Farnesylthioacetic acid

Overview

Farnesylthioacetic acid is a competitive, non-substrate inhibitor of Prenylcysteine α-carboxyl methyltransferase . It acts as a non-substrate competitive inhibitor of Arabidopsis thaliana Prenylcysteine α-carboxyl methyltransferase and blocks methyltransferase activity. Farnesylthioacetic acid does not inhibit protein farnesyltransferase activity in Arabidopsis . It induces Apoptosis . Farnesylthioacetic acid regulates the subcellular localization of Ras protein, reducing the proportion of cytoplasmic Ras protein without disrupting membrane binding. It enhances ABA-induced seed dormancy, delays seed germination, and promotes maximum stomatal closure at lower exogenous ABA concentrations. Farnesylthioacetic acid can be used in studies related to promyelocytic leukemia.
