2 Figure 1 Regulation of GTPase Trafficking by PDEδ
Ras family G-proteins such as Rheb (orange) bind to PDEδ using a farnesylated cysteine residue at the C terminus that is shown in ball and stick representation (left). The lipid molecule is buried deep within the core of the β sandwich of PDEδ. Zimmermann and coworkers have developed benzimidazole-based compounds that disrupt the interaction between PDEδ and K-Ras by binding in the cavity of PDEδ (right). These molecules prevent proper cellular localization of K-Ras and inhibit signaling. Cell  , DOI: ( /j.cell ) Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
