Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
recombinant alpha- and beta-subunits, coexpressed in Escherichia coli, form a heterodimer and show activity to transfer farnesyl using farnesylpyrophosphate as a donor to human H-Ras possessing a C-terminal CVLS, but not a mutant H-Ras possessing CVLL. Entamoeba histolytica
