Functional classification and validation of yeast prenylation motifs using machine learning and genetic reporters.

Protein prenylation by farnesyltransferase (FTase) is often described as the targeting of a cysteine-containing motif (CaaX) that is enriched for aliphatic amino acids at the a1 and a2 positions, while quite flexible at the X position. Prenylation prediction methods often rely on these features desp...
