Thematic review series: Lipid Posttranslational Modifications CAAX modification and membrane targeting of Ras
Proteins that terminate with a consensus sequence known as CAAX undergo a series of posttranslational modifications that include polyisoprenylation, endoproteolysis, and carboxyl methylation. These modifications render otherwise hydrophilic proteins hydrophobic at their C termini such that they asso...
