Protein palmitoylation is important in cellular processes, with the palmitoyltransferase ZDHHC5 being a unique member of the PAT family that plays a vital role in different cell types. Recent research has revealed several mechanisms to control the activity, localization, and function of ZDHHC5.
Protein palmitoylation (S-acylation) has emerged as an important player in a range of cellular processes, and as a result, the palmitoyl-acyltransferase (PAT) enzymes which mediate this modification have entered into the spotlight. Palmitoyltransferase ZDHHC5 (ZDHHC5) is among the more unique members of the PAT family as it is mainly localised to the plasma membrane and contains an extended cytoplasmic domain with several regulatory features. ZDHHC5 plays a vital role in a wide range of processes in different cell types. In this review, we offer a summary of the functions of ZDHHC5 in synaptic plasticity, cardiac function, cell adhesion and fatty acid uptake, among other processes. We also explore recent work has revealed several mechanisms to control the activity, localisation and function of ZDHHC5.
