Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 2.75Å Ligands: GBO, ZN Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT 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). Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMed Protein prenylation is a widespread phenomenon in eukaryotic cells that affects many important signaling molecules. We describe the structure-guided design of engineered protein prenyltransferases and their universal synthetic substrate, biotin-geranylpyrophosphate. These new tools allowed us to detect femtomolar amounts of prenylatable proteins in cells and organs and to identify their cognate protein prenyltransferases. Using this approach, we analyzed the in vivo effects of protein prenyltransferase inhibitors. Whereas some of the inhibitors displayed the expected activities, others lacked in vivo activity or targeted a broader spectrum of prenyltransferases than previously believed. To quantitate the in vivo effect of the prenylation inhibitors, we profiled biotin-geranyl-tagged RabGTPases across the proteome by mass spectrometry. We also demonstrate that sites of active vesicular transport carry most of the RabGTPases. This approach enables a quantitative proteome-wide analysis of the regulation of protein prenylation and its modulation by therapeutic agents.
