ABSTRACT Reversible lysine acetylation (RLA) is used by cells of all domains of life to modulate protein function. To date, bacterial acetylation/deacetylation systems have been studied in a few bacteria (e.g., Salmonella enterica , Bacillus subtilis , Escherichia coli , Erwinia amylovora , Mycobacterium tuberculosis , and Geobacillus kaustophilus ), but little is known about RLA in antibiotic-producing actinomycetes. Here, we identify the Gcn5-like protein acetyltransferase AcuA of Saccharopolyspora erythraea ( Sac AcuA, SACE_5148) as the enzyme responsible for the acetylation of the AMP-forming acetyl coenzyme A synthetase ( Sac AcsA, SACE_2375). Acetylated Sac AcsA was deacetylated by a sirtuin-type NAD + -dependent consuming deacetylase ( Sac SrtN, SACE_3798). In vitro acetylation/deacetylation of Sac AcsA enzyme was studied by Western blotting, and acetylation of lysine residues Lys 237 , Lys 380 , Lys 611 , and Lys 628 was confirmed by mass spectrometry. In a strain devoid of Sac AcuA, none of the above-mentioned Lys residues of Sac AcsA was acetylated. To our knowledge, the ability of Sac AcuA to acetylate multiple Lys residues is unique among AcuA-type acetyltransferases. Results from site-specific mutagenesis experiments showed that the activity of Sac AcsA was controlled by lysine acetylation. Lastly, immunoprecipitation data showed that in vivo acetylation of Sac AcsA was influenced by glucose and acetate availability. These results suggested that reversible acetylation may also be a conserved regulatory posttranslational modification strategy in antibiotic-producing actinomycetes.

Ranked by citation count — the same ordering the engine uses when summing log1p(Cq) over citers.
DataRank blends this paper's own citation count with the influence of the papers that cite it. Here, roughly 48% comes from its base citations and 52% from the citation network (22 citing papers contributed measurable signal).
Citers are pulled from OpenAlex sorted by cited_by_count:descand capped per paper, so when the cap binds we keep the highest-signal references and the score is reproducible across reruns.
