N-myristoylation is a common eukaryotic protein lipid modification in plants, but its core mechanisms and specific regulatory effects on protein function and fate remain incompletely characterized.
- Why it matters: The field needs clearer understanding of how N-myristoylation is executed and how it shapes protein fate to support plant immunity, abiotic stress responses, growth, and development.
- What they did: This review summarizes the biochemical process and N-myristoyltransferase features, details how the modification modulates protein fate, and evaluates detection methods with their advantages and limitations.
- The result: By integrating current evidence and proposing future directions, it provides a theoretical foundation to guide subsequent plant-focused investigations into N-myristoylation’s roles in environmental adaptation and survival.
