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

, 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.

Amino-terminal cysteine residues of RGS16 are required for palmitoylation and modulation of G(i)- and G(q)-mediated signaling [PDF]

, 1999
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]

, 2014
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

ATP-independent Control of Vac8 Palmitoylation by a SNARE Subcomplex on Yeast Vacuoles [PDF]

, 2005
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

On the mechanism of protein palmitoylation [PDF]

EMBO reports, 2004
Protein palmitoylation or, more specifically, S-acylation is a reversible post-translational lipid modification. Despite the identification of several proteins that are altered in this way, our understanding of the enzymology of this process has been hampered by the lack of well-characterized acyltransferases.

Protein Palmitoylation Regulates Cell Survival by Modulating XBP1 Activity in Glioblastoma Multiforme

Molecular Therapy: Oncolytics, 2020
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) almost invariably acquires an invasive phenotype, resulting in limited therapeutic options. Protein palmitoylation markedly affects tumorigenesis and malignant progression in GBM.

Protein Palmitoylation Modification During Viral Infection and Detection Methods of Palmitoylated Proteins

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
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,

Palmitoylation promotes chaperone-mediated autophagic degradation of NLRP3 to modulate inflammation

Autophagy, 2023
The critical intracellular pattern recognition receptor NLRP3 senses pathogenic organisms and endogenous danger signals via forming inflammasomes to orchestrate innate immune responses.

Acid Sphingomyelinase Regulates the Localization and Trafficking of Palmitoylated Proteins [PDF]

, 2019
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. ...

S-palmitoylation and the regulation of NCX1 [PDF]

Channels, 2015
Investigations into reversible cysteine acylation (S-palmitoylation) have enjoyed a renaissance recently, thanks to numerous techniques that have improved the sensitivity of detection above the tra...
