We have isolated and sequenced the ptb1 gene from the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe . Sequence analysis suggests that Ptb1 is the β subunit of the type‐II geranylgeranyltransferase that is responsible for geranylgeranylation of the Rab‐like YPT proteins in this yeast. The sequence has been deposited in the EMBL data library under the Accession Number X92183.
