Application

Trans, trans-Farnesyl monophosphate (FMP) may be used in studies of potential endogenous modulators of nuclear lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptors and in the active site analysis of protein farnesyltransferase(s). Trans,trans-Farnesyl monophosphate may also be used to identify and characterize farnesyl monophosphate kinases.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Farnesyl monophosphate is a metabolite in terpenoid backbone biosynthesis. It was shown to activate PPARalpha and PPARbeta/delta reporter gene expression, indicating new potential roles for the oligoprenyl phosphates as potential endogenous modulators of LPA targets.

Protein farnesyltransferase catalyzes the posttranslational farnesylation of several proteins involved in signal transduction, including Ras, and is a target enzyme for antitumor therapies. Efficient product formation catalyzed by protein farnesyltransferase requires an enzyme-bound zinc cation and high concentrations of magnesium

Oligoprenyl phosphates are key metabolic intermediates for the biosynthesis of steroids, the side chain of ubiquinones, and dolichols and the posttranslational isoprenylation of proteins. Farnesyl phosphates are isoprenoid phosphates that resemble polyunsaturated fatty alcohol phosphates, which we have recently shown

As farnesol may serve as a nonsterol endogenous regulator of the mevalonate pathway, the possibility that a kinase specific for its phosphorylation is present in the rat liver was investigated. In the 10,000 g supernatant of rat liver, farnesyl monophosphate

The ability of Nicotiana tabacum cell cultures to utilize farnesol (F-OH) for sterol and sesquiterpene biosynthesis was investigated. [(3)H]F-OH was readily incorporated into sterols by rapidly growing cell cultures. However, the incorporation rate into sterols was reduced by greater than

The zinc metalloenzyme protein farnesyltransferase (FTase) catalyzes the transfer of a 15-carbon farnesyl moiety from farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) to a cysteine residue near the C-terminus of a protein substrate. Several crystal structures of inactive FTase.FPP.peptide complexes indicate that K164alpha interacts
