DHHC proteins catalyze the reversible S-acylation of proteins at cysteine residues, a modification important for regulating protein localization, stability, and activity. However, little is known about the kinetic mechanism of DHHC proteins. A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), fluorescent peptide-based assay for protein S-acylation activity was developed to characterize mammalian DHHC2 and DHHC3. Time courses and substrate saturation curves allowed the determination of V(max) and K(m) values for both the peptide N-myristoylated-GCG and palmitoyl-coenzyme A. DHHC proteins acylate themselves upon incubation with palmitoyl-CoA, which is hypothesized to reflect a transient acyl enzyme transfer intermediate. Single turnover assays with DHHC2 and DHHC3 demonstrated that a radiolabeled acyl group on the enzyme transferred to the protein substrate, consistent with a two-step ping-pong mechanism. Enzyme autoacylation and acyltransfer to substrate displayed the same acyl-CoA specificities, further supporting a two-step mechanism. Interestingly, DHHC2 efficiently transferred acyl chains 14 carbons and longer, whereas DHHC3 activity was greatly reduced by acyl-CoAs with chain lengths longer than 16 carbons. The rate and extent of autoacylation of DHHC3, as well as the rate of acyl chain transfer to protein substrate, were reduced with stearoyl-CoA when compared with palmitoyl-CoA. This is the first observation of lipid substrate specificity among DHHC proteins and may account for the differential S-acylation of proteins observed in cells. 相似文献

Lck is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase of the Src family that is essential for T cell activation. Dual N-terminal acylation of Lck with myristate (N-acylation) and palmitate (S-acylation) is essential for its membrane association and function. Reversible S-acylation of Lck is observed in vivo and may function as a control mechanism. Here we identify the DHHC family protein S-acyltransferase DHHC2 as an enzyme capable of palmitoylating of Lck in T cells. Reducing the DHHC2 level in Jurkat T cells using siRNA causes decreased Lck S-acylation and partial dislocation from membranes, and conversely overexpression of DHHC2 increases S-acylation of an Lck surrogate, LckN10-GFP. DHHC2 localizes primarily to the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus suggesting that it is involved in S-acylation of newly-synthesized or recycling Lck involved in T cell signalling. 相似文献

The formation of dimers or higher-order oligomers is a property of numerous integral membrane proteins, including ion channels, transporters, and receptors. In this study, we examined whether members of the DHHC-S-acyltransferase family oligomerize in intact cells and in vitro. DHHC-S-acyltransferases are integral membrane proteins that catalyze the addition of palmitate to cysteine residues on proteins at the cytoplasmic face of cell membranes. Bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) experiments revealed that DHHC2 or DHHC3 (Golgi-specific DHHC zinc finger protein (GODZ)) self-associate when expressed in HEK-293 cells. Homomultimer formation was confirmed by coimmunoprecipitation. Purified DHHC3 resolved predominately as a monomer and dimer on blue native polyacrylamide gels. In intact cells and in vitro, catalytically inactive DHHC proteins displayed a greater propensity to form dimers. BRET signals were higher for the catalytically inactive DHHC2 or DHHC3 than their wild-type counterparts. DHHC3 BRET in cell membranes was decreased by the addition of its lipid substrate palmitoyl-CoA, a treatment that results in autoacylation of the enzyme. Enzyme activity of a covalently linked DHHC3 dimer was less than that of the monomeric form, suggesting that enzyme activity may be modulated by the oligomerization status of the protein. 相似文献

