Abstract
Just add oil: A new detergent-free method was developed to synthesize lipidated proteins using a light-activatable solubilizing side chain (in dashed circle, see scheme) to assist the ligation of the lipopeptides. This method allows the efficient preparation of a phosphatidylethanolamine-conjugated autophagosomal marker protein (LC3-II) as well as labeled derivatives of LC3-II, which can be used to study autophagy regulation.
