Lipid modifications of proteins
Lipid modifications of proteins (Fig. 1) are widespread and functionally important in eukaryotic cells. For example, many intracellular proteins such as the signal-transducing heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) and the Ras superfamily of G proteins are modified by 14or 16-carbon fatty acids and/or 15or 20-carbon isoprenoids. Also, a variety of cell surface proteins such as acetylc...

Is it fair to say that Micromalthus is an ancient, primitive beetle? Many of Micromalthus’ anatomical characters are indeed primitive, in the sense of resembling the most recent ancestor it shares with other beetles, but of course its life cycle is anything but. No one thinks the ancestral beetle — or the ancestors of any other living beetles — had Micromalthus’ bizarre genetic and developmenta...
متن کاملInteractions of HIV-1 NEF with cellular signal transducing proteins.
Nef is a 27 - 34 kD myristoylated protein unique to primate lentiviruses. A functional Nef gene is important for development of high viremia and simian AIDS in SIV infected rhesus macaques (1). In a transgenic mouse model expression of Nef protein alone when expressed under a CD4-promoter is sufficient to cause an AIDS like disease (2). A critical role for Nef in development of AIDS in humans i...

متن کاملThe signal transducing photoreceptors of plants.
Light signals are amongst the most important environmental cues regulating plant development. In addition to light quantity, plants measure the quality, direction and periodicity of incident light and use the information to optimise growth and development to the prevailing environmental conditions. Red and far-red wavelengths are perceived by the photoreversible phytochrome family of photorecep...
