title: Role of isoprenoid metabolism in chemotactic peptide receptor-mediated G protein activation.
abstract: The role of isoprenylation in formyl peptide receptor-mediated G protein activation was studied using plasma membranes isolated from normal HL-60 granulocytes and from cells in which isoprenylation was inhibited with mevastatin. Plasma membrane expression of formyl peptide receptors and G protein beta subunits, but not alpha i2 and alpha i3, was significantly reduced by inhibition of isoprenylation. This reduced expression resulted in impaired basal and fMet-Leu-Phe-stimulated G protein activation.
