Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** 1. **Geranylgeranylation**: PGGT1B is a key enzyme responsible for the geranylgeranylation of proteins, a post-translational modification that involves the addition of a geranylgeranyl group to the C-terminal cysteine residue of proteins. 2. **Subunit of Geranylgeranyltransferase Type I**: PGGT1B is a subunit of the geranylgeranyltransferase type I (GGT1) complex, which consists of two subunits: PGGT1A and PGGT1B. 3. **Tissue-Specific Expression**: PGGT1B is highly expressed in neurons, particularly in the cerebral cortex, retina, and photoreceptor cells, highlighting its crucial role in neuronal development and function. 4. **Zinc Binding**: PGGT1B contains a zinc-binding motif, which is essential for the enzyme's catalytic activity. **Pathways and Functions:** 1. **Protein Geranylgeranylation**: PGGT1B catalyzes the geranylgeranylation of proteins, which is essential for their proper functioning in various cellular processes, including cell signaling, adhesion, and membrane trafficking. 2. **Neuronal Signaling**: Geranylgeranylation of proteins involved in neuronal signaling, such as Ras and Rho, is crucial for the regulation of synaptic plasticity, neuronal growth, and differentiation. 3. **Cell Adhesion**: Geranylgeranylation of proteins involved in cell adhesion, such as N-Ras and Rho, is essential for the regulation of cell-cell interactions and tissue organization. 4. **Membrane Trafficking**: Geranylgeranylation of proteins involved in membrane trafficking, such as Rab and Arf, is crucial for the regulation of vesicle transport and membrane dynamics. **Clinical Significance:** 1. **Neurological Disorders**: Dysregulation of PGGT1B has been linked to several neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). 2. **Cancer**: Geranylgeranylation of proteins involved in cell signaling and adhesion is also implicated in the development and progression of various cancers. 3. **Neurodevelopmental Disorders**: Abnormalities in PGGT1B expression and function have been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia. 4. **Therapeutic Targeting**: Understanding the functions and dysregulation of PGGT1B offers potential therapeutic avenues for the treatment of neurological and cancerous diseases. In conclusion, PGGT1B is a critical protein subunit involved in the geranylgeranyltransferase activity, which plays a vital role in various cellular processes, including neuronal signaling, cell adhesion, and membrane trafficking. Further research is necessary to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the dysregulation of PGGT1B and its implications in neurological and cancerous diseases.
