From the GAP-43 (neuromodulin) is a protein kinase C
substrate that is abundant in developing and regenerating neurons.
Thioester-linked palmitoylation at two cysteines near the GAP-43 N
terminus has been implicated in directing membrane binding. Here, we
use mass spectrometry to examine the stoichiometry of palmitoylation
and the molecular identity of the fatty acid(s) attached to GAP-43 in vivo. GAP-43 expressed in either PC12 or COS-1 cells was
acetylated at the N-terminal methionine. Approximately 35% of the
N-terminal GAP-43 peptides were also modified by palmitate and/or
stearate on Cys residues. Interestingly, a variety of acylated species was detected, in which one of the Cys residues was acylated by either
palmitate or stearate, or both Cys residues were acylated by palmitates
or stearates or a combination of palmitate and stearate. Depalmitoylation of membrane-bound GAP-43 did not release the protein
from the membrane, implying that additional forces function to maintain
membrane binding. Indeed, mutation of four basic residues within the
N-terminal domain of GAP-43 dramatically reduced membrane localization
of GAP-43 without affecting palmitoylation. These data reveal the
heterogeneous nature of S-acylation in vivo and illustrate the power of mass spectrometry for identification of key
regulatory protein modifications.