ClipR-59 interacts with Akt and regulates Akt compartmentalization and Glut4 membrane trafficking in a plasma membrane association-dependent manner. The association of ClipR-59 with plasma membrane is mediated by ClipR-59 palmitoylation at Cys534 and Cys535. To understand the regulation of ClipR-59 palmitoylation, we have examined all known mammalian DHHC palmitoyltransferases with respect to their ability to promote ClipR-59 palmitoylation. We found that, among 23 mammalian DHHC palmitoyltransferases, DHHC17 is the major ClipR-59 palmitoyltransferase, as evidenced by the fact that DHHC17 interacted with ClipR-59 and palmitoylated ClipR-59 at Cys534 and Cys535. By palmitoylating ClipR-59, DHHC17 directly regulates ClipR-59 plasma membrane association, as ectopic expression of DHHC17 increased whereas silencing of DHHC17 reduced the levels of ClipR-59 associated with plasma membrane. We have also examined the role of DHHC17 in Akt signaling and found that silencing of DHHC17 in 3T3-L1 adipocytes decreased the levels of Akt as well as ClipR-59 on the plasma membrane and impaired insulin-dependent Glut4 membrane translocation. We suggest that DHHC17 is a ClipR-59 palmitoyltransferase that modulates ClipR-59 plasma membrane binding, thereby regulating Akt signaling and Glut4 membrane translocation in adipocytes. 相似文献

Covalent lipid modifications mediate the membrane attachment and biological activity of Ras proteins. All Ras isoforms are farnesylated and carboxyl-methylated at the terminal cysteine; H-Ras and N-Ras are further modified by palmitoylation. Yeast Ras is palmitoylated by the DHHC cysteine-rich domain-containing protein Erf2 in a complex with Erf4. Here we report that H- and N-Ras are palmitoylated by a human protein palmitoyltransferase encoded by the ZDHHC9 and GCP16 genes. DHHC9 is an integral membrane protein that contains a DHHC cysteine-rich domain. GCP16 encodes a Golgi-localized membrane protein that has limited sequence similarity to yeast Erf4. DHHC9 and GCP16 co-distribute in the Golgi apparatus, a location consistent with the site of mammalian Ras palmitoylation in vivo. Like yeast Erf2.Erf4, DHHC9 and GCP16 form a protein complex, and DHHC9 requires GCP16 for protein fatty acyltransferase activity and protein stability. Purified DHHC9.GCP16 exhibits substrate specificity, palmitoylating H- and N-Ras but not myristoylated G (alphai1) or GAP-43, proteins with N-terminal palmitoylation motifs. Hence, DHHC9.GCP16 displays the properties of a functional human ortholog of the yeast Ras palmitoyltransferase. 相似文献

S-acylation is a reversible posttranslational modification, where a long-chain fatty acid is attached to a protein through a thioester linkage. Being the most abundant form of lipidation in humans, a family of twenty-three human zDHHC integral membrane enzymes catalyze this reaction. Previous structures of the apo and lipid bound zDHHCs shed light into the molecular details of the active site and binding pocket. Here, we delve further into the details of fatty acyl-CoA recognition by zDHHC acyltransferases using insights from the recent structure. We additionally review indirect evidence that suggests acyl-CoAs do not diffuse freely in the cytosol, but are channeled into specific pathways, and comment on the suggested mechanisms for fatty acyl-CoA compartmentalization and intracellular transport, to finally speculate about the potential mechanisms that underlie fatty acyl-CoA delivery to zDHHC enzymes. 相似文献

Nef, an accessory protein from human immunodeficiency virus type 1, is critical for optimal viral replication and pathogenesis. Here, we analyzed the influence of full-length myristoylated and nonmyristoylated Nef on artificial lipid bilayers composed of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC). By means of cosedimentation assays, we found that neither nonmyristoylated nor myristoylated Nef stably binds to POPC unilamellar vesicles. Time-resolved ellipsometry rather indicates that the proteins perturb the assembly of POPC planar bilayers. This observation was corroborated by fluorescence and scanning force microscopy, suggesting that membrane disordering occurs upon interaction of full-length myristoylated and nonmyristoylated Nef with planar POPC membranes immobilized on SiO2 surfaces resulting in loss of material from the surface. The membrane perturbations were further investigated by vesicle release experiments, demonstrating that the disordering results in defects through which the fluorophor carboxyfluorescein can pass. From these results, we conclude that Nef is capable of disordering and perturbing lipid membranes and that the myristoyl group is not the decisive determinant for the action of the protein on lipid membranes. 相似文献

