Methylation and the innate immune system (2)

Single methyl groups can act as toggle switches to specify transmembrane protein-protein interactions These results highlight the high intrinsic specificity of TMD interactions, demonstrate that a single methyl group can dictate specificity, and define the minimal chemical difference that can modulate the specificity of TMD interactions and the activity of transmembrane proteins.
