Protein s-acylation - Open Access .click

Biochemical Society Transactions, 2010
A family of 23 DHHC (Asp-His-His-Cys) proteins that function as mammalian S-acyltransferases has been identified, reinvigorating the study of protein S-acylation. Recent studies have continued to reveal how S-acylation affects target proteins, and have provided glimpses of how DHHC-substrate specificity might be achieved.

S-Acylation of Proteins

2019
Palmitoylation or S-acylation is the posttranslational attachment of fatty acids to cysteine residues and is common among integral and peripheral membrane proteins. Palmitoylated proteins have been found in every eukaryotic cell type examined (yeast, insect, and vertebrate cells), as well as in viruses grown in these cells.

Protein S-Acylation in Pulmonary Disease

Free Radical Biology and Medicine, 2016
Obesity is a major risk factor for asthma. Obese asthmatics exhibit poor symptom control, frequent exacerbation, and increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The consumption of a western diet, high in fat and carbohydrates, can both induce obesity and increase ROS.
