Epigenetics Identifier screens reveal regulators of chromatin acylation and limited specificity of acylation antibodies
Abstract The collection of known posttranslational modifications (PTMs) has expanded rapidly with the identification of various non-acetyl histone lysine acylations, such as crotonylation, succinylation and butyrylation, yet their regulation is still not fully understood. Through an unbiased chromat...
