Unraveling the Secrets of the Acetyl-Code
At its core, Protein acetylation is the addition of an acetyl group (—COCH₃) from acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) to a protein. This process is primarily managed by two opposing families of enzymes: histone acetyltransferases (HATs), which add the acetyl group, and histone deacetylases
