Abstract excerpt
The surfactant protein C precursor (proSP-C) is palmitoylated on two cysteines adjacent to its transmembrane domain. We showed previously that palmitoylation of proSP-C occurs in a postendoplasmic reticulum compartment and is not affected by the Golgi-disturbing agent brefeldin A (BFA). In contrast, the investigations presented here showed that BFA almost completely abolished palmitoylation of proSP-C mutants...
