N-myristoyltransferase: Tracing Steps Backwards to Find a Way Forward

2020-10-25

Abstract excerpt

N-myristoylation refers to the attachment of a 14-carbon fatty acid onto the N-terminal glycine residue of a target protein. The myristoylation reaction, catalyzed by N-myristoyltrasnferase (NMT), is essential for regulating cellular activities such as signal transduction, proliferation, migration, differentiation, and transformation. Although a considerable amount of research is performed on the overexpression of...
