Frederick, Jeanne M. | The prenyl-binding protein PrBP/δ: A chaperone participating in intracellular trafficking | Expressed ubiquitously, PrBP/d functions as chaperone/co-factor in the transport of a subset of prenylated proteins. PrBP/d features an immunoglobulin-like b-sandwich fold for lipid binding, and interacts with diverse partners. PrBP/d binds both C-terminal C15 and C20 prenyl side chains of phototran... | 2012-01-01 | |
