ProteinAcetylationBackground
Acetylationofproteinscanoccurasaco-translationalorpost-translationalmodification(PTM)(1).Co-translationalacetylationoccursattheN-terminalofapproximately85%ofmammalianproteins,itisirreversibleandisthoughttobeimportantinproteinstABIlity,localizationandsynthesis(1).Post-translationalacetylationoccursontheepsilonaminogroupoflysineresiduesasareversibleandhighlydynamicPTMthatisknowntobeakeyregulatorinmultiplecellularevents,includingchromatinstructure,transcription,metabolism,signaltransductionandcytoskeletalregulation(2-3).Todateover4,000proteinshavebeenidentifiedastargetsforPTMacetylationwhichiscomparabletophosphorylationincellularprevelance(3).AntibodyAAC01detectsacetyllysinePTMs.
