摘要
A 23-fold enhancement of fluorescence is observed upon RabGGTase-mediated protein prenylation by NBD-FPP. We propose that the chaperone of prenylated Rab GTPases, REP, which harbors the conjugated prenyl moieties, functions as a fluorescence amplifier and leads to intermolecular fluorescence enhancement. This reaction was characterized and used to develop a fluorescent prenylation assay that can be adapted for a high-throughput format. © 2006 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
