NCBI Protein Information
S-isoprenylcysteine O-methyltransferase
NCBI Summary
Encodes a prenylcysteine alpha-carboxyl methyltransferase involved in methylation of isoprenylated proteins. This protein appears to have lower catalytic activity and a lower transcript expression level than the other ICMT present in Arabidopsis (At5g08335). Analysis of ICMT RNAi lines suggests that this protein may be involved in flower and stem development.

UniProt Comments
Catalyzes the post-translational methylation of isoprenylated C-terminal cysteine residues, resulting in the modulation of the function of prenylated proteins. Involved in negative regulation of abscisic acid signaling. Carboxyl methylation is a reversible and potentially regulated step in the post-translational modification of prenylated proteins.
