Dynamic acetylation of a conserved lysine impacts glycerol kinase activity and abundance in the haloarchaeon Haloferax volcanii.

Lysine acetylation is a key regulator of metabolism, but its role in archaeal carbon metabolism remains unclear. In halophilic archaea such as Haloferax volcanii, glycerol kinase (GK, glpK) catalyzes the phosphorylation of glycerol to glycerol-3-phos…
