Fatty acylation of proteins: new insights into membrane targeting of myristoylated and palmitoylated proteins

Open access
Resh, Marilyn D.·1999·Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research

Abstract

Covalent attachment of myristate and/or palmitate occurs on a wide variety of viral and cellular proteins. This review will highlight the latest advances in our understanding of the enzymology of N-myristoylation and palmitoylation as well as the functional consequences of fatty acylation of key signaling proteins. The role of myristate and palmitate in promoting membrane binding as well as specific membrane targeting will be reviewed, with emphasis on the Src family of tyrosine protein kinases and alpha subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins. The use of myristoyl switches and regulated depalmitoylation as mechanisms for achieving reversible membrane binding and regulated signaling will also be explored.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
