Didehydrofarnesyl diphosphate: an intrinsically fluorescent inhibitor of protein farnesyltransferase
摘要:
Didehydrofarnesyl diphosphate (DeltaDeltaFPP), a fluorescent pentaene analogue of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP), was synthesized using stereoselective Wittig reactions. Although DeltaDeltaFPP was not an alternative substrate for yeast protein farnesyltransferase (FTase), the fluorescent analogue was a potent competitive inhibitor with a K-i value of 8.8 muM (K-m (FPP) = 27 muM).
