Abstract excerpt
c-Myc, an important oncoprotein, is highly regulated via posttranslational modifications. Herein, we report c-Myc crotonylation, an acylation stemming from the short-chain fatty acid crotonate. By biochemical analyses and high-resolution mass spectrometry sequencing, we showed that c-Myc is crotonylated at several lysine residues, spanning its middle to C termini. Mutation of these crotonylation sites conferred...
