ZDHHC19 Inhibitors

ZDHHC19 inhibitors comprise a collection of chemical compounds that directly or indirectly hinder the activity of ZDHHC19, a palmitoyltransferase enzyme. Palmitoyl Coenzyme A, serving as a natural substrate for ZDHHC19, can act as a competitive inhibitor when in excess, limiting ZDHHC19's ability to palmitoylate other proteins. 2-Bromohexadecanoic acid directly inhibits ZDHHC19 by covalently binding to its active site, while Cerulenin and Triacsin C disrupt ZDHHC19 activity by reducing substrate availability, by inhibiting fatty acid synthesis and long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase, respectively. Tunicamycin indirectly modulates ZDHHC19's function by altering glycosylation patterns of potential substrates, and Phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride may hinder ZDHHC19 by targeting serine-rich regions near its active site. Additionally, 5-Nitro-1H-imidazole-1-ethanol and Curcumin can affect ZDHHC19 through modulation of cellular signaling pathways, such as nitric oxide synthase activity and the PI3K/Akt pathway, impacting protein interactions and substrate recognition.

Moreover, Iodoacetamide targets ZDHHC19 by alkylating its essential cysteine residue, A23187 influences ZDHHC19 by affecting the prenylation of proteins, and PF-429242 diminishes the biosynthesis of lipid substrates necessary for ZDHHC19's activity by inhibiting the serine protease SKI-1/S1P. Lastly, ML348, as an inhibitor of acyl protein thioesterase 1 (APT1), causes an accumulation of palmitoylated proteins, potentially oversaturating ZDHHC19's substrate pool and leading to decreased enzymatic function. Together, these inhibitors employ diverse biochemical mechanisms to attenuate the functional activity of ZDHHC19 by either directly obstructing the enzyme's action or by altering the cellular environment and availability of substrates necessary for its activity.

Curcumin has been shown to inhibit the PI3K/Akt pathway, which may indirectly decrease the palmitoylation of certain proteins by ZDHHC19 due to altered substrate availability or ZDHHC19 localization.
