  • Reversible lysine acetylation is a conserved post-translational modification involved in cellular processes like metabolism and gene expression.
  • The study identifies AcuB as an Ap4A-regulated deacetylation inhibitor in Bacillus subtilis, controlling the HDAC-like protein AcuC.
  • Ap4A binds to the CBS domain of AcuB, stabilizing it and enhancing inhibition of AcuC, linking stress response to protein acetylation and acetyl-CoA biosynthesis.
