myristoylation lipid membrane modification

Overview

N-myristoylation attaches myristate (C14) to N-terminal glycine residues via N-myristoyltransferase (NMT).

Characteristics

Co-translational modification occurring after methionine removal. Some cases are post-translational (caspase cleavage exposure).

Biological Significance

Myristoylation is essential for Src family kinase, Arf GTPase, and caspase membrane association. NMT inhibitors show anticancer potential.
