Lipid Modifications of Trimeric G Proteins

Open access
Wedegaertner, Philip B., Wilson, Paul T., Bourne, Henry R.·1995·Journal of Biological Chemistry

Abstract

G protein alpha subunits and beta gamma dimers are covalently modified by lipids. The emerging picture is one in which attached lipids provide more than just a nonspecific "glue" for sticking G proteins to membranes. We are only beginning to understand how different lipid modifications of different G protein subunits affect specific protein-protein interactions and localization to specific cellular sites. In addition, regulation of these modifications, particularly palmitoylation, can provide new ways to regulate signals transmitted by G proteins.

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.
