Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of 67 Histone Marks and Histone Lysine Crotonylation as a New Type of Histone Modification

TL;DR: The identification of 67 previously undescribed histone modifications is reported, increasing the current number of known histone marks by about 70%, and lysine crotonylation (Kcr) is investigated, confirming that it represents an evolutionarily-conserved histone posttranslational modification.
Journal ArticleDOI

The first identification of lysine malonylation substrates and its regulatory enzyme

TL;DR: The results reveal a new type of PTM pathway and identify the first enzyme that can regulate lysine malonylation and lysines succinylation status, and suggest the possibility of nondeacetylation activity of other class IIIlysine deacetylases, especially those without obvious acetylation protein substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lysine Succinylation and Lysine Malonylation in Histones

TL;DR: The identification and validation of a new type of PTM in histones, lysine succinylation, and it is demonstrated that this histone PTM is present in all eukaryotic cells the authors examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

SIRT7 is a histone desuccinylase that functionally links to chromatin compaction and genome stability

TL;DR: It is shown that SIRT7 is recruited to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in a PARP1-dependent manner and catalyses desuccinylation of H3K122 therein, thereby promoting chromatin condensation and DSB repair.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comprehensive Profiling of Protein Lysine Acetylation in Escherichia coli

TL;DR: This study has demonstrated that the combined approach is powerful for identification and characterization of protein lysine acetylation on a large scale and provides a series of important information including localization, networks and characterize of acetylome.
