GTPase activity and palmitoylation?

[Cornelius Krasel]

Hi netters,

does anybody have any idea if depalmitoylation of the alpha subunit would
affect the GTPase activity of heterotrimeric G proteins? Maybe I am missing
something? (Cannot recall if G proteins expressed in E. coli have reduced
GTPase activity :-( )
