DOI: 10.1111/mpp.12838
Abstract: Summary Post‐translational farnesylation can regulate subcellular localization and protein–protein interaction in eukaryotes. The function of farnesylation is not well identified in plant pathogenic fungi, particularly during the process of fungal infection. Here, through functional analyses… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s40478-021-01231-5
Abstract: The pathogenic mechanisms underlying the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remain elusive and to date there are no effective prevention or treatment for AD. Farnesyltransferase (FT) catalyzes a key posttranslational modification process called farnesylation, in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2022.967947
Abstract: Manumycin A is postulated to be a specific inhibitor against the farnesyltransferase (FTase) since this effect has been shown in 1993 for yeast FTase. Since then, plenty of studies investigated Manumycin A in human cells… read more here.
