Title: Synthesis and screening of a CaaL peptide library versus FTase reveals a surprising number of substrates.

Authors: Krzysiak AJ, Aditya AV, Hougland JL, Fierke CA, Gibbs RA.

Abstract: Proteins bearing a CaaL sequence are typically geranylgeranylated to enable their proper localization and function. We found that many of the dansyl-GCaaL peptides representing mammalian CaaL proteins can be farnesylated by FTase. This result may have important implications for prenylated protein biology.
