FunFam 40: Terpenoid cyclases/protein prenyltransferase alpha...

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 3 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 geranylgeranyltransferase activity GO:0004661
Catalysis of the covalent addition of a geranylgeranyl (20-carbon isoprenoid) group via thioether linkages to a cysteine residue at or near the C terminus of a protein.
1 Q55DA3 (/ISS)
CAAX-protein geranylgeranyltransferase activity GO:0004662
Catalysis of the reaction: geranylgeranyl diphosphate + protein-cysteine = S-geranylgeranyl-protein + diphosphate. This reaction is the formation of a thioether linkage between the C-1 atom of the geranylgeranyl group and a cysteine residue fourth from the C-terminus of the protein. The protein substrates have the C-terminal sequence CA1A2X, where the terminal residue, X, is preferably leucine and A2 should not be aromatic. Known substrates include most g-subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins and Ras-related GTPases such as members of the Ras and Rac/Rho families.
1 Q55DA3 (/ISS)
Zinc ion binding GO:0008270
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with zinc (Zn) ions.
1 Q55DA3 (/ISS)

There are 1 GO terms relating to "biological process"

GO Term Annotations Evidence
Protein geranylgeranylation GO:0018344
The covalent attachment of a geranylgeranyl group to a protein.
1 Q55DA3 (/ISS)

There are 1 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
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.
