... lipidation. In the present review, we give a brief overview of the tools available to study protein acylation, prenylation and cholesterylation, and their application in the identification and quantification of protein lipidation in health and disease. 26 10 2012 © The Authors Journal compilation...

...C.Z. Chen; R.N. Collins The YIP1 family comprises an evolutionarily conserved group of membrane proteins, which share the ability to bind di-prenylated Rab proteins. The biochemical capability of YIP1 family proteins suggests a possible role in the cycle of physical localization of Rab proteins...

... proteins to GDI is relatively high and for prenylated Rab9, for example, the dissociation constant ( K d ) is approx. 20 nM [ 10 ]. This high affinity led to the proposal that the dissociation of Rab proteins from GDI and their subsequent association to membranes requires a displacement factor, named GDF...