TIP GROWTH DEFECTIVE1 (TIP1) of Arabidopsis thaliana affects cell growth throughout the plant and has a particularly strong effect on root hair growth. We have identified TIP1 by map-based cloning and complementation of the mutant phenotype. TIP1 encodes an ankyrin repeat protein with a DHHC Cys-rich domain that is expressed in roots, leaves, inflorescence stems, and floral tissue. Two homologues of TIP1 in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and human (Homo sapiens) have been shown to have S-acyl transferase (also known as palmitoyl transferase) activity. S-acylation is a reversible hydrophobic protein modification that offers swift, flexible control of protein hydrophobicity and affects protein association with membranes, signal transduction, and vesicle trafficking within cells. We show that TIP1 binds the acyl group palmitate, that it can rescue the morphological, temperature sensitivity, and yeast casein kinase2 localization defects of the yeast S-acyl transferase mutant akr1Delta, and that inhibition of acylation in wild-type Arabidopsis roots reproduces the Tip1- mutant phenotype. Our results demonstrate that S-acylation is essential for normal plant cell growth and identify a plant S-acyl transferase, an essential research tool if we are to understand how this important, reversible lipid modification operates in plant cells. 相似文献

Signal transduction from G-protein coupled receptors to MAPK cascades through heterotrimeric G-proteins has been described for many eukaryotic systems. One of the best-characterised examples is the yeast pheromone response pathway, which is negatively regulated by AKR1. AKR1-like proteins are present in all eukaryotes and contain a DHHC domain and six ankyrin repeats. Whilst the DHHC domain dependant S-acyl transferase (palmitoyl transferase) function of AKR1 is well documented it is not known whether the ankyrin repeats are also required for this activity. Here we show that the ankyrin repeats of AKR1 are required for full suppression of the yeast pheromone response pathway, by sequestration of the Gβγ dimer, and act independently of AKR1 S-acylation function. Importantly, the functions provided by the AKR1 ankyrin repeats and DHHC domain are not required on the same molecule to fully restore WT phenotypes and function. We also show that AKR1 molecules are S-acylated at locations other than the DHHC cysteine, increasing the abundance of AKR1 in the cell. Our results have important consequences for studies of AKR1 function, including recent attempts to characterise S-acylation enzymology and kinetics. Proteins similar to AKR1 are found in all eukaryotes and our results have broad implications for future work on these proteins and the control of switching between Gβγ regulated pathways. 相似文献

The spike protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and other coronaviruses mediates host cell entry and is S-acylated on multiple phylogenetically conserved cysteine residues. Multiple protein acyltransferase enzymes have been reported to post-translationally modify spike proteins; however, strategies to exploit this modification are lacking. Using resin-assisted capture MS, we demonstrate that the spike protein is S-acylated in SARS-CoV-2-infected human and monkey epithelial cells. We further show that increased abundance of the acyltransferase ZDHHC5 associates with increased S-acylation of the spike protein, whereas ZDHHC5 knockout cells had a 40% reduction in the incorporation of an alkynyl-palmitate using click chemistry detection. We also found that the S-acylation of the spike protein is not limited to palmitate, as clickable versions of myristate and stearate were also labelled the protein. Yet, we observed that ZDHHC5 was only modified when incubated with alkyne-palmitate, suggesting it has specificity for this acyl-CoA, and that other ZDHHC enzymes may use additional fatty acids to modify the spike protein. Since multiple ZDHHC isoforms may modify the spike protein, we also examined the ability of the FASN inhibitor TVB-3166 to prevent S-acylation of the spike proteins of SARS-CoV-2 and human CoV-229E. We show that treating cells with TVB-3166 inhibited S-acylation of expressed spike proteins and attenuated the ability of SARS-CoV-2 and human CoV-229E to spread in vitro. Our findings further substantiate the necessity of CoV spike protein S-acylation and demonstrate that de novo fatty acid synthesis is critical for the proper S-acylation of the spike protein. 相似文献

