Prenylated proteins: the structure of the isoprenoid group

HC Rilling, E Breunger, WW Epstein, and PF Crain

Department of Biochemistry, University of Utah, Salt Lake City 84112.

The mevalonate-derived portion of a prenylated protein from Chinese hamster ovary cells has been established as diterpenoid (C20). This group is linked to a carboxyl-terminal cysteine as a thioether. It was removed from the protein by hydrazinolysis followed by Raney nickel desulfurization, and the resulting hydrocarbon fraction was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
