epitope corresponding to amino acids 139-331 mapping at the C-terminus of GGTase-IIβ of human origin
Modification Notes
Eukaryotic cells contain three distinct prenyltransferases that catalyze the attachment of a thioether-linked 15-carbon farnesyl group or 20-carbon geranylgeranyl group to C-terminal cysteine residues. Geranylgeranyltransferase type I (GGTase-I, PGGTase-I) catalyzes the nucleophilic substitution reaction between geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) and a protein-derived thiol to form the thioether linkage. The candidate protein contains a C-terminal CAAX motif in which “A” is an aliphatic amino acid and “X” is leucine. Geranylgeranylation is necessary for the TGF∫1 signaling pathway, which involves phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase and a protein kinase C. Human GGTase-I contains an å subunit and a ∫ subunit. Geranylgeranyltransferase type II (GGTase-II) is a heterodimer that catalyzes the transfer of two 20-carbon geranylgeranyl groups from geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate onto C-terminal cysteine residues of Rab GTPases, which is required for the activity of Rab proteins. GGTase-II also contains an å subunit and a ∫ subunit.
