Regulated covalent modifications of lipid A are implicated in virulence of pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria. The Salmonella PhoP/PhoQ-activated gene pagP is required for resistance to cationic antimicrobial peptides and for biosynthesis of hepta-acylated lipid A species containing palmitate. Interestingly, pagP encodes

The salt tolerance gene SOS3 (for salt overly sensitive3) of Arabidopsis is predicted to encode a calcium binding protein with an N-myristoylation signature sequence. Here, we examine the myristoylation and calcium binding properties of SOS3 and their functional significance in

Pharmacological studies support the idea that nitric oxide (NO) serves as a retrograde messenger during long-term potentiation (LTP) in area CA1 of the hippocampus. Mice with a defective form of the gene for neuronal NO synthase (nNOS), however, exhibit normal

The alpha-subunit of the G-protein Gi1 alpha is normally dually acylated at its N-terminus with the saturated fatty acids myristate and palmitate. Inhibition of protein myristoylation by treatment with 2-hydroxymyristate prevented neither the incorporation of [3H]palmitate nor the membrane association

Lipid A of Salmonella typhimurium can be resolved into multiple molecular species. Many of these substances are more polar than the predominant hexa-acylated lipid A 1,4'-bisphosphate of Escherichia coli K-12. By using new isolation methods, we have purified six lipid
