S-Palmitoylation has been widely noticed and studied in a variety of diseases. Increasing evidence suggests that S-palmitoylation modification also plays a key role in Glioblastoma (GBM). The zDHHC family, as an important member of S-palmitoyltransferases, has received extensive attention for its function and mechanism in GBM which is one of the most common primary malignant tumors of the brain and has an adverse prognosis.

Cholesterol metabolism reprogramming plays essential roles in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, precisely how cholesterol metabolism is dysregulated is not clear. Here, we show that the palmitoyltransferase ZDHHC3 and depalmitoylase ABHD17A regulate HCC cell cholesterol biosynthesis by dynamically S-acylating SREBP cleavage-activating protein (SCAP).

The downregulation of Cadm4 (Cell adhesion molecular 4) is a prominent feature in demyelination diseases, yet, the underlying molecular mechanism remains elusive. Here, we reveal that Cadm4 undergoes specific palmitoylation at cysteine-347 (C347), which is crucial for its stable localization on the plasma membrane (PM). Mutation of C347 to alanine (C347A), blocking palmitoylation, causes Cadm4 internalization from the PM and subsequent degradation.

The Envelope (E) protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an integral structural protein in the virus particles. However, its role in the assembly of virions and the underlying molecular mechanisms are yet to be elucidated, including whether the function of E protein is regulated by post-translational modifications. In the present study, we report that SARS-CoV-2 E protein is palmitoylated at C40, C43, and C44 by palmitoyltransferases zDHHC3, 6, 12, 15, and 20.

The oncogenic fusion protein promyelocytic leukemia/retinoic acid receptor alpha (PML/RARα) is critical for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). PML/RARα initiates APL by blocking the differentiation and increasing the self-renewal of leukemic cells. The standard clinical therapies all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO), which induce PML/RARα proteolysis, have dramatically improved the prognosis of APL patients.
