Secondary Information

Protein Function  Expression of DN GGTase I alpha-subunit inhibited insulin's ability to increase DNA synthesis, cell count, GGTase I activity, amounts of prenylated p21Ras and RhoA, and magnitude of phosphorylation of MAP kinase.
Biochemical Properties 7 FTase and GGTase I are heterodimers and share the same a-subunit,8 whereas the b-subunit confers substrate specificity.

Significance of PTMs Insulin promotes the phosphorylation and activation of FTase and GGTase I and thereby increases the amounts of prenylated p21Ras and RhoA.
Additional Comments Catalyzes the transfer of a geranylgeranyl moiety from geranylgeranyl diphosphate to both cysteines of Rab proteins with the C-terminal sequence -XXCC, -XCXC and -CCXX, such as RAB1A, RAB3A, RAB5A and RAB7A.
