High impact information on ZDHHC17

  • The palmitoylation and distribution of htt are regulated by the palmitoyl transferase huntingtin interacting protein 14 (HIP14) [1].
  • Downregulation of HIP14 in mouse neurons expressing wild-type and mutant htt increases inclusion formation, whereas overexpression of HIP14 substantially reduces inclusions [1].
  • Using the yeast two-hybrid system, we have isolated a novel htt interacting protein, HIP14 [2].
  • Expression of human HIP14 results in rescue of the temperature-sensitive lethality in akr1 Delta yeast cells and, furthermore, restores their defect in endocytosis, demonstrating a role for HIP14 in intracellular trafficking [2].
 

Biological context of ZDHHC17

 

Associations of ZDHHC17 with chemical compounds

  • These findings define HIP14 as a mammalian palmitoyl transferase involved in the palmitoylation and trafficking of multiple neuronal proteins [3].