S-palmitoylation is a reversible post-translational modification that occurs on diverse cellular proteins. Palmitoylation can affect proteins in many different ways, including regulating membrane attachment, intracellular trafficking, and membrane micro-localisation. Intracellular palmitoylation reactions are mediated by a family of recently identified aspartate-histidine-histidine-cysteine (DHHC) palmitoyl transferases. More than 20 DHHC proteins are encoded by mammalian genomes, and there is now a major effort to identify DHHC-substrate pairings and to determine how interaction specificity is encoded. Recent studies have highlighted how DHHC proteins regulate cell function and influence physiology and pathophysiology. 相似文献

During the last years, post-translational modification of peripheral membrane proteins with hydrophobic side groups has been attributed to a couple of additional functions than just simple anchoring into lipid bilayers. In particular isoprenylation and N- and S-acylation did quicken interest in terms of specific recognition elements for protein-protein interactions and as hydrophobic switches that allow for temporal regulated association with distinct target structures. Furthermore new insights into the heterogeneity of natural membranes have connected the physical properties of e.g. farnesyl or palmitoyl side chains with a preference for such sub-compartments as lipid rafts or caveolae. In this review the impact of the two frequently realized modifications by isoprenylation and S-acylation on the process of cellular signal transduction is exemplified with proteins of the Ras and Rab family of small GTP-binding proteins. 相似文献

Most Ras proteins are posttranslationally modified by a palmitoyl lipid moiety through a thioester linkage. However, the mechanism by which this occurs is not known. Here, evidence is presented that the Ras2 protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is palmitoylated by a Ras protein acyltransferase (Ras PAT) encoded by the ERF2 and ERF4 genes. Erf2p is a 41-kDa protein localized to the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum and contains a conserved DHHC cysteine-rich domain (DHHC-CRD). Erf2p co-purifies with Erf4p (26 kDa) when it is expressed in yeast or in Escherichia coli. The Erf2p/Erf4p complex is required for Ras PAT activity, and mutations within conserved residues (Cys(189), His(201), and Cys(203)) of the Erf2p DHHC-CRD domain abolish Ras PAT activity. Furthermore, a palmitoyl-Erf2p intermediate is detected suggesting that Erf2p is directly involved in palmitate transfer. ERF2 and ERF4 are the first genes identified that encode a palmitoyltransferase for a Ras GTPase. 相似文献

Thioredoxin-1 (Trx-1) is a 12 kDa redox protein that is overexpressed in a large number of human tumors. Elevated Trx-1 is associated with increased tumor cell proliferation, inhibited apoptosis, aggressive tumor growth, and decreased patient survival. The molecular mechanisms for the promotion of tumorigenesis by Trx-1 are not known. PTEN is a major tumor suppressor of human cancer that acts by hydrolyzing membrane phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns)-3-phosphates, thus, preventing the activation of the survival signaling kinase Akt by PtdIns-3-kinase. We show that Trx-1 binds in a redox dependent manner to PTEN to inhibit its PtdIns-3-phosphatase activity which results in increased Akt activation in cells. Molecular docking and site-specific mutation studies show that the binding of Trx-1 to PTEN occurs through a disulfide bond between the active site Cys(32) of Trx-1 and Cys(212) of the C2 domain of PTEN leading to steric interference by bound Trx-1 of the catalytic site of PTEN and of the C2 lipid membrane-binding domain. The results of the study suggest that the increased levels of Trx-1 in human tumors could lead to functional inhibition of PTEN tumor suppressor activity providing an additional mechanism for tumorigenesis with loss of PTEN activity. 相似文献

