Abstract:
Plant protein isoprenylation has received considerable attention in the past decade. Since the initial discovery of isoprenylated plant proteins and their respective protein isoprenyltransferases, several research groups have endeavored to understand the physiological significance of this process in plants. Various experimental approaches, including inhibitor studies, systematic methods of protein identification, and mutant analyses in Arabidopsis thaliana, have enabled these groups to elucidate important roles for isoprenylated proteins in cell cycle control, signal transduction, cytoskeletal organization, and intracellular vesicle transport. This article reviews recent progress in understanding the functional implications of protein isoprenylation in plants.
