FunFam 26: FarNesylTransferase, Alpha subunit

Please note: GO annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

There are 4 GO terms relating to "molecular function"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
Protein binding GO:0005515
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules).
2 O44501 (/IPI) O60052 (/IPI)
Protein farnesyltransferase activity GO:0004660
Catalysis of the reaction: farnesyl diphosphate + protein-cysteine = S-farnesyl protein + diphosphate.
1 O60052 (/IDA)
Protein farnesyltransferase activity GO:0004660
Catalysis of the reaction: farnesyl diphosphate + protein-cysteine = S-farnesyl protein + diphosphate.
1 O60052 (/ISS)
Rab geranylgeranyltransferase activity GO:0004663
Catalysis of the reaction: 2 geranylgeranyl diphosphate + protein-cysteine = 2 S-geranylgeranyl-protein + 2 diphosphate. This reaction is the formation of two thioether linkages between the C-1 atom of the geranylgeranyl groups and two cysteine residues within the terminal sequence motifs XXCC, XCXC or CCXX. Known substrates include Ras-related GTPases of a single family and the Rab family.

Protein farnesylation GO:0018343
The covalent attachment of a farnesyl group to a protein.
1 O60052 (/IDA)
Protein farnesylation GO:0018343
The covalent attachment of a farnesyl group to a protein.
1 O60052 (/ISS)
Protein geranylgeranylation GO:0018344
The covalent attachment of a geranylgeranyl group to a protein.
1 O60052 (/IDA)

A process in which a protein is transported to, or maintained in, a specific location in the plasma membrane.
1 O60052 (/IC)

There are 4 GO terms relating to "cellular component"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
Nucleus GO:0005634
A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent.
1 O60052 (/HDA)
CAAX-protein geranylgeranyltransferase complex GO:0005953
A heterodimeric enzyme, composed of an alpha and a beta subunit. Participates in the post-translational C-terminal modification of several small GTPases, allowing their targeting to the membrane.
1 O60052 (/IDA)
CAAX-protein geranylgeranyltransferase complex GO:0005953
A heterodimeric enzyme, composed of an alpha and a beta subunit. Participates in the post-translational C-terminal modification of several small GTPases, allowing their targeting to the membrane.
1 O60052 (/ISS)
Protein farnesyltransferase complex GO:0005965
A protein complex that possesses protein farnesyltransferase activity.
