Lysine Acetylation Goes Global: From Epigenetics to Metabolism and Therapeutics.
Post-translational acetylation of lysine residues has emerged as a key regulatory mechanism in all eukaryotic organisms. Originally discovered in 1963 as a unique modification of histones, acetylation marks are now found on thousands of nonhistone ...

Epigenetics in ovarian cancer: premise, properties, and perspectives. [PDF]
Malignant ovarian tumors bear the highest mortality rate among all gynecological cancers. Both late tumor diagnosis and tolerance to available chemical therapy increase patient mortality.

Spotlight on protein N-terminal acetylation
N-terminal acetylation (Nt-acetylation) is a widespread protein modification among eukaryotes and prokaryotes alike. By appending an acetyl group to the N-terminal amino group, the charge, hydrophobicity, and size of the N-terminus is altered in an ...

Recent studies suggest that acetylation of the p53 tumor suppressor protein is not important for its DNA binding activity, as was previously thought. We discuss here a number of theories as to how this modification may serve to regulate the protein's functions.

Is acetylation a metabolic rheostat that regulates skeletal muscle insulin action? [PDF]
Skeletal muscle insulin resistance, which increases the risk for developing various metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, is a common metabolic disorder in obesity and aging.

Unlike many methods of chemical modification of Graphite Oxide (GO) reported during 1930–1960 and re-studied in much detail over the last decade, acetylation somehow escaped attention and remained almost completely unexplored.

Numerous studies indicate that reversible Nε-lysine acetylation in bacteria may play a key role in the regulation of metabolic processes, transcription and translation, biofilm formation, virulence, and drug resistance.

RNA cytidine acetyltransferase of small-subunit ribosomal RNA: identification of acetylation sites and the responsible acetyltransferase in fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe. [PDF]
The eukaryotic small-subunit (SSU) ribosomal RNA (rRNA) has two evolutionarily conserved acetylcytidines. However, the acetylation sites and the acetyltransferase responsible for the acetylation have not been identified.

Studying Acetylation of Aconitase Isozymes by Genetic Code Expansion
Aconitase catalyzes the second reaction of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, the reversible conversion of citrate and isocitrate. Escherichia coli has two isoforms of aconitase, AcnA and AcnB. Acetylomic studies have identified acetylation at multiple lysine

The bromodomain-containing protein Ibd1 links multiple chromatin related protein complexes to highly expressed genes in Tetrahymena thermophila [PDF]
Background: The chromatin remodelers of the SWI/SNF family are critical transcriptional regulators. Recognition of lysine acetylation through a bromodomain (BRD) component is key to SWI/SNF function; in most eukaryotes, this function is attributed to SNF2/Brg1.
