Chaetomellic acids A and B, isolated from Chaetomella acutiseta, are specific inhibitors of farnesyl-protein transferase that do not inhibit geranylgeranyl transferase type 1 or squalene synthase. Chaetomellic acids A and B are reversible inhibitors, resemble farnesyl diphosphate and probably inhibit FPTase by substituting for farnesyl diphosphate. Chaetomellic acid production appears to be widespread within the genus Chaetomella.
从尖锐毛壳菌中分离得到的毛壳菌素A和B是法尼基蛋白转移酶的特异性抑制剂,它们不抑制1型香叶基香叶基转移酶或角鲨烯合酶。毛壳菌素A和B是可逆抑制剂,类似于法尼基二磷酸,可能通过取代法尼基二磷酸来抑制法尼基蛋白转移酶。毛壳菌素的产生似乎在毛壳菌属中广泛存在。
