Hypermetabolic reprogramming triggered by thermal injury causes substantial morbidity and mortality. Despite the therapeutic potential of targeting this response, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Interestingly, protein S-acylation is a reversible post-translational modification induced by metabolic alterations via DHHC acyltransferases. While this modification aids in the regulation of cellular functions, deregulated S-acylation contributes to various diseases by altering protein structure, stability, and localization...
