PROTEIN FARNESYLTRANSFERASE COMPLEXED WITH FARNESYLATED K-RAS4B PEPTIDE PRODUCT AND FARNESYL DIPHOSPHATE SUBSTRATE BOUND SIMULTANEOUSLY
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 12374986
Function
[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). [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.
