Protein Lactylation in Cancer: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets [PDF]
The Warburg effect states that cancer cells preferentially undergo aerobic glycolysis, producing lactate as a key metabolic byproduct. Lactate acidifies the tumor microenvironment (TME) and serves as a signaling molecule and substrate for lysine ...

The TRIM33 Bromodomain Recognizes Histone Lysine Lactylation. [PDF]
Histone lysine lactylation (Kla) regulates inflammatory gene expression in activated macrophages and mediates the polarization of inflammatory (M1) to reparative (M2) macrophages. However, the molecular mechanisms and key protein players involved in Kla-mediated transcriptional changes are unknown.

Systematic identification of the lysine lactylation in the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. [PDF]
Abstract Background Lysine lactylation (Kla) is a novelposttranslational modification (PTM) identified in histone and nonhistone proteins of several eukaryotic cells that directly activates gene expression and DNA replication.

Systematic analysis of lysine lactylation in nucleus pulposus cells. [PDF]
Nucleus pulposus (NP) resides in hypoxic microenvironment and NP cells (NPCs), primarily reply on glycolysis and producing high levels of lactate. Intracellular lactate drives lysine lactylation (Kla) as a newly epigenetic modification. However, the impact of Kla on NPCs remains unknown.

Lysine lactylation (Kla) might be a novel therapeutic target for breast cancer. [PDF]
Abstract Background Histone lysine lactylation (Kla) is a newly identified histone modification, which plays a crucial role in cancer progression. Hence, we determined the prognostic value of Kla in breast cancer (BC). Methods We obtained RNA expression profiles of BC from ...

Role of lysine lactylation in neoplastic and inflammatory pulmonary diseases (Review). [PDF]
Protein lysine lactylation is a ubiquitous and post‑translational modification of lysine residues that involves the addition of a lactyl group on both histone and non‑histone proteins. This process plays a pivotal role in human health and disease and was first discovered in 2019.

Systematic Analysis of Lysine Lactylation in the Plant Fungal Pathogen Botrytis cinerea. [PDF]
Lysine lactylation (Kla) is a newly discovered histone post-translational modification (PTM), playing important roles in regulating transcription in macrophages. However, the extent of this PTM in non-histone proteins remains unknown. Here, we report the first proteomic survey of this modification in Botrytis cinerea, a destructive necrotrophic fungal ...

PBertKla: a protein large language model for predicting human lysine lactylation sites. [PDF]
Lactylation is a newly discovered type of post-translational modification, primarily occurring on lysine (K) residues of both histones and non-histones to exert diverse effects on target proteins. Research has shown that lysine lactylation (Kla) modification is ubiquitous in different cells and participates in the determination of cell function and ...

Lysine Lactylation of Hemoglobin Promotes Oxygen Release in Red Blood Cells. [PDF]
Hemoglobin oxygen affinity (HOA) increases during the storage of red blood cells (RBCs), which hinders the oxygen-release efficacy after transfusion. RBCs stored in alkaline preservation solution promote glycolysis and its final product lactate, which is an allosteric regulator of HOA.

Proanthocyanidins Ameliorate LPS-Inhibited Osteogenesis of PDLSCs by Restoring Lysine Lactylation. [PDF]
Periodontitis is a bacteria-induced inflammatory disease characterized by the progressive destruction of periodontal supporting tissues. Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) are capable of differentiating into osteoblasts, which is an important stem cell source for endogenous periodontal tissue regeneration. Lysine lactylation (Kla) is a novel post-
