Abstract |
Protein palmitoylation is a post-translational modification that affects a great number of proteins. In most cases, the enzymes responsible for this modification have not been identified. Some proteins use palmitoylation to attach themselves to membranes; however, palmitoylation also occurs in transmembrane proteins, and the function of this palmitoylation is less clear. Here we identify Swf1, a member of the DHHC-CDR family of palmitoyltransferases, as the protein responsible for modifying the yeast SNAREs Snc1, Syn8 and Tlg1, at cysteine residues close to the cytoplasmic end of their single transmembrane domains (TMDs). In an swf1Delta mutant, Tlg1 is mis-sorted to the vacuole. This occurs because unpalmitoylated Tlg1 is recognised by the ubiquitin ligase Tul1, resulting in its targeting to the multivesicular body pathway. Our results suggest that one role of palmitoylation is to protect TMDs from the cellular quality control machinery, and that Swf1 may be the enzyme responsible for most, if not all, TMD-associated palmitoylation in yeast. |
