N-acetyl-S-farnesyl-L-Cysteine is a synthetic substrate for the isoprenylated protein methyltransferase (also known as S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferase). Because it is able to serve as a substrate for the methyltransferase, it effectively functions as an inhibitor of methylation of endogenous isoprenylated proteins.

N-acetyl-S-farnesyl-L-Cysteine suppresses chemokine production by human dermal microvascular endothelial cells
Exp Dermatol 2012 Sep;21(9):700-5.PMID:22897577DOI:10.1111/j.1600-0625.2012.01562.x.
Isoprenylcysteine (IPC) molecules modulate G-protein-coupled receptor signalling. The archetype of this class is N-acetyl-S-farnesyl-L-Cysteine (AFC). Topical application of AFC locally inhibits skin inflammation and elicitation of contact hypersensitivity in vivo. However, the mechanism of these anti-inflammatory effects is not well understood. Dermal microvascular endothelial cells (ECs) are involved in inflammation, in part, by secreting cytokines that recruit inflammatory cells. We have previously shown that the sympathetic nerve cotransmitter adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine-5'-O-(3-thio) triphosphate (ATPγS), an ATP analogue that is resistant to hydrolysis, increase secretion of the chemokines CXCL8 (interleukin-8), CCL2 (monocyte chemotactic protein-1) and CXCL1 (growth-regulated oncogene α) by dermal microvascular ECs. Production of these chemokines can also be induced by the exposure to the proinflammatory cytokine TNFα. We have now demonstrated that AFC dose-dependently inhibits ATP-, ATPγS- and TNFα-induced production of CXCL1, CXCL8 and CCL2 by a human dermal microvascular EC line (HMEC-1) in vitro under conditions that do not affect cell viability. Inhibition of ATPγS- or TNFα-stimulated release of these chemokines was associated with reduced mRNA levels. N-acetyl-S-geranyl-l-cysteine, an IPC analogue that is inactive in inhibiting G-protein-coupled signalling, had greatly reduced ability to suppress stimulated chemokine production. AFC may exert its anti-inflammatory effects through the inhibition of chemokine production by stimulated ECs.
Topical N-acetyl-S-farnesyl-L-Cysteine inhibits mouse skin inflammation, and unlike dexamethasone, its effects are restricted to the application site
J Invest Dermatol 2008 Mar;128(3):643-54.PMID:17882268DOI:10.1038/sj.jid.5701061.
N-acetyl-S-farnesyl-L-Cysteine (AFC), a modulator of G protein and G-protein coupled receptor signaling, inhibits neutrophil chemotaxis and other inflammatory responses in cell-based assays. Here, we show topical AFC inhibits in vivo acute inflammation induced by 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and arachidonic acid using the mouse ear model of inflammation. AFC inhibits edema, as measured by ear weight, and also inhibits neutrophil infiltration as assayed by direct counting in histological sections and by measuring myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity as a neutrophil marker. In addition, AFC inhibits in vivo allergic contact dermatitis in a mouse model utilizing sensitization followed by a subsequent challenge with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene. Unlike the established anti-inflammatories dexamethasone and indomethacin, AFC's action was restricted to the site of application. In this mouse model, both dexamethasone and indomethacin inhibited TPA-induced edema and MPO activity in the vehicle-treated, contralateral ear. AFC showed no contralateral ear inhibition for either of these end points. A marginally significant decrease due to AFC treatment was seen in TPA-induced epidermal hyperplasia at 24 hours. This was much less than the 90% inhibition of neutrophil infiltration, suggesting that AFC does not act by directly inhibiting protein kinase C.
