Nε-lysine acetylation of a bacterial transcription factor inhibits Its DNA-binding activity.

Evidence suggesting that eukaryotes and archaea use reversible N(ε)-lysine (N(ε)-Lys) acetylation to modulate gene expression has been reported, but evidence for bacterial use of N(ε)-Lys acetylation for this purpose is lacking. Here, we report data in support of the notion that bacteria can control...
