Palmitoylation and depalmitoylation related to inflammation.

Modification types Protein Catalyzing enzyme Modification sites Cell types Mechanism References
Palmitoylation MyD88 DHHC6 C131 Neutrophils DHHC6-mediated MyD88 palmitoylation promotes the MYD88 association with IRAF4 and downstream NF-κB signaling pathway activation (119)
NOD1 DHHC5 C558, C567, and C952 BMDMs DHHC5-catalyzed NOD1 palmitoylation is required for their membrane localization and ability to induce NF-kB signaling in response to C12-iE-DAP (122)
NOD2 DHHC5 C395 and C1033 BMDMs DHHC5-catalyzed NOD2 palmitoylation is required for their membrane localization and ability to induce NF-kB signaling in response to MDP (122)
STING DHHC1 BMDMs ZDHHC1 is a positive regulator via mediating aggregation of STING and recruitment of the downstream signaling components TBK1 and IRF3 (125)
STING DHHC11 BMDMs ZDHHC11 is a positive regulator facilitating the optimal recruitment of IRF3 to STING (126)
STING DHHC3, DHHC7, and DHHC15 C89/C91 BMDMs Palmitoylation of STING is essential for its assembly into multimeric complexes at the Golgi apparatus and the activation of downstream STING-triggered inflammatory signaling (128)
STAT3 DHHC7 C108 Th17 STAT3 palmitoylation promotes membrane recruitment and phosphorylation by JAK2 (129)
Depalmitoylation STAT3 APT2 C108 Th17 APT2 depalmitoylates phosphorylated STAT3, facilitating nuclear translocation of p-STAT3 (129)
