Protein palmitoylation has been long appreciated for its rolein tethering proteins to membranes, yet the enzymes responsiblefor this modification have eluded identification. Here, experimentsin vivo and in vitro demonstrate that Akr1p, a polytopic membraneprotein containing a DHHC cysteine-rich domain (CRD), is a palmitoyltransferase (PTase). In vivo, we find that the casein kinaseYck2p is palmitoylated and that Akr1p function is required forthis modification. Akr1p, purified to near homogeneity fromyeast membranes, catalyzes Yck2p palmitoylation in vitro, indicatingthat Akr1p is itself a PTase. Palmitoylation is stimulated byadded ATP. Furthermore, during the reaction, Akr1p is itselfpalmitoylated, suggesting a role for a palmitoyl-Akr1p intermediatein the overall reaction mechanism. Mutations introduced intothe Akr1p DHHC-CRD eliminate both the trans- and autopalmitoylationactivities, indicating a central participation of this conservedsequence in the enzymatic reaction. Finally, our results indicatethat palmitoylation within the yeast cell is controlled by multiplePTase specificities. The conserved DHHC-CRD sequence, we propose,is the signature feature of an evolutionarily widespread PTasefamily.
