A minimal functional ZDHHC5 defines distinct requirements for NOD2 binding and S-acylation

Protein S-acylation by ZDHHC5 promotes membrane recruitment of the innate immune receptors NOD1 and NOD2. ZDHHC5 contains an extended cytosolic tail implicated in substrate recruitment, accessory-protein interactions, and enzyme trafficking, but its contribution to NOD1 and NOD2 modification remains unclear. Here, we used mutagenesis and complementation of ZDHHC5 knockout cells to define the…
