The results of this study show that activation in Ras signaling cascade may be implicated in the METH-induced death signaling pathway in neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells.
Title: Farnesyltransferase inhibitor attenuates methamphetamine toxicity-induced Ras proteins activation and cell death in neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells.

Data show that protein farnesyltransferase (FTase) specificity can be "tuned" using a small number of active site contacts that play essential roles in discriminating against non-substrates in the wild-type enzyme.
Title: Expansion of protein farnesyltransferase specificity using "tunable" active site interactions: development of bioengineered prenylation pathways.

The level of FTase mRNA expression in cancer tissues is much higher than in normal tissues. FTase may play an important role in the genesis and development of PLC and may be one of the markers for the metastatic activity gained by liver tumor cells.
