Micro-Scale Control of Oligodendrocyte Morphology and Myelination by the Intellectual Disability-Linked Protein Acyltransferase ZDHHC9

Hey‐Kyeong Jeong, Estíbaliz González‐Fernández, Ilan Crawley…·Gareth M. Thomas

This study identifies ZDHHC9 as a key regulator of oligodendrocyte morphology and myelination, showing its role in palmitoylation of MBP and its impact on XLID.

Novel inhibitors of acute, axonal DLK palmitoylation are neuroprotective and avoid the deleterious side effects of cell-wide DLK inhibition

Xiaotian Zhang, Hey‐Kyeong Jeong, Jingwen Niu…·Gareth M. Thomas

The paper identifies novel compounds that inhibit DLK palmitoylation in axons, providing neuroprotection without causing cytoskeletal disruption seen with broader DLK inhibition.

Coupled Control of Distal Axon Integrity and Somal Responses to Axonal Damage by the Palmitoyl Acyltransferase ZDHHC17

Jingwen Niu, Shaun S. Sanders, Hey‐Kyeong Jeong…·Gareth M. Thomas

This study shows that ZDHHC17 couples DLK and NMNAT2 pathways to control both somal and distal axon degeneration after optic nerve crush.
