General description

M.W. α-subunit: ~48,000; β-subunit: ~46,000
Recombinant, rat FPTase expressed in E. coli. A heterodimeric enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a 15-carbon isoprenoid group to a C-terminal cysteine in a variety of cellular proteins, including Ras. Recognizes the CaaX motif where the farnesylated cysteine (C) is followed by two aliphatic amino acids (aa) and either leucine or serine (X). Expressed in E. coli as an untagged recombinant protein.

Biochem/physiol Actions

1 pmol of FPTase will transfer 1 pmol of farnesyl to H-Ras in 15 min at 37°C.

Physical form

In 25 mM HEPES, pH 7.2, 40 mM NaCl, 5µM ZnCl2, and 1mM TECP

Preparation Note

Following initial thaw, aliquot and freeze (-70°C).
