ENZYME entry: EC 2.5.1.60

Accepted Name
protein geranylgeranyltransferase type II
Alternative Name(s)
GGTaseII
Rab geranylgeranyltransferase
RabGGTase
type II protein geranyl-geranyltransferase
Reaction catalysed
geranylgeranyl diphosphate + L-cysteinyl-[protein] <=> diphosphate + S-geranylgeranyl-L-cysteinyl-[protein]
Comment(s)
  • This enzyme, along with EC 2.5.1.58 and EC 2.5.1.59, constitutes the protein prenyltransferase family of enzymes.
  • Attaches geranylgeranyl groups to two C-terminal cysteines in Ras- related GTPases of a single family, the Rab family (Ypt/Sec4 in lower eukaryotes) that terminate in XXCC, XCXC and CCXX motifs.
  • Reaction is entirely dependent on the Rab substrate being bound to Rab escort protein (REP).
  • Post-translational modification with the geranylgeranyl moiety is essential for Rab GTPases to be able to control the processes of membrane docking and fusion.
