Abstract excerpt
Synaptotagmin I, the calcium sensor for neurotransmission, is palmitoylated. We have identified the palmitoylation sites as five cysteine residues located between the transmembrane and cytoplasmic regions. In contrast to wild-type synaptotagmin, the non-acylated mutant is not converted to the endoglycosidase-H-resistant form after expression in CV-1 cells. This indicates a block in transport through the Golgi...
