A family of 23 DHHC (Asp-His-His-Cys) proteins that function as mammalian S-acyltransferases has been identified, reinvigorating the study of protein S-acylation. Recent studies have continued to reveal how S-acylation affects target proteins, and have provided glimpses of how DHHC-substrate specificity might be achieved.
现已鉴定出一个由 23 个 DHHC(天冬氨酸-组氨酸-组氨酸-半胱氨酸)蛋白组成的家族,这些蛋白作为哺乳动物 S-酰基转移酶发挥作用,这重新激发了对蛋白质 S-酰化的研究。最近的研究继续揭示了 S-酰化如何影响靶蛋白,并提供了 DHHC-底物特异性如何实现的一些线索。
