Abstract excerpt
ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) are modified by a myristate group that is covalently linked to the second glycine residue at the amino terminus. With the recent evidence that ARF6 localizes to the cell periphery and plays a regulatory role in endocytic traffic, we have investigated the role of myristoylation on the membrane association, biological activity, and subcellular distribution of ARF6 in intact cells.
