RAS proteins undergo a dynamic palmitoylation and depalmitoylation cycle that regulates their association with membranes and thus their localization and function (Hancock et al, 1989; Swarthout et al, 2005; reviewed in Gysin et al, 2011; Lin et al, 2017; Ahearn et al, 2018). Depalmitoylation is catalyzed by the acyl-protein thioesterase LYPLA1, also known as APT1, or by members of the ABHD17 family (Dekker et al, 2010; Lin and Conibear, 2015; reviewed in Lin et al, 2017).
