The 4 PFTB Repeats proteins and their functions

S.NOUniprot ID Protein Name Sequence LengthPFTB Repeats regionFunction
1 P49356 Protein farnesyltransferase subunit beta 437Essential subunit of the farnesyltransferase complex
Catalyzes the transfer of a farnesyl moiety from farnesyl diphosphate to a cysteine at the fourth position from the C-terminus of several proteins having the C-terminal sequence Cys-aliphatic-aliphatic-X
2 P48449 Lanosterol synthase 732"Catalyzes the cyclization of (S)-2,3 oxidosqualene to lanosterol, a reaction that forms the sterol nucleus
Through the production of lanosterol may regulate lens protein aggregation and increase transparency"
3 P53609 Geranylgeranyl transferase type-1 subunit beta 377"Catalyzes the transfer of a geranyl-geranyl moiety from geranyl-geranyl pyrophosphate to a cysteine at the fourth position from the C-terminus of proteins having the C-terminal sequence Cys-aliphatic-aliphatic-X
Known substrates include RAC1, RAC2, RAP1A and RAP1B"
4 P53611 Geranylgeranyl transferase type-2 subunit beta 331"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"
