The CaaX specificities of Arabidopsis protein prenyltransferases explain era1 and ggb phenotypes [PDF]
Background Protein prenylation is a common post-translational modification in metazoans, protozoans, fungi, and plants. This modification, which mediates protein-membrane and protein-protein interactions, is characterized by the covalent attachment of

Prenylated Proteins: Structural Diversity and Functions [PDF]
The cell membranes consist of lipid bilayers that are semipermeable. The semipermeable nature enables the cell membranes to regulate the transport of materials entering and exiting the cell.
