متن کاملTaking a lipidation-dependent path toward endolysosomes
We recently reported that the isoprenylation and palmitoylation motif present at the C-terminus of human RhoB protein promotes intraluminal vesicle delivery of proteins in cells from organisms as phylogenetically apart as fungi and humans. Here we build on these observations by showing that chimeras of fluorescent proteins bearing this sequence, namely, CINCCKVL, which become isoprenylated and ...

A number of other investigators have linked measures of voric...
