Altered myelination in Zdhhc9 KO corpus callosum in vivo.

(A) Electron micrographs of corpus callosum axons from P56 male mice of the indicated genotypes. Wild-type axons are uniformly myelinated, but in Zdhhc9 KO, some large axons are hypomyelinated (red dotted outline), while a subset of small axons appear hypermyelinated (blue dotted outline). There is also frequent dysmyelination (green asterisk). (B) Quantification of images from A reveal no change in total number of axons in Zdhhc9 KO. n.s.: not significant (p=0.7117, t test, N=3 mice per genotype). (C) Percentage of unmyelinated axons from mice of the indicated genotypes (N=3 mice per genotype; *p=0.0036, t-test).

ZDHHC9 loss cell-autonomously impairs maturation of cultured oligodendrocytes (OLs).

(A) Timeline of experiment. (B) Immunofluorescent images of cultured OLs, after infection with the indicated lentiviruses and fixation as in A. (C) Quantified data from B reveal that Zdhhc9 knockdown reduces the percentage of GFP-expressing (virally infected) MBP+ cells i.e., mature OLs (**p=0.0067, t-test, n=4 individual cultures per condition). (D) Likewise, Zdhhc9 knockdown reduces the percentage of myelin basic protein (MBP)-expressing GFP + cells. (*p=0.0359, t-test, n=4 individual cultures per condition). (E) Left: Images of individual OLs after infection and fixation as in B. Middle column: reconstructed outline of individual OLs. Right column: Images from middle column with superimposed concentric circles for Sholl analysis. (F) Sholl analysis from OLs reconstructed as in E confirms reduced morphological complexity of Zdhhc9 knockdown OLs. n=8 cells per condition. *p<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.001; ****p<0.0001, individual t-tests. Data are mean ± SEM.

ZDHHC9 palmitoylates myelin basic protein (MBP) in cultured cells and in vivo, and certain ZDHHC9 X-linked intellectual disability (XLID) mutants display residual protein acyltransferase (PAT) activity towards MBP.

(A) Western blots of palmitoyl- and total proteins from HEK293T cells transfected to express the indicated cDNAs. (B) Quantified data from C confirms that co-transfection of HA-ZDHHC9 and myc-Golga7 greatly increases MBP palmitoylation. No signal for palmitoyl-MBP is seen in the absence of the key reagent hydroxylamine (NH2OH), confirming assay specificity. ****p<0.0001, ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparison test. (C) Western blots to detect MBP in total lysates and acyl biotin exchange (ABE) fractions from forebrain white matter (WM) (corpus callosum, CC and striatum) from mice of the indicated genotype. (D) Quantified data from C confirms that Zdhhc9 loss reduces palmitoyl, but not total, levels of 17 kDa and 21.5 kDa MBP isoforms. palmitoyl:total 17.5 kDa isoform, n=15–16 per genotype; **p=0.0078, palmitoyl:total 21 kDa isoform, n=8 per genotype,. ‘N’ number is lower for 21.5 kDa MBP because in a subset of experiments this isoform was not efficiently extracted and was hence undetectable. (E) As A, expect that HEK293T cells were transfected to express HA-tagged ZDHHC9wt or XLID mutant forms from Figure 2, plus the indicated additional proteins. Western blots of palmitoyl fractions (isolated by ABE assay) and total proteins are shown. (F) Quantified data from E for palmitoylation of MBP confirm that palmitoylation of MBP by ZDHHC9-P150S and ZDHHC9wt do not differ significantly and that palmitoylation of MBP by ZDHHC9-R96W is less impaired than that by ZDHHC9-R148W (****p<0.0001; ***p<0.001; *p<0.05; n.s.; not significant, ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparison test). (G) Quantified data from E for autopalmitoylation of ZDHHC9 confirm that ZDHHC9wt and ZDHHC9-P150S autopalmitoylate to broadly similar extents but that autopalmitoylation of both ZDHHC9-R96W and ZDHHC9-R148W is significantly lower than that of ZDHHC9wt (****p<0.0001; ***p<0.001; *p<0.05; n.s.; not significant, ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparison test). Data in B, D, F, G are mean + SEM.

Zdhhc9 loss impacts the palmitoyl-protein myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) but not Cadm4.

(A) Western blots to detect MAG in total lysates and ABE fractions from forebrain white matter (WM) (CC and striatum) from mice of the indicated genotype. (B) Quantified data from A confirm that Zdhhc9 loss significantly reduces palmitoyl and total levels of MAG, but palmitoyl:total level is not significantly affected. (C) As A, but blotted to detect Cadm4. (D) Quantified data from C confirm that Zdhhc9 loss does not significantly affect palmitoyl-, total or palmitoyl:total levels of Cadm4. *p<0.05, n.s.; not significant, unpaired t-test, N=12 per genotype.
