• Squalene synthase (SQS) or farnesyl-diphosphate:farnesyl-diphosphate farnesyl transferase is an enzyme localized to the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. (wikipedia.org)
  • Cloning and characterization of isoprenyl diphosphate synthases with farnesyl diphosphate and geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase activity from Norway spruce (Picea abies) and their relation to induced oleoresin formation. (mpg.de)
  • 2Z,6Z-Farnesyl diphosphate is synthesized by Z-farnesyl diphosphate synthase (M. tuberculosis) from neryl diphosphate. (echelon-inc.com)
  • Squalene synthase (SQS) catalyzes the reductive dimerization of farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP), in which two identical molecules of FPP are converted into one molecule of squalene. (wikipedia.org)
  • In the first half-reaction, two identical molecules of farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) are bound to squalene synthase (SQS) in a sequential manner. (wikipedia.org)
  • Geranylgeranyl transferase-I (GGTase-I) is an essential enzyme mediating posttranslational modification, especially the geranylgeranylation of small GTPase, Rac1. (hindawi.com)
  • Yck2p lacking C-terminal Cys residues fails to associate with any membrane, whereas substitution of these residues with a farnesyl transferase signal sequence allows sec-dependent plasma membrane targeting and biological function, suggesting that modification is required for interaction with early secretory membranes but that targeting does not require a particular modification.
