Protein farnesylation: from molecular mechanisms to therapeutic targeting in cancer, aging, and beyond

Jiacheng Lou, Danlu Zhang, Yingjie Wang

Protein farnesylation, catalyzed by farnesyltransferase (FTase), covalently attaches a 15-carbon farnesyl lipid to cysteine residues within C-terminal CaaX motifs. This modification governs the subcellular localization, protein–protein interactions, and activity of diverse eukaryotic proteins, including Ras GTPases, nuclear lamins, molecular chaperones, and kinetochore components. This review examines FTase enzymology, substrate recognition, and the sequential post-farnesylation processing by RCE1 and ICMT, alongsi …
