[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/FNTB_RAT FNTB_RAT]] Catalyzes the transfer of a farnesyl moiety from farnesyl pyrophosphate to a cysteine at the fourth position from the C-terminus of several proteins. The beta subunit is responsible for peptide-binding. [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/FNTA_RAT FNTA_RAT]] Catalyzes the transfer of a farnesyl or geranyl-geranyl moiety from farnesyl or geranyl-geranyl pyrophosphate to a cysteine at the fourth position from the C-terminus of several proteins having the C-terminal sequence Cys-aliphatic-aliphatic-X. The alpha subunit is thought to participate in a stable complex with the substrate. The beta subunit binds the peptide substrate. Through RAC1 prenylation and activation may positively regulate neuromuscular junction development downstream of MUSK (By similarity).

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==

The rat protein farnesyltransferase crystal structure has been solved by multiple isomorphous replacement methods at a resolution of 2.75 A. The three-dimensional structure, together with recent data on the effects of several mutations, led us to propose a model for substrate binding which differs from the model presented by Park et al. based on their independent structure determination [Park, H. -W., Boduluri, S. R., Moomaw, J. F., Casey, P. J., and Beese, L. S. (1997) Science 275, 1800-1804]. Both farnesyl diphosphate and peptide substrates can be accommodated in the hydrophobic active-site barrel, with the sole charged residue inside the barrel, Arg202 of the beta-subunit, forming a salt bridge with the negatively charged carboxy terminus of peptide substrates. Our proposals are based in part on the observation of electron density in the active site which can be modeled as bound farnesyl diphosphate carried through the enzyme purification. In addition, our model explains in structural terms the results of mutational studies which have identified several residues critical for substrate specificity and catalysis.
