This protein enables 4 target(s):
| Target | Category | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| Rab geranylgeranyltransferase activity | molecular function | Catalysis of the reaction: 2 geranylgeranyl diphosphate + protein-cysteine = 2 S-geranylgeranyl-protein + 2 diphosphate. This reaction is the formation of two thioether linkages between the C-1 atom of the geranylgeranyl groups and two cysteine residues within the terminal sequence motifs XXCC, XCXC or CCXX. Known substrates include Ras-related GTPases of a single family and the Rab family. [EC:2.5.1.60, GOC:mah, PMID:8621375] |
| protein binding | molecular function | Binding to a protein. [GOC:go_curators] |
| zinc ion binding | molecular function | Binding to a zinc ion (Zn). [GOC:ai] |
| small GTPase binding | molecular function | Binding to a small monomeric GTPase. [GOC:mah, PMID:27218782] |

| Rab-protein geranylgeranyltransferase complex | cellular component | An protein-containing complex which catalyzes of the transfer of a geranyl-geranyl group from geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate to a Rab protein. In mammals it is composed of an alpha and a beta subunit, and associates with an accessory protein Rep (Rab escort protein). [GOC:jl, PMID:11886217] |
This protein is involved in 3 target(s):
| Target | Category | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| visual perception | biological process | The series of events required for an organism to receive a visual stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. Visual stimuli are detected in the form of photons and are processed to form an image. [GOC:ai] |
| protein geranylgeranylation | biological process | The covalent attachment of a geranylgeranyl group to a protein. [GOC:jl] |
| protein modification process | biological process | The covalent alteration of one or more amino acids occurring in proteins, peptides and nascent polypeptides (co-translational, post-translational modifications). Includes the modification of charged tRNAs that are destined to occur in a protein (pre-translation modification). [GOC:bf, GOC:jl] |
