Post-translational prenylation of the carboxyl-terminal cysteine is a characteristic feature of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) gamma subunits. Recent findings show that the farnesylated COOH-terminal tail of the gamma 1 subunit is a specific determinant of rhodopsin-transducin coupling. We
