Farnesylation, catalyzed by protein farnesyltransferase (FTase), is an important post-translational modification guiding cellular localization. Recently predictive models for identifying FTase substrates have been reported. Here we evaluate these models through screening of dansylated-GCaaS peptides, which also provides new insights into the protein substrate selectivity of FTase.
由蛋白质法尼基转移酶（FTase）催化的法尼基化是一种指导细胞定位的重要翻译后修饰。最近有报道称建立了用于识别FTase底物的预测模型。在此，我们通过筛选丹磺酰化的GCaaS肽来评估这些模型，这也为FTase的蛋白质底物选择性提供了新的见解。
