Quantitative analysis of PPT1 interactome in human neuroblastoma cells [PDF]
Mutations in the CLN1 gene that encodes Palmitoyl protein thioesterase 1 (PPT1) or CLN1, cause Infantile NCL (INCL, MIM#256730). PPT1 removes long fatty acid chains such as palmitate from modified cysteine residues of proteins. The data shown here result

PPT1 inhibition enhances the antitumor activity of anti–PD-1 antibody in melanoma [PDF]
New strategies are needed to enhance the efficacy of anti–programmed cell death protein antibody (anti–PD-1 Ab) in cancer. Here, we report that inhibiting palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 1 (PPT1), a target of chloroquine derivatives like ...

Reversible Cysteine Acylation Regulates the Activity of Human Palmitoyl-Protein Thioesterase 1 (PPT1). [PDF]
Mutations in the depalmitoylating enzyme gene, PPT1, cause the infantile form of Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL), an early onset neurodegenerative disease.

Dimeric quinacrines as chemical tools to identify PPT1, a new regulator of autophagy in cancer cells [PDF]
DQ661 is a novel dimeric quinacrine that affects multiple lysosomal functions (autophagy and macropinocytosis) and mTORC1 (mechanistic target of rapamycin) activity by specifically targeting protein-palmitoyl thioesterase 1 (PPT1).

High PPT1 expression predicts poor clinical outcome and PPT1 inhibitor DC661 enhances sorafenib sensitivity in hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
Background Adaptive resistance and side effects of sorafenib treatment result in unsatisfied survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

GABAAR-PPT1 palmitoylation homeostasis controls synaptic transmission and circuitry oscillation
The infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, also called CLN1 disease, is a fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by mutations in the CLN1 gene encoding palmitoyl protein thioesterase 1 (PPT1).
