HRT1/HRT2 require additional cofactors from the eukaryotic cells to produce distinct cPT activity, which seem to be contained in latex species 723380 2.5.1.20 neryl diphosphate accelerates activity 638725 2.5.1.20 Rubber elongation factor amino acid sequence of REF 638729 2.5.1.20 Rubber elongation factor i.e.REF, protein tightly bound to serum-free rubber particles, required for prenyltransferase activity, no requirement for farnesyl diphosphate synthase activity 638728 2.5.1.20 rubber particle - 638730 2.5.1.20 sulfhydryl compound essential for full activity 638725
