Targeting LYPLAL1-mediated cGAS depalmitoylation enhances the response to anti-tumor immunotherapy
Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) binds pathogenic and other cytoplasmic double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) to catalyze the synthesis of cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), which serves as the secondary messenger to activate the STING pathway and innate immune responses.

Schematic illustration of SS‐induced ferroptosis through targeting APT2‐mediated STAT3 palmitoylation in GBC cells. ABSTRACT Gallbladder cancer (GBC), the most prevalent and lethal biliary tract malignancy, lacks effective therapeutic strategies. Solasonine (SS), a bioactive steroidal alkaloid derived from Solanum nigrum L, exhibits antitumor activity ...

S-palmitoylation and depalmitoylation at the interface of animal virus-host interactions
Reversible protein S-palmitoylation, mediated by protein acyl transferases (PATs) and depalmitoylases, is essential for regulating numerous biological processes, including subcellular localization, protein stability, enzymatic activity, and protein ...

Regulator of Ras Depalmitoylation and Retrograde Trafficking: A New Hat for FKBP [PDF]
In this issue of Molecular Cell, Ahearn et al. (2011) identified FKBP12 as a novel regulator of Ras signaling through its modulation of depalmitoylation of H-Ras and its recycling from plasma membrane to the Golgi.

Metabolic Labeling of Ras with Tritiated Palmitate to Monitor Palmitoylation and Depalmitoylation [PDF]
Metabolic labeling with tritiated palmitate is a direct method for monitoring posttranslational modification of Ras proteins with this fatty acid. Advances in intensifying screens have allowed for the easy visualization of tritium without the need for extended exposure times.
