A new class EC 7, Translocases, has been added to the EC list. It will be part of ENZYME from release 2018_10. Read more about EC 7 here.

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 + protein-cysteine <=> S-geranylgeranyl-protein + diphosphate
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.
