Fig. 1: Palmitoylation of GNA13 regulates its protein stability.

A The scheme of isobaric iodoTMT switch labeling-based mass spectrometry assay and results of MS/MS spectrum of palmitoylated peptide of GNA13. IodoTMT6-127 labeling on Cys14 and Cys18 (the two C in lowercase) of GNA13 peptide sequence was shown in peaks graph (upper panel). B Total, membrane (Mem) and cytosolic (Cyto) fractions of HeLa cells expressing HA-tagged WT GNA13, C14S, C18S, or C14/18S mutant of GNA13 were immunoblotted with an anti-HA antibody. α-Tubulin was used as a loading control for total cellular proteins, while Na-K-ATPase and GAPDH were used as markers of the membrane and cytosol, respectively. C HeLa cells overexpressing WT GNA13 or C14/18S mutant were incubated with cycloheximide (CHX) and analyzed by western blot at the indicated time points. D Protein levels of WT GNA13 and C14/18S mutant in HeLa cells treated with or without indicated caspase inhibitors for 24 h were detected by immunoblotting with an anti-HA antibody. α-Tubulin was used as a loading control.
