Chinese scientists unravel cGNAT2 role in cyanobacteria

Cyanobacteria are a diverse group of gram-negative bacteria that conduct plant-like oxygenic photosynthesis and are thought to be the evolutionary ancestors of chloroplasts in higher plants. Lysine acetylation is an important regulatory posttranslational modification that controls photosynthesis and metabolic processes in cyanobacteria and plants.

Yuan et al. characterize a recently evolved BAHD #acetyltransferase and find it is both crucial to #soybean germination and also a promising target for #breeding new varieties with lower bitter #soyasaponin content.
