Protein Palmitoylation and Its Role in Bacterial and Viral Infections

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
S-palmitoylation is a reversible, enzymatic posttranslational modification of proteins in which palmitoyl chain is attached to a cysteine residue via a thioester linkage.

Adipocyte‐Derived Palmitic Acid Promotes Breast Cancer Malignancy via ZDHHC15‐Mediated S‐Palmitoylation of PPARγ

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Adipocyte‐derived palmitic acid induces ZDHHC15‐mediated PPARγ S‐palmitoylation at Cys159, triggering its proteasomal degradation and promoting breast cancer malignancy with rosiglitazone resistance. Inhibition of PPARγ S‐palmitoylation by 2‐bromopalmitate suppresses breast cancer progression and synergistically enhances rosiglitazone efficacy ...

Surviving Males With PORCN Variants: Expanding the Clinical, Molecular, and Mechanistic Spectrum

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
Pathogenic PORCN variants are compatible with male survival in both mosaic and non‐mosaic states, expanding the FDH/PONGOS spectrum and improving diagnosis and genetic counseling. ABSTRACT Pathogenic variants in PORCN cause focal dermal hypoplasia (FDH/Goltz syndrome), an X‐linked dominant disorder historically considered lethal in males, with milder ...

CD36‐mediated lipid rewiring in the metabolic adaptation of tumour ecosystems

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Nutrient deprivation drives a lipid‐centric shift in tumour metabolic symbiosis and signalling network. CD36 functions as a bidirectional bridge, transferring fatty acids from stromal donors (adipocytes, CAFs) to the ecosystem tumour‐ and microenvironment‐dependently.

Structural and functional investigation of the cytoplasmic domain of the Fas death receptor [PDF]

, 2015
Activation of the transmembrane death receptor Fas (CD95/APO-1) by a membrane bound ligand (FasL/CD95L) activates the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis. Intracellular Fas death domains (DDs) are induced to oligomerise enabling binding to the adaptor protein

Topology-driven discovery of transmembrane protein S-palmitoylation

Journal of Biological Chemistry
Protein S-palmitoylation is a reversible lipophilic posttranslational modification regulating diverse signaling pathways. Within transmembrane proteins (TMPs), S-palmitoylation is implicated in conditions from inflammatory disorders to respiratory viral infections.

Bio‐active designed peptide for hair keratin strengthening

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Bioactive tripeptides through in silico screening revealed KCV (Tripeptide‐132) as the most promising keratin‐targeting candidate. Experimental studies confirmed its superior hair‐strengthening performance with 44% tensile strength enhancement, 50% breakage reduction, improved surface integrity and fibre penetration.

Bridging metabolic reprogramming and targeted therapy: the critical role of S-palmitoylation in cancer

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
Metabolic reprogramming provides cancer cells with excess fatty acids (FA) to adapt to metabolic stress; however, the precise mechanisms by which these lipid substrates are converted into sustained oncogenic signaling outputs remain incompletely ...

Coordinated regulation of PIEZO2 by alternative splicing, post‐translational modification, membrane trafficking and protein partners

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Regulatory mechanisms such as alternative splicing, post‐translational modification, membrane trafficking, and protein interactions control channel gating, membrane abundance, and overall activity of PIEZO2. Proper regulation supports PIEZO2‐dependent proprioceptive, somatosensory, nociceptive, pruriceptive and interoceptive ...

The Growth Supporting Role of ZDHHC11 Is Linked to the MEF2B–BCL6 Regulatory Circuit in Burkitt Lymphoma

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 6, Page 1535-1545, 15 September 2026.
MEF2B and BCL6 have established functions in germinal center B‐cell biology and lymphomagenesis. The mechanism of MEF2B deregulation and its significance for cell survival in Burkitt lymphoma however remain unclear. This study highlights MEF2B as a crucial transcription factor in Burkitt lymphoma and suggests ZDHHC11 as an upstream regulator of MEF2B ...
