HDAC6-pack: cortactin acetylation joins the brew.
The reversible acetylation of lysine residues is an important posttranslational modification for the regulation of histones, transcription factors, chaperones, and microtubules. In a recent article in Molecular Cell, Zhang et al. (2007) describe a new target of reversible acetylation, the actin binding protein cortactin.
