Subcellular localization specified by protein acylation and phosphorylation

Curr Opin Cell Biol. 1993 Dec;5(6):984-9. doi: 10.1016/0955-0674(93)90081-z.

Abstract

Modification of proteins by both lipophilic and hydrophilic moieties is widely documented. Here we present recent insights into how protein targeting is influenced by protein modification, with particular emphasis on dynamic regulation by fatty acylation and phosphorylation of proteins.
