Protein S-palmitoylation modification: implications in tumor and tumor immune microenvironment

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
Protein S-palmitoylation is a reversible post-translational lipid modification that involves the addition of a 16-carbon palmitoyl group to a protein cysteine residue via a thioester linkage.

Protein palmitoylation in cancer: molecular functions and therapeutic potential

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, 2023
Protein S‐palmitoylation (hereinafter referred to as protein palmitoylation) is a reversible lipid posttranslational modification catalyzed by the zinc finger DHHC‐type containing (ZDHHC) protein family.

Palmitoylation-dependent regulation of GPX4 suppresses ferroptosis

open access: yesNature Communications
S-palmitoylation is a reversible and widespread post-translational modification, but its role in the regulation of ferroptosis has been poorly understood. Here, we elucidate that GPX4, an essential regulator of ferroptosis, is reversibly palmitoylated on

Protein palmitoylation: biological functions, disease, and therapeutic targets

open access: yesMedComm
Protein palmitoylation, a reversible post‐translational lipid modification, is catalyzed by the ZDHHC family of palmitoyltransferases and reversed by several acyl protein thioesterases, regulating protein localization, accumulation, secretion, and ...

Neural palmitoyl-proteomics reveals dynamic synaptic palmitoylation [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2008
Palmitoylation regulates diverse aspects of neuronal protein trafficking and function. Here a global characterization of rat neural palmitoyl-proteomes identifies most of the known neural palmitoyl proteins-68 in total, plus more than 200 new palmitoyl-protein candidates, with further testing confirming palmitoylation for 21 of these candidates.

Role of the transmembrane domain in severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus 2 spike for palmitoylation and membrane fusion. [PDF]

open access: yesProtein Sci
Abstract Palmitoylation is a reversible post‐translational modification that enhances protein hydrophobicity and regulates cellular functions such as trafficking and signaling. In humans, this modification is catalyzed by 23 DHHC enzymes, but the mechanisms by which they recognize their substrates remain unclear.

Malignant progression of liver cancer progenitors requires lysine acetyltransferase 7–acetylated and cytoplasm‐translocated G protein GαS

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
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.

Palmitoylation of Desmoglein 2 Is a Regulator of Assembly Dynamics and Protein Turnover. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Desmosomes are prominent adhesive junctions present between many epithelial cells as well as cardiomyocytes. The mechanisms controlling desmosome assembly and remodeling in epithelial and cardiac tissue are poorly understood.
