Novel fatty acyl substrates for myristoyl-CoA:protein N-myristoyl-transferase.

Novel fatty acyl substrates for myristoyl-CoA:protein N-myristoyl-transferase.

Myristoyl-CoA:protein N-myristoyltransferase (NMT) catalyzes the covalent attachment of myristic acid to the NH2-terminal Gly residues of a number of viral and cellular proteins. The remarkable specificity of this enzyme for myristoyl CoA observed in vivo appears to arise in large part from a cooper...
