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.

The role of s-palmitoylation in neurological diseases: implication for zDHHC family. [PDF]
S-palmitoylation is a reversible posttranslational modification, and the palmitoylation reaction in human-derived cells is mediated by the zDHHC family, which is composed of S-acyltransferase enzymes that possess the DHHC (Asp-His-His-Cys) structural domain.

S-palmitoylation coordinates the trafficking of ATG9A to mediate autophagy initiation. [PDF]
Macroautophagy (hereafter autophagy), a major intracellular catabolic process, is evolutionarily conserved from yeast to mammals and is associated with a broad range of human diseases. Autophagy is morphologically characterized by the formation of double-membrane autophagosomes.

S-Palmitoylation and S-Oleoylation of Rabbit and Pig Sarcolipin [PDF]
Sarcolipin (SLN) is a regulatory peptide present in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) from skeletal muscle of animals. We find that native rabbit SLN is modified by a fatty acid anchor on Cys-9 with a palmitic acid in about 60% and, surprisingly, an oleic acid in the remaining 40%. SLN used for co-crystallization with SERCA1a (Winther, A.

S-palmitoylation determines TMEM55B-dependent positioning of lysosomes
ABSTRACT The spatiotemporal cellular distribution of lysosomes depends on active transport mainly driven by microtubule motors such as kinesins and dynein. Different protein complexes attach these molecular motors to their vesicular cargo. TMEM55B (also known as PIP4P1), as an integral lysosomal membrane protein, is a component of such a

Cytoplasmic tail determines the membrane trafficking and localization of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein
The spike (S) glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 mediates viral entry through associating with ACE2 on host cells. Intracellular trafficking and palmitoylation of S protein are required for its function.

KAT7‐acetylated and cytoplasm‐translocated G‐protein GαS enhances IL‐6 effect and drives HCC progenitor cell progression. Abstract Background and Aims Hepatocarcinogenesis goes through HCC progenitor cells (HcPCs) to fully established HCC, and the mechanisms driving the development of HcPCs are still largely unknown.
