摘要

Histone l-lactylation is a newly identified, metabolism-linked short-chain Lys acylation. Mounting evidence indicates that Lys l-lactylation has key roles in transcription regulation and many other cellular processes and is associated with diverse pathophysiological changes. In this Review, we discuss the unique features of histone l-lactylation, emphasizing the differences between l-lactylation and its isomers, such as d-lactylation. We discuss the regulation of l-lactylation by writers and erasers, its readers and its cofactor l-lactyl-CoA. We highlight the dynamic regulation of nuclear l-lactyl-CoA and l-lactyl-CoA synthetases, which are crucial determinants of the specificity of histone Lys l-lactylation. We also discuss an emerging l-lactyl-CoA-independent l-lactylation pathway. By integrating these findings, we aim to deepen our understanding of the biochemistry and regulation of histone l-lactylation and its broad biological significance.
