| PMID | Thematic review series: lipid posttranslational modifications. Lysosomal metabolism of lipid-modified proteins. J Lipid Res. 2006 Jul; 47 (7): 1352–7.PMID: 16627894 Much is now understood concerning the synthesis of prenylated and palmitoylated proteins, but what is known of their metabolic fate? This review details metabolic pathways for the lysosomal degradation of S-fatty acylated and prenylated proteins. Central to these pathways are two lysosomal enzymes, palmitoyl-protein thioesterase (PPT1) and prenylcysteine lyase (PCL). PPT1 is a soluble lipase that cleaves fatty acids from cysteine residues in proteins during lysosomal protein degradation. Notably, deficiency in the enzyme causes a neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder, infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. PCL is a membrane-associated flavin-containing lysosomal monooxygenase that metabolizes prenylcysteine to prenyl aldehyde through a completely novel mechanism. The eventual metabolic fates of other lipidated proteins (such as glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored and N-myristoylated proteins) are poorly understood, suggesting directions for future research. |
GO predictions are based solely on the InterPro-to-GO mappings published by EMBL-EBI, which are in turn based on the mapping of predicted domains to the InterPro dataset. The InterPro-to-GO mapping was last updated on , while the GO metadata was last updated on .
