KAT7‐acetylated and cytoplasm‐translocated G‐protein GαS enhances IL‐6 effect and drives HCC progenitor cell progression. Abstract Background and Aims Hepatocarcinogenesis goes through HCC progenitor cells (HcPCs) to fully established HCC, and the mechanisms driving the development of HcPCs are still largely unknown.

Identification of PSD-95 Depalmitoylating Enzymes [PDF]
Postsynaptic density (PSD)-95, the most abundant postsynaptic scaffolding protein, plays a pivotal role in synapse development and function. Continuous palmitoylation cycles on PSD-95 are essential for its synaptic clustering and regulation of AMPA receptor function.

APT1-Mediated Depalmitoylation Regulates Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity
Palmitoylation may be relevant to the processes of learning and memory, and even disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder and aging-related cognitive decline. However, underlying mechanisms of palmitoylation in these processes remain unclear. Herein, we used acyl-biotin exchange, coimmunoprecipitation and biotinylation assays, and behavioral ...

Palmitoylation and depalmitoylation defects [PDF]
AbstractPalmitoylation describes the enzymatic attachment of a 16‐carbon atom fatty acid to a target protein. Such lipidation events occur in all eukaryotes and can be of reversible (S‐palmitoylation) or irreversible (N‐palmitoylation) nature. In particular S‐palmitoylation is dynamically regulated by two opposing types of enzymes which add (palmitoyl ...

ABHD16A Negatively Regulates the Palmitoylation and Antiviral Function of IFITM Proteins
Interferon-inducible transmembrane (IFITM) proteins are small homologous proteins that are encoded by the interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), which can be strongly induced by interferon (IFN) and provide resistance to invasion by a variety of viral ...

A cluster of palmitoylated cysteines are essential for aggregation of cysteine-string protein mutants that cause neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis [PDF]
Autosomal-dominant adult-onset neuronal cero id lipofuscinosis (ANCL) is caused by mutation of the DNAJC5 gene encoding cysteine string protein alpha (CSP α ). The disease- causing mutations, which result in substituti on of leucine-115 with an arginine (

ATP-independent Control of Vac8 Palmitoylation by a SNARE Subcomplex on Yeast Vacuoles [PDF]
Yeast vacuole fusion requires palmitoylated Vac8. We previously showed that Vac8 acylation occurs early in the fusion reaction, is blocked by antibodies against Sec18 (yeast N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein (NSF)), and is mediated by the R-SNARE

Palmitoylated ras proteins traffic through recycling endosomes to the plasma membrane during exocytosis [PDF]
Ras proteins regulate cell growth, death, and differentiation, and it is well established that this functional versatility is accomplished through their different subcellular localizations.
