Myristoylation is a type of post-translational modification that involves the addition of a myristic acid molecule to the N-terminus of a protein. Myristoylation helps to target proteins to specific cellular membranes, and is involved in various cellular processes including signal transduction, protein-protein interactions, and protein trafficking. Proteins that undergo myristoylation typically have a glycine residue at their N-terminus, which is required for the addition of the myristoyl group by the enzyme N-myristoyltransferase. Myristoylation is reversible and can be removed by the action of myristoyl-specific proteases. Dysfunction in myristoylation has been linked to various diseases including cancer and neurological disorders.
