Building a KATalogue of acetyllysine targeting and function [PDF]

open access: yesBriefings in Functional Genomics, 2015
Acetylation is a dynamic post-translational modification that is attached to protein substrates by lysine acetyltransferases (KATs) and removed by lysine deacetylases (KDACs). While these enzymes are best characterized as histone modifiers and regulators of gene transcription, work in a number of systems highlights that acetylation is a pervasive ...
