Decreased protein S-palmitoylation in dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in schizophrenia [PDF]
Recent reports suggest abnormalities of neurotransmitter receptor trafficking, targeting, dendritic localization, recycling, and degradation in the brain in schizophrenia. We hypothesized that a potential explanation for these findings may be abnormal posttranslational modifications that influence intracellular targeting and trafficking of proteins ...

Cancer cell‐intrinsic cholesterol promotes the S‐palmitoylation of SP1, increasing its nuclear translocation and driving the transcription and secretion of MDK, which in turn facilitates the differentiation of macrophages into a lipid‐associated phenotype.

Local and substrate-specific S-palmitoylation determines subcellular localization of Gαo [PDF]
ABSTRACTPeripheral membrane proteins (PMPs) associate with cellular membranes through post-translational modifications like S-palmitoylation. The Golgi apparatus is generally viewed as the transitory station where palmitoyl acyltransferases (PATs) modify PMPs, which are then transported to their ultimate destinations such as the plasma membrane (PM ...

Palmitoylation of ACE2 at Cys141, Cys344, and Cys498 facilitates its extracellular vesicles localization [PDF]
Objective To identify S-palmitoylation sites on angiotensin-converting enzyme 2(ACE2), the cellular receptor for severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus(SARS-CoV) and SARS-CoV-2, and to investigate the functional relevance of these modifications ...

Redox regulation of type-I inositol trisphosphate receptors in intact mammalian cells. [PDF]
A sensitization of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R)-mediated Ca2+ release is associated with oxidative stress in multiple cell types. These effects are thought to be mediated by alterations in the redox state of critical thiols in the IP3R ...

Elevated exogenous palmitic acid promotes the S‐palmitoylation of SRPK1 in endothelial cells, a dynamic process governed by ZDHHC24 and APT1. This post‐translational modification strengthens the interaction between SRPK1 and the E3 ubiquitin ligase MIB1, thereby facilitating the proteasomal degradation of SRPK1.

Protein palmitoylation in cancer: molecular functions and therapeutic potential
Protein S‐palmitoylation (hereinafter referred to as protein palmitoylation) is a reversible lipid posttranslational modification catalyzed by the zinc finger DHHC‐type containing (ZDHHC) protein family.
