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,

Posttranslational modifications of GLUT4 affect its subcellular localization and translocation [PDF]
The facilitative glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) is expressed in adipose and muscle and plays a vital role in whole body glucose homeostasis. In the absence of insulin, only ~1% of cellular GLUT4 is present at the plasma membrane, with the vast ...

Membrane-associated proteins in giardia lamblia [PDF]
The manner in which membrane-associated proteins interact with the membrane defines their subcellular fate and function. This interaction relies on the characteristics of the proteins, their journey after synthesis, and their interaction with other ...

Novel components of the Toxoplasma inner membrane complex revealed by BioID. [PDF]
UNLABELLED:The inner membrane complex (IMC) of Toxoplasma gondii is a peripheral membrane system that is composed of flattened alveolar sacs that underlie the plasma membrane, coupled to a supporting cytoskeletal network. The IMC plays important roles in

ER-Mitochondria contact sites : a new regulator of cellular calcium flux comes into play [PDF]
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria membrane contacts are hotspots for calcium signaling. In this issue, Raturi et al. (2016. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201512077) show that the thioredoxin TMX1 inhibits the calcium pump SERCA2b at ...

Mechanisms and functional implications of ZDHHC5 in cellular physiology and disease
Post-translational lipid modification by palmitoylation is a reversible process crucial for maintaining cellular functionality. The palmitoyl acyltransferase zinc finger Asp-His-His-Cys motif-containing 5 (ZDHHC5) has garnered significant attention due ...

Multiple palmitoyl acyltransferases modify DAT palmitoylation (803.5)
The dopamine transporter (DAT) mediates the reuptake of synaptic dopamine, thus regulating dopaminergic neurotransmission. DAT undergoes palmitoylation in which a saturated 16‐carbon palmitate group is linked to cysteine via a thioester bond. Palmitoylation regulates diverse aspects of neuronal protein trafficking and function, but its role in DAT ...

Palmitoylation of solute carriers
Post-translational modifications are an important mechanism in the regulation of protein expression, function, and degradation. Well-known post-translational modifications are phosphorylation, glycosylation, and ubiquitination. However, lipid modifications, including myristoylation, prenylation, and palmitoylation, are poorly studied.

Differential palmitoylation of the endosomal SNAREs syntaxin 7 and syntaxin 8*[S]
Palmitoylation is a posttranslational modification that regulates protein trafficking and stability. In this study we investigated whether the endosomal soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNARE) proteins syntaxin 7 ...
