Application

Farnesyl pyrophosphate ammonium salt has been used:

as a prenylation agonist in human osteogenic sarcoma cells in collagen-based cell invasion assays
in the prenylation of the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)
as a substrate in prenyltransferases assay in diatom Haslea ostrearia

Biochem/physiol Actions

Farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) is the precursor for the biosynthesis of cholesterol, ubiquinone and dolicol. It is part of the intracellular mevalonate pathway. FPP is essential for cell survival and is used for prenylation of several low molecular mass G proteins, including Ras. Inhibition of prenylation results in loss of oncogenic potential of Ras proteins. Inhibition of prenylation may serve as therapeutic potential for management of synaptic plasticity and Alzheimer′s disease.

General description

Farnesyl pyrophosphate is a 15-carbon isoprenoid synthesized from geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP) by the action of enzyme farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPPS).

Improved herbivore resistance in cultivated tomato with the sesquiterpene biosynthetic pathway from a wild relative.

Petra M Bleeker et al.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 109(49), 20124-20129 (2012-11-22)

Tomato breeding has been tremendously efficient in increasing fruit quality and quantity but did not focus on improving herbivore resistance. The biosynthetic pathway for the production of 7-epizingiberene in a wild tomato was introduced into a cultivated greenhouse variety with

Optimization of continuous purification of recombinant patchoulol synthase from Escherichia coli with membrane adsorbers.

Biotechnology progress, 35(4), e2812-e2812 (2019-04-02)

The natural production of patchouli oil in developing countries cannot meet the increasing demand any more. This leads to socioecological consequences, such as the use of arable land, which is actually intended for food. Hence, the world market price increased

Using Game Theory to Understand Systemic Acquired Resistance as a Bet-Hedging Option for Increasing Fitness When Disease Is Uncertain.

Gregory J Reynolds et al.

Plants (Basel, Switzerland), 8(7) (2019-07-25)

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a mechanism through which plants may respond to initial challenge by a pathogen through activation of inducible defense responses, thereby increasing resistance to subsequent infection attempts. Fitness costs are assumed to be incurred by plants
