GENE - TERM ANNOTATION REPORT

RGD ID: 2625
Species: Rattus norvegicus
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: Fnta
Name: farnesyltransferase, CAAX box, subunit alpha
Acc ID: GO:0004662
Term: CAAX-protein geranylgeranyltransferase activity
Definition: Catalysis of the reaction: geranylgeranyl diphosphate + protein-cysteine = S-geranylgeranyl-protein + diphosphate. This reaction is the formation of a thioether linkage between the C-1 atom of the geranylgeranyl group and a cysteine residue fourth from the C-terminus of the protein. The protein substrates have the C-terminal sequence CA1A2X, where the terminal residue, X, is preferably leucine and A2 should not be aromatic. Known substrates include most g-subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins and Ras-related GTPases such as members of the Ras and Rac/Rho families.
Definition Source(s): EC:2.5.1.59, PMID:8621375
Note: Use of the qualifier "multiple interactions" designates that the annotated interaction is comprised of a complex set of reactions and/or regulatory events, possibly involving additional chemicals and/or gene products.
