Timing of palmitoylation of influenza virus hemagglutinin

Abstract: The timing of the attachment of fatty acids to the hemagglutinin (HA) of influenza A virus was studied. Treatment of virus infected cells with brefeldin A (BFA), a drug which blocks intracellular transport along the exocytic pathway at a pre-Go&i site, does not prevent pahnitoylation of HA. The relationship of HA-palmitoylation to the oligomerisation and to the proteolytical cleavage of the protein revealed that the uncleaved trimer of HA is the substrate for the acylating enzyme in virus infected cells.

“…However, such a non-enzymatic reaction would not show any preference for the attachment of a particular fatty acid to a certain site but should rather reflect the concentration of individual acylCoAs at the intracellular site of acylation, the membranes of the late endoplasmic reticulum or early Golgi (19). Although very little is known about the distribution of acyl-CoAs in cellular membranes, there is no indication that the concentrations of Pal-CoA and Stear-CoA grossly differ in the endoplasmic reticulum/Golgi because both are also used for the synthesis of phospholipids that contain palmitate and stearate as the major type of fatty acids.…”

“…Most of the DHHC proteins are located in the endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi region where acylation of HA takes place (19). Alternatively, S-acylation of at least some proteins can occur by a non-enzymatic or autocatalytic mechanism (20,21).…”

“…The enzymes responsible for the acylation of viral glycoproteins have not been identified, but DHHC-CRD proteins are likely candidates since they were shown to palmitoylate cellular proteins (3). DHHC-CRD proteins are polytopic membrane proteins present at diverse intracellular locations, including the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus, the intracellular site where acylation of HA occurs (18). Since the DHHC-CRD family contains 23 members, it is likely that individual enzymes differ in their acyl-coenzyme A and substrate specificities.…”

“…The palmitoylation of proteins known to be modified early in the secretory pathway is unaffected by BFA treatment (30)(31)(32). Similarly, syntaxin 8 might be modified in the ER or Golgi.…”

“…Viral glycoproteins and caveolin are examples of proteins that are stably palmitoylated, and no palmitate incorporation is detected in the absence of new protein synthesis (32,34). In contrast, many signaling proteins cycle between membrane compartments using an acylation/deacylation cycle that occurs on the time course of minutes (26).…”
