farnesyl diphosphate + protein-cysteine = S-farnesyl protein + diphosphate | enzyme constitutes the protein prenyltransferase family of enzymes | Saccharomyces cerevisiae | |
farnesyl diphosphate + protein-cysteine = S-farnesyl protein + diphosphate | The enzyme preferentially farnesylates CaaX sequences ending in methionine, cysteine or serine. Enzyme also attaches geranylgeraniol to some CaaX sequences ending in methionine, leucine and cysteine. Substrate overlap may occur between the Saccharomyces cerevisae farnesyl transferase and geranylgeranyltransferase types I in vivo | Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
