The C-terminal --COOH of prenylated proteins is methylated to --COOCH3. The --COOCH3 ester forms are hydrolyzed by prenylated methylated protein methyl esterase (PMPMEase) to the original acid forms. This is the only reversible step of the prenylation pathway. PMPMEase has

A novel class of small spirocyclic heterocycles, spiroepoxy-beta-lactones (1,4-dioxaspiro[2.3]-hexan-5-ones), is described that exhibit a number of interesting reactivity patterns. These spiroheterocycles, including an optically active series, are readily synthesized by epoxidation of ketene dimers (4-alkylidene-2-oxetanones) available from homo- or heteroketene
