title: Acetylphosphate: a novel link between lysine acetylation and intermediary metabolism in bacteria.
abstract: In this issue of Molecular Cell, Weinert et al. (2013) demonstrate that the intermediary metabolite acetyl-phosphate is an important acetyl donor that contributes to global protein acetylation in growth-arrested E. coli.
