Once again, the myristoylation site 'predicted' in this paper is unlikely. N-myristoylation occurs on N-terminal Glycines hence the name N-myristoylation. It can only happen on internal glycine residues following proteolysis of the protein before the Glycine. As this protein has no cleavage site, it is unlikely to be myristoylated. I have pointed this out to one of the authors who agreed with this assessment and yet continues to publish this data.
Also, as far as I can tell, they do not reference what prediction tool they used for myristoylation.
