Chii chinonzi palmitoylation
Palmitoylation ndiko kubatanidzwa kwecovalent kwemafuta acids, akadai se palmitic acid, kune cysteine (S-palmitoylation) uye zvishoma kazhinji kune serine uye threonine (O-palmitoylation) zvisaririra zveprotein, izvo zvinowanzova membrane protein. Basa chairo repalmitoylation rinotsamira papuroteni chaiyo iri kurangarirwa. Palmitoylation inowedzera hydrophobicity yemapuroteni uye inobatsira mukubatana kwavo nemembrane. Palmitoylation inoratidzikawo kuva nebasa rinokosha mukutengeserana kwemapuroteni pakati pemakamuri emadziro, uyewo mukugadzirisa kudyidzana kweprotein-protein. Kusiyana neprenylation uye myristoylation, palmitoylation inowanzodzoka (nokuti chisungo chiri pakati pepalmitic acid nemapuroteni chinowanzova chisungo che thioester). Kuchinja kwacho mumasero ezvipembenene kunokonzerwa neacyl-protein thioesterases (APTs) mu cytosol uye palmitoyl protein thioesterases mu lysosomes. Nemhaka yokuti palmitoylation inzira inoshanda, inenge yapera kushandurwa, inofungidzirwa kuti inoshandiswa nesero kuchinja nzvimbo iri pasi pemasero, kudyidzana kweprotein neprotein, kana kuti kukwanisa kusunga puroteni.  Muenzaniso weprotein inoitwa palmitoylation ndeye hemagglutinin, membrane glycoprotein inoshandiswa nefuruwenza kuti inamatire kune host cell receptors. Maitiro epalmitoylation emarudzi akasiyana-siyana emaenzyme ave achitsanangurwa mumakore mashomanana apfuura, kusanganisira H-Ras, Gsα, β2-adrenergic receptor, uye endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). Muchiratidzo chinoshandurwa neG protein, palmitoylation ye α subunit, prenylation ye γ subunit, uye myristoylation inobatanidzwa mukusunga G protein kumusoro kwemukati kweplasma membrane kuitira kuti G protein ikwanise kudyidzana ne receptor yayo.
