Abstract excerpt
The a-factor of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (YIIKGVF-WDPAC(Farnesyl)-OCH3) is a peptide pheromone in which post-translational modification with a farnesyl isoprenoid and carboxyl methyl group is required for export and bioactivity. Truncated and carboxyl-terminal modified analogs of the a-factor were synthesized in order to determine the effect of such modifications on bioactivity. Bioactivity studies on...
