Abstract excerpt
The alpha subunit of the heterotrimeric Gs protein that couples the beta-adrenergic receptor to adenylyl cyclase undergoes post-translational palmitoylation. We examined the dynamics of this modification of alpha s by metabolic labeling of COS and S49 lymphoma cells under different conditions. The endogenous alpha s proteins were immunoprecipitated with a peptide-specific antibody, separated by SDS-polyacrylamide...
