Fatty acid acylation of proteins: specific roles for palmitic, myristic and caprylic acids

Oilseeds and fats, crops and lipids, 2016
Fatty acid acylation of proteins corresponds to the co- or post-translational covalent linkage of an acyl-CoA, derived from a fatty acid, to an amino-acid residue of the substrate protein.

The Modus Operandi of Hydrogen Sulfide(H₂S)-Dependent Protein Persulfidation in Higher Plants

Antioxidants, 2021
Protein persulfidation is a post-translational modification (PTM) mediated by hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which affects the thiol group of cysteine residues from target proteins and can have a positive, negative or zero impact on protein function.

Chemical Bond‐Orchestrated Energy Depletion to Augment Lung Cancer Chemo‐Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study grafted dichloroacetic acid (DCA) into perylenediimide (PDI) skeleton via ionic or covalent bond to create novel metabolic agent PDIC‐AC and PDIC‐NAC, explicitly elaborated the underlying energy metabolism and therapeutic mechanism, and developed a promising strategy for energy metabolism‐targeting chemo‐immunotherapy by chemical bond ...

Nitro Reduction‐Based RNA Control and Ultrafast Release

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A chemical RNA caging–uncaging strategy based on nitro reduction is described. Nitroaryl groups introduced via acylation temporarily block the functions of diverse RNAs in vitro and in living cells. Treatment with a diboronic acid–bipyridine mixture rapidly reduces the nitro groups, releasing RNAs and restoring their activity.

Drought Stress Mediated Changes in Food Crops: Mechanisms and Remediation Strategies

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents a multi‐scale framework for flavonoid‐mediated drought tolerance in staple food crops, integrating ROS redox regulation, antioxidant defense, rhizosphere microbial interactions, and sustainable agronomic practices. This interdisciplinary model provides core insights to develop climate‐resilient cropping systems and enhance global ...

Sequestering sequestosome 1 via S-acylation in autophagy, Huntington disease, and beyond

Autophagy Reports
Protein mislocalization and aggregation are hallmark features in neurodegeneration. As proteins mislocalize, proteostasis deficiency and protein aggregation typically follow.

Metabolic Memory in Cardiovascular Disease: Encoding, Propagation, and Therapeutic Targeting

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cardiovascular risk often persists after metabolic abnormalities are corrected. This conceptual Review frames such persistence as metabolic memory, encoded through a narrowing therapeutic window from reversible marks to irreversible damage, with continuous input from peripheral organs.

Uncoupling Type I Interferon Benefits From Inflammatory Toxicity: Transformer‐Prioritized Precision Agonists for Potent and Safer Cancer Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A Transformer‐based AI framework, DLINP, screens millions of compounds to identify Co68, a cobalt‐pincer organometallic complex that biases TLR4‐MD2 signaling toward antitumor interferon activation while suppressing inflammatory toxicity through an early TLR4‐SYK‐STAT1 axis.

Bioinformatics and Expression Profiling of the DHHC-CRD S-Acyltransferases Reveal Their Roles in Growth and Stress Response in Woodland Strawberry (Fragaria vesca)

Plants
Protein S-acyl transferases (PATs) are a family of enzymes that catalyze protein S-acylation, a post-translational lipid modification involved in protein membrane targeting, trafficking, stability, and protein–protein interaction.

Rescue of aberrant huntingtin palmitoylation ameliorates mutant huntingtin-induced toxicity

Neurobiology of Disease, 2021
Huntington disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG expansion in the HTT gene that codes for an elongated polyglutamine tract in the huntingtin (HTT) protein.
