Acetyl‐Phosphate Dependent Protein Acetylation in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
The role of acetyl‐phosphate‐dependent non‐enzymatic protein acetylation in Neisseria gonorrhoeae was investigated through the deletion of the phosphotransacetylase (pta) and the acetate kinase (ackA) genes, this led to a decrease and increase in protein acetylation, respectively.
