Dynamic acylome reveals metabolite driven modifications in Syntrophomonas wolfei

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Syntrophomonas wolfei is an anaerobic syntrophic microbe that degrades short-chain fatty acids to acetate, hydrogen, and/or formate. This thermodynamically unfavorable process proceeds through a series of reactive acyl-Coenzyme A species (RACS). In other

Detection of Heterogeneous Protein S-Acylation in Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The use of synthetically synthesized azide and alkyne fatty acid analogs coupled with bioorthogonal Cu(I)-catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction-based detection methods to study protein S-acylation reactions has replaced the traditional method of using in vivo metabolic radiolabeling with tritiated palmitic acid and has greatly ...

Therapeutic targeting of protein S-acylation for the treatment of disease [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Society Transactions, 2019
The post-translational modification protein S-acylation (commonly known as palmitoylation) plays a critical role in regulating a wide range of biological processes including cell growth, cardiac contractility, synaptic plasticity, endocytosis, vesicle trafficking, membrane transport and biased-receptor signalling.

Dynamic Characterization of Protein and Posttranslational Modification Levels in Mycobacterial Cholesterol Catabolism

open access: yesmSystems, 2020
Cholesterol of the host macrophage membrane is vital for mycobacterial infection, replication, and persistence. During chronic infection within host lung tissues, cholesterol facilitates the phagocytosis of mycobacteria into macrophages.

Assaying protein palmitoylation in plants

open access: yesPlant Methods, 2008
Background Protein S-acylation (also known as palmitoylation) is the reversible post-translational addition of acyl lipids to cysteine residues in proteins through a thioester bond. It allows strong association with membranes.

Protein S-acylation: Pathological mechanisms and novel therapeutic targets for diabetic complications. [PDF]

open access: yesChin Herb Med
Diabetes involves multi-organ complications that seriously threaten human life and health, and has become a major public health problem of global concern. Unfortunately, clinical management strategies for diabetic complications are still in their "infancy", restricted by a limited understanding of their complex pathological mechanism.

Polyglutamine Tract Expansion Increases S-Nitrosylation of Huntingtin and Ataxin-1. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Expansion of the polyglutamine (polyQ) tract in the huntingtin (Htt) protein causes Huntington's disease (HD), a fatal inherited movement disorder linked to neurodegeneration in the striatum and cortex.

A novel yeast-based high-throughput method for the identification of protein palmitoylation inhibitors

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2021
Protein S-acylation or palmitoylation is a widespread post-translational modification that consists of the addition of a lipid molecule to cysteine residues of proteins through a thioester bond.

Metabolically controlled histone H4K5 acylation/acetylation ratio drives BRD4 genomic distribution

open access: yesCell Reports, 2021
Summary: In addition to acetylation, histones are modified by a series of competing longer-chain acylations. Most of these acylation marks are enriched and co-exist with acetylation on active gene regulatory elements.

S-acylation dependent post-translational cross-talk regulates large conductance calcium- and voltage- activated potassium (BK) channels

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2014
Mechanisms that control surface expression and/or activity of large conductance calcium-activated potassium (BK) channels are important determinants of their (patho)physiological function.
