Abstract excerpt
Membrane localization of lipidated cytosolic signaling proteins is mediated by interactions between specific lipid anchors and membranes, but little is known about the regulatory role of membrane composition in lipidated protein membrane targeting. Here, using green fluorescent protein (GFP) chimeras and quantitative fluorescence microscopy in living mouse colonocytes, we show that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a...
