TAIR Computational Description | farnesyltransferase A;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes the alpha-subunit shared between protein farnesyltransferase and protein geranylgeranyltransferase-I. Involved in protein prenylation: covalent attachment of the C-15 isoprene farnesyl or the C-20 isoprene geranylgeranyl groups to the C-terminal end of some proteins. Involved in shoot and flower meristem homeostasis, and response to ABA and drought. Also regulates leaf cell shape. Mutant is epistatic to era1. |
