Lecture 18: Protein Lipidation Flashcards
protein lipidation (def.)
a covalent modification of proteins by lipids
protein lipidation can play a key role in _____ and _____ of modified protein
localization and function
most modifications are ___ but some can be ____
stable (permanent)
dynamic (regulated addition and removal)
protein lipidation promotes localization in membrane by ____
acting as an anchor in membrane
protein lipidation can be ___ or ____
co-translational
post-translational
Five main categories of Protein Lipidation
1) glypiation
2) cholesteroylation
3) prenylation
4) Acylation
5) Other
glypiation is the addition of _____
GPI anchor
cholesteroylation is the addition of _____
cholesterol
prenylation is the addition of _____
farnesyl and geranylgeranyl
acylation is the addition of _____
fatty acids (myristate and palmitate)
other types of protein lipidation is the addition of _____
phospholipids
several proteins are subject to _____ because it promotes _____
multiple lipidation
strong association with membrane
nature of lipidation affects ___ and ____
localization and properties
5 main lipids
1) myristate
2) palmitate
3) palmitoleic
4) farnesyl
5) geranylgeranyl
protein lipidation with myristate linkage? to associated residue? stability?
amide/H2N-Gly –> stable
protein lipidation with palmitate linkage? to associated residue? stability?
thioester/cysteine –> dynamic
amide/ H2N-Cys –> stable
protein lipidation with palmitoleic linkage? to associated residue? stability?
oxyester/serine –> stable
protein lipidation with farnesyl linkage? to associated residue? stability?
thioether/cysteine –> stable
protein lipidation with geranylgeranyl linkage? to associated residue? stability?
thioether/cysteine –> stable
2 saturated lipids
1) myristate
2) palmitate
3 unsaturated lipids

3) geranylgeranyl
cholesterol can be ___
inserted into membrane
protein cholesteroylation helps with ____
protein insertion into membrane
main targets for protein cholesteroylation are ___
protein of the Hedgehog family (Hh)
Hedgehog protein family (def.)
family of secreted signaling proteins needed for growth and patterning
Hedgehog protein family are morphogens that can ____
elicit developmental fate over significant
distances
Hedgehogs are produced as ______ and large extension at ______
larger precursors with signal sequence
the C-terminus
Hedgehogs require ____
extensive processing
Cholesteroylation of Hh proteins method
1) cleavage in conserved Gly-Cys-Phe (GCF) on C-terminus after translocation
2) auto-processing mediated by C-terminal extension
3) Transfer of cholesterol to C-terminal glycine
4) Stable palmitoylation at N-terminus on Cys
Both the _____ and _____ (protein lipidation) are essential for function of Hh proteins
cholesteroylation
stable palmitoylation
the protein modifications of Hh proteins allows the ____
secreted signaling domain to remain tethered to PM
the protein modifications of Hh proteins help the protein to form____
micelles
Protein isoprenylation occurs on _____
cysteine residue part of the “-CAAX” or “-CXC” motifs at the C-terminus
(A-aliphatic residues)
Protein isoprenylation forms ___ bond
Irreversible thioether
Isoprene has how many carbons?
5
Farnesyl residue has how many carbons?
15
geranylgeranyl residue has how many carbons?
20
General rule: when to add geranylgeranyl vs farnesyl residue?
-geranylgeranyl: CAAX, CXC –> X = leucine (L)
- farnesyl: anything else
the synthesis pathway of cholesterol contains ____
many lipids used in protein lipidation as intermediates
