Peripheral membrane proteins utilize a variety of
mechanisms to attach tightly, and often reversibly, to cellular
membranes. The covalent lipid modifications, myristoylation and
palmitoylation, are critical for plasma membrane localization of
heterotrimeric G protein
Interaction with G

Is Required for Membrane Targeting and
Palmitoylation of G
s and G
q*
subunits. For
s and
q, two subunits that are palmitoylated but not
myristoylated, we examined the importance of interacting with the G
protein 
dimer for their proper plasma membrane localization and
palmitoylation. Conserved
subunit N-terminal amino acids predicted
to mediate binding to 
were mutated to create a series of 
binding region mutants expressed in HEK293 cells. These
s and
q mutants were found in soluble
rather than particulate fractions, and they no longer localized to
plasma membranes as demonstrated by immunofluorescence microscopy. The
mutations also inhibited incorporation of radiolabeled palmitate into
the proteins and abrogated their signaling ability. Additional
q mutants, which contain these mutations but are
modified by both myristate and palmitate, retained their localization
to plasma membranes and ability to undergo palmitoylation. These
findings identify binding to 
as a critical membrane attachment
signal for
s and
q and as a prerequisite
for their palmitoylation, while myristoylation can restore membrane
localization and palmitoylation of 
binding-deficient
q subunits.
