Lysine 68 acetylation directs MnSOD as a tetrameric detoxification complex versus a monomeric tumor promoter

The molecular mechanism by which acetylation regulates manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) activity and its oncogenicity is unclear. Here the authors show that an acetylation mimicking MnSOD mutant is a monomer, has peroxidase function and acts as a tumor promoting factor.
