Reversible Lysine Acetylation Regulates Activity of Human Glycine N-Acyltransferase-like 2 (hGLYATL2): Implications for Production of Glycine-conjugated Signaling Molecules

Background: Lysine acetylation is a major post-translational modification of proteins. Results: Human glycine N-acyltransferase-like 2 is regulated by acetylation/deacetylation of lysine 19. Conclusion: Reversible lysine acetylation is important in regulating the activity and function of human glycine N-acyltransferases. Significance: Our study links post-translational modification of proteins with the production of lipid signaling molecules, the N-acyl glycines
