Abstract TIP GROWTH DEFECTIVE1 (TIP1) of Arabidopsis thaliana affects cell growth
throughout the plant and has a particularly strong effect on root hair growth. We have …

Background Protein palmitoylation, which is critical for membrane association and
subcellular targeting of many signaling proteins, is catalyzed mainly by protein S-acyl …

Protein S-acylation, commonly known as palmitoylation, is a reversible posttranslational
modification that catalyzes the addition of a saturated lipid group, often palmitate, to the …

S‐acylation of eukaryotic proteins is the reversible attachment of palmitic or stearic acid to
cysteine residues, catalysed by protein S‐acyl transferases that share an Asp‐His‐His‐Cys …

Root hairs are a major site for the uptake of water and nutrients into plants, and they form an
increasingly important model system for the study of development in higher plants. We now …

Polar growth of root hairs is critical for plant survival and requires fine‐tuned Rho of plants
(ROP) signaling. Multiple ROP regulators participate in root hair growth. However, protein S …

Lipid modification on the cysteine residues of proteins, known as S-palmitoylation or S-
acylation, regulates the subcellular localization and the function of proteins. S-acylation is …

Abstract The Asp-His-His-Cys-Cys-rich domain-containing Protein S-Acyl Transferases (PAT
s) are multipass transmembrane proteins that catalyze S-acylation (commonly known as S …

Membranes are an important signalling platform in plants. The plasma membrane is the
point where information about the external environment must be converted into intracellular …

Acyl carrier protein (ACP) is a small (9 kD) acidic protein that is an essential cofactor in plant
fatty acid biosynthesis. Most plants have several isoforms of ACP, some of which are …
