Abstract
Lysine lactylation (Kla) has recently been reported to participate in regulating transcription in human cells. However, the characterization, regulatory mechanism and functional consequence of Kla in prokaryotes remain unclear. Here, we report that YiaC functions as a lysine lactylase and that CobB serves as a lysine delactylase in the regulation of metabolism. We demonstrate that YiaC catalyzes the addition of Kla, while CobB erases this PTM both in vitro and intracellularly. Moreover, we show that YdiF can catalyze the formation of a lactyl-coenzyme A, which donates lactyl group for Kla. Quantitative proteomic analysis further reveals 446 endogenous Kla sites targeted by CobB and 79 candidates targeted by YiaC in Escherichia coli (E. coli). Furthermore, we present that Kla can influence the functions of metabolic enzymes. Interestingly, we demonstrate that CobB can specifically modulate the activity of PykF by regulating K382la, promoting glycolysis and bacterial growth. Our study identifies the regulatory enzymes and functional network of Kla and reveals a Kla-mediated molecular mechanism catalyzed by CobB for glycolysis regulation in E. coli.

Abstract
Phosphorylation is an essential mechanism of protein control and plays an important role in biology. The two-component system (TCS) is a bacterial regulation mechanism mediated by a response regulator (RR) protein and a kinase protein, which synchronize the regulatory circuit according to the environment. Phosphorylation is a key element in TCS function as it controls RR activity. In the present study, we characterize the behavior of MorR, an RR associated with Mo homeostasis, upon acetylphosphate and phosphoramidate treatment in vitro. Our results show that MorR was phosphorylated by both phospho-donors. Fluorescence experiments showed that MorR tryptophan emission is quenched by phosphoramidate. Furthermore, theoretical and computational results demonstrate that phosphorylation by phosphoramidate is more favorable than that by acetylphosphate. In conclusion, phosphorylated MorR is a monomeric protein and phosphorylation does not appear to induce observable conformational changes in the protein structure.

Abstract
Nε-Lysine acetylation is now recognized as an abundant posttranslational modification (PTM) that influences many essential biological pathways. Advancements in mass spectrometry-based proteomics have led to the discovery that bacteria contain hundreds of acetylated proteins, contrary to the prior notion of acetylation events being rare in bacteria. Although the mechanisms that regulate protein acetylation are still not fully defined, it is understood that this modification is finely tuned via both enzymatic and nonenzymatic mechanisms. The opposing actions of Gcn5-related N-acetyltransferases (GNATs) and deacetylases, including sirtuins, provide the enzymatic control of lysine acetylation. A nonenzymatic mechanism of acetylation has also been demonstrated and proven to be prominent in bacteria, as well as in mitochondria. The functional consequences of the vast majority of the identified acetylation sites remain unknown. From studies in mammalian systems, acetylation of critical lysine residues was shown to impact protein function by altering its structure, subcellular localization, and interactions. It is becoming apparent that the same diversity of functions can be found in bacteria. Here, we review current knowledge of the mechanisms and the functional consequences of acetylation in bacteria. Additionally, we discuss the methods available for detecting acetylation sites, including quantitative mass spectrometry-based methods, which promise to promote this field of research. We conclude with possible future directions and broader implications of the study of protein acetylation in bacteria.

Abstract
Lysine acetylation is one of the most abundant post-translational modifications. However, physiological roles of this modification in bacteria are largely unknown. Previous protein acetylome analysis showed that Escherichia coli adenosylmethionine synthase (MAT) undergoes acetylation in vivo, but the biological functions of this modification still need to be uncovered. In this study, MAT of E. coli was over-expressed and purified. Subsequent mass spectrometry analysis showed that 12 lysine residues of the protein were acetylated. Site-directed mutagenesis analysis was performed and the results showed that acetylated lysine residues play important roles in the enzymatic activity of MAT. Next, deacetylation assay was performed by using CobB as the deacetylase, and the results showed that CobB could deacetylate MAT in vitro In addition, the enzymatic activities of acetylated and deacetylated MAT were compared in vitro, and results showed that acetylation led to a decrease in its enzymatic activity, which could be reversed by CobB deacetylation. Altogether, our data suggest that CobB modulates the enzymatic activity of E. coli MAT in vitro.
