Journal Article

Dominant inhibitory Ras mutants demonstrate the requirement for Ras activity in the action of tyrosine kinase oncogenes.

TL;DR: Results with all three reagents clearly indicate that cellular Ras activity is required in the late G1 phase of the cell cycle and is essential for the maintenance of the transformed phenotype induced by tyrosine but not serine kinase oncogenes.
Journal ArticleDOI

cDNA cloning and expression of rat and human protein geranylgeranyltransferase type-I.

TL;DR: Amo acid sequence comparison suggests that the protein encoded by the Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene CDC43 is the yeast counterpart of the mammalian GGTase-I beta subunit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation and structure of chaetomellic acids A and B from Chaetomella acutiseta: farnesyl pyrophosphate mimic inhibitors of ras farnesyl-protein transferase

TL;DR: Two novel dicarboxylic acids, named chaetomellic acids from Chaetomella acutiseta, are isolated as potent and selective inhibitors which appear to be the first examples of nonphosphorous containing FPP mimics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isoprenoid diphosphate utilization by recombinant human farnesyl:protein transferase: interactive binding between substrates and a preferred kinetic pathway.

TL;DR: Isotope partitioning studies showed that, at high concentrations of Ras-CVIM, more than 80% of the bound farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) can be trapped as product, suggesting that the binary complex is catalytically competent and that the ternary complex proceeds to product faster than it releases FPP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Farnesyltransferase inhibitors versus Ras inhibitors

TL;DR: It now seems likely that the ability of FPTase inhibitors to reverse the malignant phenotype results, at least in part, from inhibiting the farnesylation of proteins other than Ras.
