Several proteins have been found to be prenylated and methylated at their C-terminal ends.
Prenylation was initially believed to be important only for membrane attachment.
However, another role for prenylation appears to be its importance in protein-protein interactions.
The only nuclear proteins known to be prenylated in mammalian cells are prelamin A- and B-type lamins.
Prelamin A is farnesylated and carboxymethylated on the cysteine residue of a C-terminal CaaX motif.
This post-translationally modified cysteine residue is removed from prelamin A when it is endoproteolytically processed into mature lamin A.
The nuclear prelamin A recognition factor encoded by NARF binds to the prenylated prelamin A C-terminal tail domain.
It may be a component of a prelamin A endoprotease complex.
The encoded protein is located in the nucleus, where it partially colocalizes with the nuclear lamina.
It shares limited sequence similarity with iron-only bacterial hydrogenases.
Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene, including one with a novel exon that is generated by RNA editing.
