Identification of Giardia lamblia DHHC Proteins and the Role of Protein S-palmitoylation in the Encystation Process [PDF]
Protein S-palmitoylation, a hydrophobic post-translational modification, is performed by protein acyltransferases that have a common DHHC Cys-rich domain (DHHC proteins), and provides a regulatory switch for protein membrane association. In this work, we

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.

Steroid hormone rapid signaling: The pivotal role of S-Palmitoylation [PDF]
Nuclear receptors (NRs) comprise a large family of proteins essential to manipulate various aspects of human biology. The class III of the NR family includes steroid hormone receptors (SHRs) involved in embryonic development, maintenance of differentiated cellular phenotypes, metabolism, and cell death.
