S-Palmitoylation of Synaptic Proteins in Neuronal Plasticity in Normal and Pathological Brains
Protein lipidation is a common post-translational modification of proteins that plays an important role in human physiology and pathology. One form of protein lipidation, S-palmitoylation, involves the addition of a 16-carbon fatty acid (palmitate) onto ...

Protein S -palmitoylation in immunity [PDF]
S -palmitoylation is a reversible posttranslational lipid modification of proteins. It controls protein activity, stability, trafficking and protein–protein interactions. Recent global profiling of immune cells and targeted analysis have identified many S -palmitoylated ...

Palmitoylation-induced aggregation of cysteine-string protein mutants that cause neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis [PDF]
Recently, mutations in the DNAJC5 gene encoding cysteine-string protein alpha (CSPα) were identified to cause the neurodegenerative disorder adult-onset neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis.

Proteomic identification of palmitoylated proteins [PDF]
A proteomic method that purifies and identifies palmitoylated proteins from complex protein extracts is described. Using the fatty acid exchange labeling chemistry (described in the preceding report), palmitoyl modifications are exchanged for biotinylated compounds, allowing the subset of palmitoyl-proteins to be affinity-purified and then identified ...

PPT1 regulation of HSP90α depalmitoylation participates in the pathogenesis of hyperandrogenism
Summary: Ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) in the follicle are the important mediator of steroidogenesis and foster oocyte maturation. Evidences suggested that the function of GCs could be regulated by S-palmitoylation.

Biochemical Characterization of a Palmitoyl Acyltransferase Activity That Palmitoylates Myristoylated Proteins [PDF]
Dynamic regulation of signal transduction by reversible palmitoylation-depalmitoylation cycles has been recently described. However, further understanding of fatty acylation reactions has been hampered by our lack of knowledge about the specific transferases and thioesterases involved.

Function of Protein S-Palmitoylation in Immunity and Immune-Related Diseases
Protein S-palmitoylation is a covalent and reversible lipid modification that specifically targets cysteine residues within many eukaryotic proteins. In mammalian cells, the ubiquitous palmitoyltransferases (PATs) and serine hydrolases, including acyl ...

Palmitoylation of virus proteins [PDF]
AbstractThe article summarises the results of more than 30 years of research on palmitoylation (S‐acylation) of viral proteins, the post‐translational attachment of fatty acids to cysteine residues of integral and peripheral membrane proteins. Analysing viral proteins is not only important to characterise the cellular pathogens but also instrumental to

Palmitoylated proteins: purification and identification [PDF]
This proteomic protocol purifies and identifies palmitoylated proteins (i.e., S-acylated proteins) from complex protein extracts. The method relies on an acyl-biotinyl exchange chemistry in which biotin moieties are substituted for the thioester-linked protein acyl-modifications through a sequence of three in vitro chemical steps: (i) blockade of free ...

Post-translational palmitoylation of metabolic proteins
Numerous cellular proteins are post-translationally modified by addition of a lipid group to their structure, which dynamically influences the proteome by increasing hydrophobicity of proteins often impacting protein conformation, localization, stability,
