, to a membrane-localization tag) improve the function of mutant versions of Boi1-PH that are impaired in the ability to bind PIP 2 ? One possibility is that each of these mutant versions of Boi1 retains at least a slight affinity for PIP 2 and that the myristoyl group causes these mutant PH domains to be apposed close enough to the lipid bilayer to enable the residual PIP 2 -binding activity to now be sufficient for binding to PIP 2 . We speculate that, just as binding to PS may serve to position the PH domain of wild-type Boi1 near the plasma membrane in a manner that facilitates binding to PIP 2 , the myristoyl group may help to situate the PH domain of the mutant versions of Boi1-PH at the plasma membrane in a manner that facilitates binding to PIP 2 .
