SARS-CoV-2 shifts transcription of host gene to increase Spike acylation and boost infectivity

F. S. Mesquita, L. Abrami, L. Bracq, N. Panyain, V. Mercier, B. Kunz, A. Chuat, J. Carlevaro-Fita, D. Trono, F. G. van der Goot

This study shows SARS-CoV-2 infection alters zddhc20 transcription, producing a longer ZDHHC20 protein that enhances Spike acylation and viral infectivity.

S-acylation controls SARS-Cov-2 membrane lipid organization and enhances infectivity

F. S. Mesquita, L. Abrami, O. Sergeeva, P. Turelli, B. Kunz, C. Raclot, J. Paz Montoya, L. Abriata, M. Dal Peraro, D. Trono, G. D'Angelo, F. G. van der Goot

The paper shows that S-acylation by ZDHHC20 modifies SARS-CoV-2 membrane proteins, promoting lipid domain formation and enhancing viral infectivity.

The architecture of the endoplasmic reticulum is regulated by the reversible lipid modification of the shaping protein CLIMP-63

P. A. Sandoz, R. A. Denhardt-Eriksson, L. Abrami, L. Abriata, G. Spreemann, C. Maclachlan, S. Ho, B. Kunz, K. Hess, G. W. Knott, V. Hatzimanikatis, F. G. van der Goot

This paper shows that ZDHHC6-mediated S-palmitoylation of CLIMP-63 regulates ER morphology by controlling its localization and abundance in mammalian cells.

Identification and dynamics of the DHHC16-DHHC6 palmitoylation cascade

L. Abrami, T. Dallavilla, P. Sandoz, M. Demir, B. Kunz, G. Savoglidis, V. Hatzimanikatis, F. G. van der Goot

The paper identifies DHHC16 as an upstream palmitoyltransferase regulating DHHC6, revealing a palmitoylation cascade and showing dynamic interconversion of DHHC6 species.
