Palmitoylation of Gephyrin Controls Receptor Clustering and Plasticity of GABAergic Synapses [1] In molecular biology, palmitoylation is the covalent attachment of fatty acids, such as palmitic acid, to cysteine (S-palmitoylation) and less frequently to serine and threonine (O-palmitoylation) residues of proteins, which are typically membrane ...
Some members of the family such as ZDHHC3 and ZDHHC7 enhance palmitoylation of proteins such as PSD-95, SNAP-25, GAP43, Gαs. Others such as ZDHHC9 showed specificity only toward the H-Ras protein. [3] However, a recent study questions the involvement of classical enzyme-substrate recognition and specificity in the palmitoylation reaction. [4]
palmitoylation (a type of acylation), attachment of palmitate, a C 16 saturated acid; isoprenylation or prenylation, the addition of an isoprenoid group (e.g. farnesol and geranylgeraniol) farnesylation; geranylgeranylation; glypiation, glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor formation via an amide bond to C-terminal tail
Olivia Munn recently appeared on Monica Lewinsky’s “Reclaiming” podcast and revealed she once turned down an offer worth millions of dollars from a studio to sign an NDA after she endured a ...
The mummy of King Thutmose II, who ruled during the Eighteenth Dynasty of ancient Egypt, is seen on display in a file photo provided by the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.
If you also cringe at the thought of wearing boots with low socks, a nice pair of boot socks are in order. Originally $24, you can nab these in black, white or gray for $16, down 33%.
The protein palmitoylation is a reversible process. The addition of palmitoyl group increase the membrane association of the substrate protein while the removal by palmitoyl thioesterase decreases the membrane association.
In palmitoleoylation, a palmitoleoyl group (derived from palmitoleic acid, pictured above) is added.. Palmitoleoylation is type of protein lipidation where the monounsaturated fatty acid palmitoleic acid is covalently attached to serine or threonine residues of proteins.
