Two of the four cysteine-rich clusters of the SARS-CoV-1 spike protein are modified by palmitoylation. This is required for the protein's partitioning into detergent-resistant membranes and for cell–cell fusion. In general, palmitoylation is usually non-enzymatic (Petit et al, 2007; McBride and Machamer, 2010; Veit, 2012).
