General annotation (Comments)

Function

Catalyzes the transfer of a farnesyl or geranyl-geranyl moiety from farnesyl or geranyl-geranyl pyrophosphate to a cysteine at the fourth position from the C-terminus of several proteins having the C-terminal sequence Cys-aliphatic-aliphatic-X. The alpha subunit is thought to participate in a stable complex with the substrate. The beta subunit binds the peptide substrate. Through RAC1 prenylation and activation may positively regulate neuromuscular junction development downstream of MUSK By similarity.

Catalytic activity

Farnesyl diphosphate + protein-cysteine = S-farnesyl protein + diphosphate.

Geranylgeranyl diphosphate + protein-cysteine = S-geranylgeranyl-protein + diphosphate.

Enzyme regulation

Activated by the AGRIN-induced phosphorylation which is mediated by MUSK By similarity.

Subunit structure

Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit. Interacts with MUSK; the interaction is direct and mediates AGRIN-induced phosphorylation of FNTA By similarity. Ref.5

Post-translational modification

Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation is mediated by MUSK upon AGRIN stimulation and results in the activation of FNTA By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein prenyltransferase subunit alpha family.

Contains 5 PFTA repeats.
