additional information | FTase-I can transfer isoprenoids to intracellular proteins that contain CAAX motifs. The isoprenoid groups can be selectively recognized by GGTase-I. The 15-carbon isoprenoid geranylgeranyl from its donor farnesyldiphosphate (FPP) is specific to FTase-I. Residues Lysalpha164, Hisbeta248, Argbeta291 and Tyrbeta300 in FTase can form hydrogen bonds with farnesyl diphosphate. When FTase is inhibited by a FTI, N-Ras and K-Ras can be alternatively prenylated by GGTase-I, EC 2.5.1.59, but H-Ras cannot | Rattus norvegicus | ? | - |

malfunction | combined FTase/GGTase-I deficiency significantly reduces K-Ras-induced lung tumors and improves survival without obvious pulmonary toxicity | Rattus norvegicus |
malfunction | combined FTase/GGTase-I deficiency significantly reduces K-Ras-induced lung tumors and improves survival without obvious pulmonary toxicity. Enzyme deficiency is involved in progeria, also known as Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, a fatal and rare genetic disease caused by the mutation of the LMNA gene | Homo sapiens |
additional information | FTase and GGTase-I recognize the same CAAX sequence motif in a protein substrate and catalyze the attachment of farnesyl and geranygeranyl groups to the protein, respectively. The X is the key residue that determines the farnesylation or geranylgeranylation of the CAAX-containing protein. When X is serine, methionine or glutamine the protein substrate is preferentially activated by FTase, but when X is leucine or phenylalanine the protein substrate is preferentially activated by GGTase-I | Rattus norvegicus |

physiological function | FTase catalyzes farnesyl isoprenoid linked to the cysteine residue of the CAAX protein through a thioether linkage, which will enhance the hydrophobicity of the CAAX protein. Meanwhile, the formed CAAX-protein-isoprenoid complex is attached to the endoplasmic reticulum surface | Rattus norvegicus |

Meanwhile, the formed CAAX-protein-isoprenoid complex is attached to the endoplasmic reticulum surface. FTase is involvedin hematologic malignancies due via prenylation of Ras. The enzyme is also important in the pathological process of neurological diseases, such as neuroinflammatory disease and Parkinson's disease | Homo sapiens |
