ZDHHC7-mediated S -palmitoylation of ATG16L1 facilitates LC3 lipidation and autophagosome formation [PDF]
Macroautophagy/autophagy is a fundamental cellular catabolic process that delivers cytoplasmic components into double-membrane vesicles called autophagosomes, which then fuse with lysosomes and their contents are degraded.

Amino-terminal cysteine residues of RGS16 are required for palmitoylation and modulation of G(i)- and G(q)-mediated signaling [PDF]
RGS proteins (Regulators of G protein Signaling) are a recently discovered family of proteins that accelerate the GTPase activity of heterotrimeric G protein α subunits of the i, q, and 12 classes.

Identification of Giardia lamblia DHHC Proteins and the Role of Protein S-palmitoylation in the Encystation Process [PDF]
Protein S-palmitoylation, a hydrophobic post-translational modification, is performed by protein acyltransferases that have a common DHHC Cys-rich domain (DHHC proteins), and provides a regulatory switch for protein membrane association. In this work, we

Attenuated palmitoylation of serotonin receptor 5-HT1A affects receptor function and contributes to depression-like behaviors [PDF]
The serotonergic system and in particular serotonin 1A receptor (5-HT1AR) are implicated in major depressive disorder (MDD). Here we demonstrated that 5-HT1AR is palmitoylated in human and rodent brains, and identified ZDHHC21 as a major palmitoyl ...

Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer. However, it is not well known how metabolism affects cancer progression. We identified that metabolic enzyme acyl-CoA oxidase 1 (ACOX1) suppresses colorectal cancer (CRC) progression by regulating palmitic

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

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) almost invariably acquires an invasive phenotype, resulting in limited therapeutic options. Protein palmitoylation markedly affects tumorigenesis and malignant progression in GBM.

palmitoylation, a reversible post-translational modification, is initiated by the DHHC family of palmitoyltransferases and reversed by several acyl protein thioesterases.

Acid Sphingomyelinase Regulates the Localization and Trafficking of Palmitoylated Proteins [PDF]
In human, loss of Acid Sphingomeylinase (ASM/SMPD1) causes Niemann-Pick Disease, type A. ASM hydrolyzes sphingomyelins to produce ceramides but protein targets of ASM remain largely unclear. ...

Protein palmitoylation—a lipid modification in which one or more cysteine thiols on a substrate protein are modified to form a thioester with a palmitoyl group—is a significant post-translational biological process. This process regulates the trafficking,
