Systematic analysis of prenylation of bacterial proteins by eukaryotic host cells through combination of computational protein sequence analysis with wet-lab experimental verifications.

A C-terminal motif on proteins allows for recognition by at least one of three prenyltransferases for addition of an isoprenyl anchor. This post-translational lipid modification, known as prenylation, facilitates membrane localization and protein-protein interaction. The prenylation enzymes are only...
