UniProt functional annotation for P49354



	UniProt functional annotation for P49354

UniProt code: P49354.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).

Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.

Function: Essential subunit of both the farnesyltransferase and the geranylgeranyltransferase complex. Contributes to the transfer of a farnesyl or geranylgeranyl moiety from farnesyl or geranylgeranyl diphosphate to a cysteine at the fourth position from the C-terminus of several proteins having the C-terminal sequence Cys-aliphatic- aliphatic-X. May positively regulate neuromuscular junction development downstream of MUSK via its function in RAC1 prenylation and activation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12036349, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12825937, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16893176, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19246009, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8419339, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8494894}.

Cofactor: Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P29703};

Activity regulation: Activated by the AGRIN-induced phosphorylation which is mediated by MUSK. {ECO:0000250}.

Subunit: Interacts with MUSK; the interaction is direct and mediates AGRIN-induced phosphorylation of FNTA (By similarity). Heterodimer of FNTA and FNTB (farnesyltransferase). Heterodimer of FNTA and PGGT1B (geranylgeranyltransferase). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11687658, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12036349, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12825937, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15170324, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15451670, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16893176, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19246009, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8419339}.

Ptm: Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation is mediated by MUSK upon AGRIN stimulation and results in the activation of FNTA (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Similarity: Belongs to the protein prenyltransferase subunit alpha family. {ECO:0000305}.
