Prenyl-binding domains: potential targets for Ras inhibitors and anti-cancer drugs

Ras and Rho GTPases are prominent participants in malignant transformation. They possess an essential prenyl group (farnesyl or geranylgeranyl) that endows them with membrane-tethering ability and functional specificity. Accumulating evidence suggests that prenyl groups are involved primarily in lip...

description Ras and Rho GTPases are prominent participants in malignant transformation. They possess an essential prenyl group (farnesyl or geranylgeranyl) that endows them with membrane-tethering ability and functional specificity. Accumulating evidence suggests that prenyl groups are involved primarily in lipid−protein interactions, and recent experiments point to prenyl-binding hydrophobic pockets in proteins regulating Ras and Rho in normal cells and cancer cells. This review presents the evidence for such prenyl-binding domains as significant players in the control of Ras-like GTPases, and the emerging concept of prenyl-binding domains as potential targets for Ras inhibitors and anti-cancer drugs.