Kinetic mechanism of isoprenylated protein methyltransferase
J Biol Chem 1992 May 15;267(14):9547-51.PMID:1577795doi
The kinetic mechanism of the rod outer segment (ROS) isoprenylated protein methyltransferase was investigated. This S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet)-linked enzyme transfers methyl groups to carboxyl-terminal isoprenylated cysteine residues of proteins, generating methyl esters. The enzyme also processes simple substrates such as N-acetyl-S-farnesyl-L-Cysteine (L-AFC). Initial studies showed that a ping-pong Bi Bi mechanism could be eliminated. In a ping-pong Bi Bi mechanism plots of 1/v versus 1/[substrate A] at different fixed substrate B concentrations are expected to yield a family of parallel lines whose slopes equal Km/Vmax. In fact, converging curves were found, which suggested a sequential mechanism. Dead-end inhibitors were used in order to further investigate the kinetic mechanism. S-Farnesylthioacetic acid is shown to be a dead-end competitive inhibitor with respect to the prenylated substrate L-AFC. On the other hand, S-farnesylthioacetic acid proved to be uncompetitive with respect to AdoMet, suggesting an ordered mechanism with AdoMet binding first. Further evidence for this mechanism came from product inhibition studies using the methyl ester of L-AFC (L-AFCMe) and S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (AdoHcy). Since AdoMet binds first to the enzyme, one of the products (L-AFCMe or AdoHcy) should be a competitive inhibitor with respect to it. It could be shown that AdoHcy is a competitive inhibitor with respect to AdoMet, but L-AFCMe is a mixed-type inhibitor both with respect to AdoMet and to L-AFC. Therefore, AdoHcy combines with the same enzyme form as does AdoMet, and must be released from the enzyme last. Moreover, L-AFC and L-AFCMe must bind to different forms of the enzyme.
Identification of prenylcysteine carboxymethyltransferase in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells
Int J Biochem Cell Biol 2000 Sep;32(9):1007-16.PMID:11084380DOI:10.1016/s1357-2725(00)00036-4.
Chromaffin cells from bovine adrenal medulla were examined for the presence of a specific prenylcysteine carboxymethyltransferase by using N-acetyl-S-farnesyl-L-Cysteine and N-acetyl-S-geranylgeranyl-L-cysteine as artificial substrates and a crude cell homogenate as the enzyme source. From Michaelis-Menten kinetics the following constants were calculated: K(m) 90 microM and V(max) 3 pmol/min per mg proteins for N-acetyl-S-farnesyl-L-Cysteine; K(m) 52 microM and V(max) 3 pmol/min per mg proteins for N-acetyl-S-geranylgeranyl-L-cysteine. Both substrates were methylated to an optimal extent at the pH range 7. 4-8.0. Methylation activity increased linearly up to 20 min incubation time and was dose dependent up to at least 160 microg of protein. Sinefungin and S-adenosylhomocysteine both caused pronounced inhibition, as also to a lesser extent did farnesylthioacetic acid, deoxymethylthioadenosine and 3-deaza-adenosine. Effector studies showed that the methyltransferase activity varied depending on the concentration and chemical nature of the cations present. Monovalent cations were slightly stimulatory, while divalent metallic ions displayed diverging inhibitory effects. The inhibition by cations was validated by the stimulatory effect of the chelators EDTA and EGTA. Sulphydryl reagents inhibited methylation but to different degrees: Hg(2+)-ions: 100%, N-ethylmaleimide: 30%, dithiothreitol: 0% and mono-iodoacetate: 20%. Due to the hydrophobicity of the substrates dimethyl sulfoxide had to be included in the incubation mixture (<4%; still moderate inhibition at more elevated concentrations). The detergents tested affected the methyltransferase activity to a varying degree. The membrane bound character of the methyltransferase was confirmed.
Methylation and demethylation reactions of guanine nucleotide-binding proteins of retinal rod outer segments
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 1991 Apr 15;88(8):3043-6.PMID:1901651DOI:10.1073/pnas.88.8.3043.
Retinal transducin was previously shown to be farnesylated on its gamma subunit. This farnesylation reaction on a cysteine residue near the carboxyl terminus is followed by peptidase cleavage at the cysteine. Thus the modified cysteine becomes the carboxyl terminus. It is shown here that the free carboxyl group can be methylated by an S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyltransferase associated with the rod outer segment membranes. This process can be inhibited by S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine and sinefungin. Moreover, synthetic N-acetyl-S-farnesyl-L-Cysteine, but not N-acetyl-L-cysteine, is a substrate for the enzyme. Rapid demethylation of N-acetyl-S-farnesyl-L-Cysteine methyl ester can be observed in the membranes. Transducin is also enzymatically demethylated by the rod outer segment membranes. Moreover, the 23- to 29-kDa small G proteins are methylated and demethylated in this system. These data suggest that methylation/demethylation may play a regulatory role in visual signal transduction.
