Figure S2.

Specific cysteine residues are required for activity and plasma membrane localization. (A) Activity of ABHD17A is not affected by individual mutation of N-terminal cysteine residues to serine. Acylation of GFP-NRas was detected by click-labeling with 17-ODYA (upper panel). Levels of immunoprecipitated NRas (middle panel) or total ABHD17A (lower panel) were detected by western blot using anti-GFP or FLAG antibody, respectively. (B) Quantification of GFP-NRas acylation in A. NRas acylation was normalized to vector. One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test; n = 3, ns = P > 0.05, **** = P ≤ 0.0001. Statistical analysis is depicted with black font (comparison to vector) and blue font (comparison to WT). Error bars indicate STDEV. (C) Acylation of ABHD17A was not affected by mutating N-terminal cysteine residues individually. Acylation of ABHD17A-FLAG was detected by click-labeling with 17-ODYA (upper panel). Levels of immunoprecipitated ABHD17A were detected by western blot using anti FLAG antibody (lower panel). (D) Quantification ABHD17A-FLAG acylation in C. One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test; n = 3, ns = P > 0.05. Statistical analysis shows comparison to WT ABHD17A. Error bars indicate STDEV. (E) Representative double cysteine mutant constructs show decreased plasma membrane association in BRET analysis. One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test; n = 5, ns = P > 0.05, * = P ≤ 0.05, ** = P ≤ 0.01, *** = P ≤ 0.001, **** = P ≤ 0.0001. Error bars indicate STDEV. (F) Schematic of the predicted N-terminal helix of ABHD17A cysteine mutants showing acylation patterns of active and inactive constructs. Acyl groups are depicted with blue wavy lines.
