Lactate as a major epigenetic carbon source for histone acetylation via nuclear LDH metabolism

Abstract Histone acetylation involves the transfer of two-carbon units to the nucleus that are embedded in low-concentration metabolites. We found that lactate, a high-concentration metabolic byproduct, can be a major carbon source for histone acetylation through oxidation-dependent metabolism. Both...
