Proteome-wide lysine acetylation has been documented in apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium falciparum. Here, we conducted the first acetylome unsporulated oocysts (USO), sporulated 7 h (SO 7h), (SO), sporozoites (S), second generation merozoites (SMG) of Eimeria tenella through a 4D label-free quantitative technique. Altogether, 8532 sites on 2325 proteins were identified E. tenella, among which 5445 1493 quantified. In addition, 557, 339, 478, 248, 241, 424...
