Abstract excerpt
Subcellular localization of Ras proteins to the plasma membrane is accomplished in part by covalent attachment of a farnesyl moiety to the conserved CaaX box cysteine. Farnesylation targets Ras to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where additional processing steps occur, resulting in translocation of Ras to the plasma membrane. The mechanism(s) by which this occurs is not well understood. In this report, we show...
