title: Crashpilot underachieves due to acetylation at the nerve terminal.
abstract: Protein acetylation is mostly known for its role in chromatin remodeling. In this issue, Miśkiewicz and colleagues reveal a novel function of acetylation at the nerve terminal, where it regulates T bars and the number of associated synaptic vesicles to ultimately control the efficacy of synaptic transmission.
