Palmitoylation stabilized TIM-3 by preventing binding to E3 ubiquitin ligase HRD1, thereby suppressing its polyubiquitination and degradation. DHHC9 knockdown attenuated chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell exhaustion, and a peptidic inhibitor of TIM-3 palmitoylation accelerated TIM-3 degradation and enhanced antitumor immunity mediated by CAR-T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. In hepatocellular carcinoma, DHHC9 expression correlated with TIM-3 expression in CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells and NK cells, and high DHHC9 expression was associated with shorter survival in patients with high TIM-3.

Unexpectedly, lamina propria immune cells were the main intestinal cell types that express LRRK2, instead of Paneth cells as previously suggested. We showed that LRRK2-mediated pro-inflammatory cytokine release from phagocytes impaired Paneth cell function, which was rescued by LRRK2 kinase inhibition through activation of autophagy.
