  • Palmitoylation regulates KAT2A expression in breast cancer lung metastases.
  • DHHC20 palmitoylates TM4SF1, promoting its plasma membrane localization.
  • Phosphorylation of STAT3, a transcriptional regulator of KAT2A, is fostered by TM4SF1.
  • Silencing Zdhhc20 and Tm4sf1 or expressing a Tm4sf1 mutant reduces lung metastasis growth, which is rescued by Kat2a expression.
  • Evidence of palmitoylation-induced KAT2A regulation is found in breast cancer patient lung metastasis samples.
