Functions and Mechanisms of Lysine Glutarylation in Eukaryotes.

ABSTRACT: Lysine glutarylation (Kglu) is a newly discovered post-translational modification (PTM), which is considered to be reversible, dynamic, and conserved in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Recent developments in the identification of Kglu by mass spectrometry have shown that Kglu is mainly involved in the regulation of metabolism, oxidative damage, chromatin dynamics and is associated with various diseases. In this review, we firstly summarize the development history of glutarylation, the biochemical processes of glutarylation and deglutarylation. Then we focus on the pathophysiological functions such as glutaric acidemia 1, asthenospermia, etc. Finally, the current computational tools for predicting glutarylation sites are discussed. These emerging findings point to new functions for lysine gluta
