Chemical inhibition of myristoylation of the G-protein Gi1 alpha by 2-hydroxymyristate does not interfere with its palmitoylation or membrane association. Evidence that palmitoylation, but not myristoylation, regulates membrane attachment.

1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

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 of this protein when expressed in the COS cells. Construction of a mutant of Gi1 alpha in which serine-6 was replaced by aspartic acid prevented both myristoylation and palmitoylation, and the expressed protein was found primarily in the cytoplasmic fraction. These data indicate the myristoylation is not an absolute requirement for palmitoylation of Gi1 alpha and that palmitoylation, but not myristoylation, plays a key role in membrane association of this G-protein alpha-subunit.
