Reaction

Reaction Comment Organism Reaction ID
farnesyl diphosphate + protein-cysteine = S-farnesyl protein + diphosphate enzyme constitutes the protein prenyltransferase family of enzymes Saccharomyces cerevisiae
farnesyl diphosphate + protein-cysteine = S-farnesyl protein + diphosphate The enzyme preferentially farnesylates CaaX sequences ending in methionine, cysteine or serine. Enzyme also attaches geranylgeraniol to some CaaX sequences ending in methionine, leucine and cysteine. Substrate overlap may occur between the Saccharomyces cerevisae farnesyl transferase and geranylgeranyltransferase types I in vivo Saccharomyces cerevisiae
