Abstract
Prenylated amino acid fragments have been isolated from prenylated proteins of Chinese hamster ovary cells. Gel-exclusion chromatography indicates that these proteins are modified by two different prenyl groups. The prenyl-amino acid fragments are labeled by 35S from cysteine, and this bond is cleaved by Raney-Ni, proving that the prenyl residue is linked to protein via a thioether to cysteine. Hydrazinolysis has been used to demonstrate that the cysteine is carboxy terminal.Entities:
