Reversible lysine fatty acylation of an anchoring protein mediates adipocyte adrenergic signaling [Biochemistry]
N-myristoylation on glycine is an irreversible modification that has long been recognized to govern protein localization and function. In contrast, the biological roles of lysine myristoylation remain ill-defined. We demonstrate that the cytoplasmic scaffolding protein, gravin-α/A kinase–anchoring protein 12, is myristoylated on two lysine residues embedded in its carboxyl-terminal protein...