Protein S-palmitoylation, the covalent lipid modification of the side chain of Cys residues with the 16-carbon fatty acid palmitate, is the most common acylation of proteins in eukaryotic cells. This post-translational modification provides an important mechanism for regulating protein subcellular localization, stability, trafficking, translocation to lipid rafts, aggregation, interaction with effectors and other aspects of protein function. In addition, N-terminal myristoylation and C-terminal prenylation, two well-studied post-translational modifications, frequently precede protein S-palmitoylation at a nearby spot of the polypeptide chain. Whereas N-myristoylation and prenylation are considered essentially irreversible attachments, S-palmitoylation is a tightly regulated, reversible modification. In addition, the unique reversibility of protein palmitoylation also allows proteins to rapidly shuttle between intracellular membrane compartments in a process controlled, in some cases, by the DHHC family of palmitoyl transferases. Recent cotransfection experiments using the DHHC family of protein palmitoyl transferases as well as RNA interference results have revealed that these enzymes, frequently localized to the Golgi apparatus, tightly control subcellular trafficking of acylated proteins. In this article we will give an overview of how protein palmitoylation regulates protein trafficking and subcellular localization. 相似文献

Asp-His-His-Cys (DHHC) cysteine-rich domain (CRD) acyltransferases are polytopic transmembrane proteins that are found along the endomembrane system of eukaryotic cells and mediate palmitoylation of peripheral and integral membrane proteins. Here, we address the in vivo substrate specificity of five of the seven DHHC acyltransferases for peripheral membrane proteins by an overexpression approach. For all analysed DHHC proteins we detect strongly overlapping substrate specificity. In addition, we now show acyltransferase activity for Pfa5. More importantly, the DHHC protein Pfa3 is able to trap several substrates at the vacuole. For Pfa3 and its substrate Vac8, we can distinguish two consecutive steps in the acylation reaction: an initial binding that occurs independently of its central cysteine in the DHHC box, but requires myristoylation of its substrate Vac8, and a DHHC-motif dependent acylation. Our data also suggest that proteins can be palmitoylated on several organelles. Thus, the intracellular distribution of DHHC proteins provides an acyltransferase network, which may promote dynamic membrane association of substrate proteins. 相似文献

Intracellular palmitoylation dynamics are regulated by a family of 24 DHHC (aspartate-histidine-histidine-cysteine) palmitoyltransferases, which are localized in a compartment-specific manner. The majority of DHHC proteins localize to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi membranes, and a small number target to post-Golgi membranes. To date, there are no reports of the fine mapping of sorting signals in mammalian DHHC proteins; thus, it is unclear how spatial distribution of the DHHC family is achieved. Here, we have identified and characterized lysine-based sorting signals that determine the restricted localization of DHHC4 and DHHC6 to ER membranes. The ER targeting signal in DHHC6 conforms to a KKXX motif, whereas the signal in DHHC4 is a distinct KXX motif. The identified dilysine signals are sufficient to specify ER localization as adding the C-terminal pentapeptide sequences from DHHC4 or DHHC6, which contain these KXX and KKXX motifs, to the C terminus of DHHC3, redistributes this palmitoyltransferase from Golgi to ER membranes. Recent work proposed that palmitoylation of newly synthesized peripheral membrane proteins occurs predominantly at the Golgi. Indeed, previous analyses of the peripheral membrane proteins, SNAP25 and cysteine string protein, are fully consistent with their initial palmitoylation being mediated by Golgi-localized DHHC proteins. Interestingly, ER-localized DHHC3 is able to palmitoylate SNAP25 and cysteine string protein to a similar level as wild-type Golgi-localized DHHC3 in co-expression studies. These results suggest that targeting of intrinsically active DHHC proteins to defined membrane compartments is an important factor contributing to spatially restricted patterns of substrate palmitoylation. 相似文献
