High-content assay to study protein prenylation.
The mevalonate pathway leads to synthesis of cholesterol and isoprenoid lipids. Prenyltransferases attach the isoprenoid lipids to the C-terminus of several small guanosine triphosphate-binding proteins. The prenyl groups are essential for the biological

Abstract INTRODUCTION The apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) allele is the strongest genetic risk factor for late‐onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). ApoE4 has reduced lipidation capacity and impaired lipid transport, disrupting neuronal maintenance. The high‐density lipoprotein (HDL)‐mimetic peptide 4F offers a potential therapeutic strategy.

GRKs and arrestins: Nomenclature and functions in GPCR‐dependent and ‐independent signalling
G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) kinases (GRKs) and arrestins play a critical role in the regulation of GPCR signalling. Historic names of mammalian GRKs were replaced by systematic ones in the 1990s; however, both kinds of names are currently in use for mammalian arrestins.
