late in gestation. To characterize the role of...
