Application

Application Comment Organism
biotechnology the enzyme is a target for metabolic engineering of crop species for drought tolerance by targeted alterations in isoprenylcysteine methylation Arabidopsis thaliana

Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
the ICMT isozyme is encoded by the STE14A ICMT gene Arabidopsis thaliana
the ICMT isozyme is encoded by the STE14B ICMT gene Arabidopsis thaliana

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information transgenic plants overproducing ICME exhibit abscisic acid hypersensitivity in stomatal closure and seed germination assays. Induction leads to demethylation and inactivation of isoprenylated negative regulators of abscisic acid signaling Arabidopsis thaliana
