Rab geranylgeranyl transferase activity is required for proper sterol biosynthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Abstract excerpt

In all eukaryotic cells, protein prenylation and cytoplasmic isoprenoid biosynthesis pathways leading to sterols, dolichols, and other isoprenoid compounds share a common precursor pool of isopentenyl diphosphate and the isomeric dimethylallyl diphosphate. Despite this, little is known about the interplay between these processes. Here we ask whether perturbation of protein prenylation in plants influences...
