[Isoform p46]: Note=(Microbial infection) In SARS coronavirus-2/SARS-CoV-2 infected cells, prenylated form localizes to membranous perinuclear structures reminiscent of the endoplasmic reticulum rich in viral dsRNA which are SARS-CoV-2 replicative organelles. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:34581622}.;
[Isoform p42]: Note=(Microbial infection) In SARS coronavirus-2/SARS-CoV-2 infected cells, since its not prenylated, is diffusely localized and unable to initiate a detectable block to SARS-CoV-2 replication. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:34581622}.
