Purification of the CaaX-modified, dynamin-related large GTPase hGBP1 by coexpression with farnesyltransferase[S]

Over a hundred proteins in eukaryotic cells carry a C-terminal CaaX box sequence, which targets them for posttranslational isoprenylation of the cysteine residue. This modification, catalyzed by either farnesyl or geranylgeranyl transferase, converts them into peripheral membrane proteins. Isoprenyl...
