Our paper is now out! Cell damage regulates expression of lipid-modifying enzymes via alternative transcription. @SARSCoV2 exploits this to boost Spike #acylation #palmitoylation and generate more infectious #virions! @FS_Mesquita @AbramiLaurence .

Late publicity! Check our last review regarding the wonderful world of S-#acylation aka #Palmitoylation. A comprehensive overview of the field and our take on the interplay between this #lipid #PTM and #immunity #metabolism #cancer and #brain.

Big thanks to all our collaborators and everyone from the @VDGLab @Trono_Lab @ACCESS_Unige. Learn more about the details of how cell damage caused by #viruses #toxins or #colitis regulates protein #acylation #palmitoylation, check it out!

Finally, we show that #viruses produced by Long-ZDHHC20-expressing cells have enhanced infectivity. More details in the manuscript!

The N-terminal extension of ZDHHC20 prevents the protein from leaving the ER, extends its half-life, and enhances its #Spike modifying capacity by more than 35 times!

This Long-ZDHHC20 is expressed during in vivo #SARS2 infection and also following non-infectious organ damage such as #colitis.

A Great Team Effort! .@FS_Mesquita.@AbramiLaurence.@gvdgoot.@Trono_Lab.@ACCESS_Unige .We show that infection triggers a transcriptional change in the host acyl-transferase ZDHHC20 producing an uncharacterized Longer Version of ZDHHC20 a few hours after initial cellular infection.

#SARS2 #Lipidation Chapter2. How #SARSCoV2 boosts Host #Palmitoylation to promote infectivity! #Infection shifts transcription of ZDHHC20 palmitoyltransferase to increase #Spike Palmitoylation and produce more infectious #virus Stay tuned for Chapter3.
