Abstract excerpt
Farnesyltransferase inhibitors cause the growth arrest of ras-transformed cells, but not that of normal cells. To elucidate the mechanism of this differential effect, we examined the effect of accumulation of unfarnesylated Ras in the cytosol by using RasG12V,C186S and RasC186S, which mimic unfarnesylated form of the oncogenic and the normal Ras, respectively. We found that RasG12,C186S inhibited activation and...
