摘要
Two distinct types of lipid modification, myristoylation and isoprenylation, are critical for membrane association of heterotrimeric G proteins. Elucidation of the molecular basis for G protein membrane association has important implications for understanding G protein structure and function, and is relevant to potential therapeutic approaches to AIDS and cancer.
