ZDHHC4-mediated ZEB-2 S-palmitoylation promotes melanoma epithelial-mesenchymal transition via deubiquitinating and stabilizing ZEB-2

Puntos clave

• Melanoma epithelial-mesenchymal transition is promoted by ZDHHC4-mediated ZEB-2 s-palmitoylation.
• Key evidence shows that ZEB-2 levels significantly increase, indicating its crucial role in transition processes.
• Analysis of ZDHHC4 functions reveals its role in deubiquitinating and stabilizing ZEB-2, enhancing its activity.
• Highlights the potential of targeting ZDHHC4 for melanoma therapeutics, though limits exist in current models.
