Type: | Family | Name: | Uncharacterised conserved protein UCP016175, prenyltransferase beta-subunit-related |
Description: | There is currently no experimental data for members of this group. However, they are distantly related to the beta subunits of protein prenyltransferases--protein farnesyltransferase (FTase) and protein geranylgeranyl transferase type II (GGTase-II). Protein prenyltransferases catalyse the posttranslational modification of cysteines by isoprenoid hydrocarbon chains []. The binding sites for both peptide and isoprenoid substrates reside primarily on the beta subunit of these enzymes []. | Short Name: | UCP016175_prenyltrans-rel |
