Crystal structure of the human acyl protein thioesterase 1 at 1.5 A resolution
Overview
BACKGROUND: Many proteins undergo posttranslational modifications, involving covalent attachment of lipid groups. Among them is, palmitoylation, a dynamic, reversible process that affects trimeric G, proteins and Ras and constitutes a regulatory mechanism for signal, transduction pathways. Recently, an acylhydrolase previously identified as, lysophospholipase has been shown to function as an acyl protein, thioesterase, which catalyzes depalmitoylation of Galpha proteins as well, as Ras. Its amino acid sequence suggested that the protein is, evolutionarily related to neutral lipases and other thioesterases, but, direct structural information was not available. RESULTS: We have solved, the crystal structure of the human putative Galpha-regulatory protein acyl, thioesterase (hAPT1) with a ... [(full description)]
