Farnesyl protein transferase inhibitors as potential cancer chemopreventives.
Among the most important targets for chemopreventive intervention and drug development are deregulated signal transduction pathways. Ras proteins serve as central connectors between signals generated at the plasma membrane and nuclear effectors; thus, disrupting the Ras signaling pathway could have significant potential as a cancer chemopreventive strategy. Target organs for Ras-based chemoprev...
متن کاملChemical genetics identifies Rab geranylgeranyl transferase as an apoptotic target of farnesyl transferase inhibitors.
A chemical genetics approach identified a cellular target of several proapoptotic farnesyl transferase inhibitors (FTIs). Treatment with these FTIs caused p53-independent apoptosis in Caenorhabditis elegans, which was mimicked by knockdown of endosomal trafficking proteins, including Rab5, Rab7, the HOPS complex, and notably the enzyme Rab geranylgeranyl transferase (RabGGT). These FTIs were fo...
متن کاملInhibition of farnesyl-protein transferase by gliotoxin and acetylgliotoxin.
Ras p21 proteins have been shown to be posttranslationally farnesylated on a specific carboxyterminal cysteine1 ^. Inhibition of this isoprenylation would alter membrane localization and activation of ras oncogene40. Therefore during our screening for farnesyl-protein transferase (FTase) inhibitors of microbial origin we have isolated gliotoxin (GT) and acetylgliotoxin (AGT) from the fermentati...

Working together: Farnesyl transferase inhibitors and statins block protein prenylation.
Farnesyl transferase inhibitors (FTIs) have so far proved to have limited value as single agents in clinical trials. This PharmSight will focus on the use of a novel group of FTIs that are most effective in vitro when used in combination with the "statin" class of anti-hypercholesterolemic agents, which also block protein prenylation. We recently showed that these novel FTIs in combination with...
