Palmitylation of vaccinia virus proteins : identification of modification sites and biological relevance

Creator:

Grosenbach, Douglas W.

Abstract:

Vaccinia virus encodes at least eight proteins that are modified post-translationally by the addition of a 16-carbon saturated fatty acid through thioester linkage to cysteine residues. This is referred to as palmitylation of proteins. The purpose of this work was to gain an understanding of palmitylation, focusing on what defined...
