Abstract:
:Recent genetic investigations have established that RhoB gain-of-function is sufficient to mediate the antitransforming effects of farnesyltransferase inhibitors (FTIs) in H-Ras-transformed fibroblast systems. In this study, we addressed the breadth and mechanism of RhoB action in epithelial cells transformed by oncoproteins which are themselves insensitive to FTI inactivation. Rat intestinal epithelial (RIE) cells transformed by activated K-Ras or Rac1 were highly sensitive to FTI-induced actin reorganization and growth inhibition, despite the inability of FTI to block prenylation of either K-Ras or Rac1. Ectopic expression of the geranylgeranylated RhoB isoform elicited in cells by FTI treatment phenocopied these effects. Analysis of RhoB effector domain mutants pointed to a role for PRK, a Rho effector kinase implicated in the physiological function of RhoB in intracellular receptor trafficking, and these findings were supported further by experiments in a fibroblast system. We propose that FTIs recruit the antioncogenic RhoB protein in the guise of RhoB-GG to interfere with signaling by pro-oncogenic Rho proteins, possibly by sequestering common exchange factors or effectors such as PRK that are important for cell transformation.
