Example sentences for: palmitoylation

How can you use “palmitoylation” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Most of the CPKs contain fatty-acylation sites, including those for myristoylation and palmitoylation, which seem to be necessary for targeting to membranes and for protein-protein interactions [ 67].

  • Since the long form of Rlk is palmitoylated on its cysteine string motif and palmitoylated proteins can be associated with RAFTs, we examined the localization of a mutant version of RlkCM in which the cysteine string is mutated, thereby preventing palmitoylation of the long form of Rlk.

  • No palmitoylation of sα i2 was detected (Figure 6A, lane 3), although α i2 was strongly palmitoylated (Figure 6A, lane 2).

  • sα i2 may fail to undergo palmitoylation because it is not stable long enough for post-translational palmitoylation to occur or because it fails to reach a PM site of palmitoylation.

  • Myristoylation occurs co-translationally at the extreme N-terminal glycine, while palmitoylation occurs post-translationally at a cysteine immediately after the myristoylated glycine [ 15 ] . The subcellular site where palmitoylation occurs has not been well defined, although in one model palmitoylation occurs at the PM [ 16 ] . Cells expressing α i2 or sα i2 were metabolically labeled with 3H-palmitate or 3H-myristate.
