NCX1 is palmitoylated in heart, brain and kidney. A) Palmitoylated proteins were purified from homogenates of heart, brain, and kidney and immunoblotted as shown. Note the extended incubation at 40°C during acyl-RAC causes partial aggregation of NCX1 resulting in 2 species of ∼120 and 150 kDa resolved by SDS-PAGE. B) Fraction of NCX1.1 palmitoylated in ventricular muscle. A small fraction of NCX1.1 is not palmitoylated in ventricular muscle. NCX1.1 enrichment in acyl-RAC reactions was normalized to the constitutively palmitoylated protein caveolin 3 (Cav3). n = 5, mean ± sem shown. C) NCX1.1 is palmitoylated in human-induced pluripotent stem cells differentiated into cardiac myocytes. P, proteins purified by acyl-RAC; Palm, proteins purified using acyl-RAC in either the presence (+) or absence (−) of hydroxylamine (ha); UF, unfractionated cell lysate; UB, material not captured by acyl-RAC.
