Maran, Suellen Rodrigues, Fleck, Krista, Monteiro-Teles, Natália Melquie et al. (6 more authors) (2021) Protein acetylation in the critical biological processes in protozoan parasites. Trends in parasitology. pp. 815-830. ISSN 1471-4922
Abstract
Protein lysine acetylation has emerged as a major regulatory post-translational modification in different organisms, present not only on histone proteins affecting chromatin structure and gene expression but also on nonhistone proteins involved in several cellular processes. The same scenario was observed in protozoan parasites after the description of their acetylomes, indicating that acetylation might regulate crucial biological processes in these parasites. The demonstration that glycolytic enzymes are regulated by acetylation in protozoans shows that this modification might regulate several other processes implicated in parasite survival and adaptation during the life cycle, opening the chance to explore the regulatory acetylation machinery of these parasites as drug targets for new treatment development.
