Abstract Diverse post-translational modifications have been shown to play important roles in regulating protein function eukaryotes. By contrast, the of bacteria are not so well understood, particularly as they relate pathogenesis. Here, we demonstrate modification by covalent addition lactate lysine residues (lactylation) human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus . Lactylation is dependent on concentration and specifically affects alpha-toxin, which a single lactylated required for full activity...
