GAPDH is tethered to axonal transport vesicles by S-acylation

Nisandi N Herath, Jordan A. Kogut, Andrey A. Petropavlovskiy…·Shaun S. Sanders

The paper identifies S-acylation of GAPDH on cysteine 247 by ZDHHC5 and ZDHHC17 as essential for its association with axonal transport vesicles.

Brain and neuronal expression and localization of de-S-acylating enzymes

Gabriella Santander Herrera, Nisandi N Herath, Amelia H Doerksen…·Shaun S. Sanders

The paper characterizes the expression, localization, and S-acylation of cytosolic deacylases in the brain and neurons, identifying their tissue and subcellular distribution.

ZDHHC13 is a likely pseudoenzyme protein S-acyltransferase that functions via a non-canonical mechanism

Andrey A. Petropavlovskiy, Alysha M. Church, Amelia H Doerksen…·Shaun S. Sanders

This paper investigates ZDHHC13, a non-canonical S-acyltransferase, and finds it may function as a pseudoenzyme by facilitating S-acylation through interactions with other PATs.
