Figure Lengend Snippet: a, MS-based proteomics in OCI-AML3 cells showing the 17- ODYA labeling at t0. The results indicate that Palm M increases the apparent palmitoylation state of several proteins prior to the chase period and, as shown in Fig. 3a, some of these proteins are not dynamically palmitoylated (blue proteins in Fig. 3a). b, Bar graph quantifiying different categories of N-Ras peptides from MS-based proteomics experiments in ON cells. Data represent average values relative to DMSO t0 ± s.d. (n = 4 from two biological replicates). Statistical significance was calculated with unpaired two-tailed Student’s t-test with equal variance, ***P<0.001, ****P<0.0001 represent significant increase compared to DMSO t1 (also see Supplementary Dataset 3).

Figure Lengend Snippet: a, b, Mass spectrometry (MS)-based profiling of OCI-AML3 cells as described in Extended Data Fig. 3. Cells were preincubated with Palm M (10 μM) or ABD957 (500 nM) for 1 h, metabolically labeled with 20 μM 17-ODYA for 1 h (t0) and chased with media lacking 17-ODYA for 1 h (t1) containing Palm M (10 μM, a), ABD957 (500 nM, b), or DMSO control. Scatter plots compare log2 ratios of palmitoylated proteins in experiments measuring dynamic palmitoyation (DMSO to/t1; x-axis) versus the effect of inhibitor treatment (inhibitor t1/DMSO t1; y-axis). Proteins shown were designated as palmitoylated based on their sensitivity to hydroxylamine (≥75% reduction in enrichment following hydroxylamine treatment) as reported in Supplementary Dataset 2. Proteins in red are both dynamically palmitoylated (DMSO t0/DMSO t1 ≥ 3 fold) and preserved in their palmitoylation state by inhibitor treatment (inhibitor t1/DMSO t1 ≥ 2 fold), green are dynamically palmitoylated, but not preserved by inhibitor treatment (inhibitor t1/DMSO t1 < 2 fold), and blue are proteins that did not display evidence of dynamic palmitoylation (DMSO t0/DMSO t1 < 3 fold), but showed higher palmitoylation signals following inhibitor treatment (inhibitor t1/DMSO t1 ≥ 2 fold). Red dotted lines represent 2-fold and 3-fold ratio values for y and x-axes respectively. Data represent average values (n = 3 biological replicates). HLA proteins not shown. c, Bar graphs quantifying N-Ras (left) and SCRIB (right) palmitoylation from MS-based proteomic experiments. Data represent average values relative to DMSO t0 ± s.d.
