Stearic acid blunts growth-factor signaling via oleoylation of GNAI proteins

S-acylation is the post-translational covalent attachment of fatty acids (FA) onto cysteines. Nuskova et al. find that exposure of cells to different FAs affects which FA is used to S-acylate GNAI proteins, thereby altering GNAI function and EGFR pathway activation, linking metabolism to signaling.
