Abstract
Lysine lactylation (Kla), a recently discovered post-translational modification (PTM), is not only present in histone proteins but also widely distributed among non-histone proteins in tumor cells and immunocytes. However, the precise characterization and functional implications of these non-histone Kla proteins remain to be explored. Herein, a comprehensive proteomic analysis of Kla was conducted in HeLa cells. As a result, a total of 3633 Kla sites on 1637 proteins were identified. Subsequently, the stable Kla substrates were obtained and sorted to investigate the characterization and function of Kla proteins. Moreover, we characterized the Kla-related features of cervical cancers through integrative analyses of multiple datasets with proteomes, transcriptomes and single-cell transcriptome profiling. Kla-related genes (KRGs) were used to stratify cervical cancers into two clusters (C1 and C2). C2 cluster display inhibition in glycosylation and increased oxidative phosphorylation activity with high survival rate. In addition, we constructed a prognostic model based on two lactate signature genes, namely ISY1 and PPP1R14B. Interestingly, our findings revealed a negative correlation between PPP1R14B expression and the infiltration of CD8+ T cells, as well as a lower survival rate. This observation was further validated at the single-cell resolution. Simultaneously, we found that K140R mutant of PPP1R14B resulted in the decrease of Kla level and enhanced the proliferation and migration capabilities of cervical cancer cell lines, suggesting PPP1R14B-K140la has an effect on tumor behaviors. Collectively, we provides a Kla-based insight to understanding the characterization of cervical cancer, offering a potential avenue for therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are often linked to structural and functional impairments, such as heart defects and circulatory dysfunction, leading to compromised peripheral perfusion and heightened morbidity risks. Metabolic remodeling, particularly in the context of cardiac fibrosis and inflammation, is increasingly recognized as a pivotal factor in the pathogenesis of CVDs. Metabolic syndromes further predispose individuals to these conditions, underscoring the need to elucidate the metabolic underpinnings of CVDs. Lactate, a byproduct of glycolysis, is now recognized as a key molecule that connects cellular metabolism with the regulation of cellular activity. The transport of lactate between different cells is essential for metabolic homeostasis and signal transduction. Disruptions to lactate dynamics are implicated in various CVDs. Furthermore, lactylation, a novel post-translational modification, has been identified in cardiac cells, where it influences protein function and gene expression, thereby playing a significant role in CVD pathogenesis. In this review, we summarized recent advancements in understanding the role of lactate and lactylation in CVDs, offering fresh insights that could guide future research directions and therapeutic interventions. The potential of lactate metabolism and lactylation as innovative therapeutic targets for CVD is a promising avenue for exploration.

Abstract
Background Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), a prevalent human pathogen known for its propensity to cause severe infections, has exhibited a growing resistance to antibiotics. Lysine acetylation (Kac) is a dynamic and reversible protein post-translational modification (PTM), played important roles in various physiological functions. Recent studies have shed light on the involvement of Kac modification in bacterial antibiotic resistance. However, the precise relationship between Kac modification and antibiotic resistance in S. aureus remains inadequately comprehended. Methods We compared the differential expression of acetylated proteins between erythromycin-resistant (Ery-R) and erythromycin-susceptible (Ery-S) strains of S. aureus by 4D label-free quantitative proteomics technology. Additionally, we employed motif analysis, functional annotation and PPI network to investigate the acetylome landscape and heterogeneity of S. aureus. Furthermore, polysome profiling experiments were performed to assess the translational status of ribosome. Results 6791 Kac sites were identified on 1808 proteins in S. aureus, among which 1907 sites in 483 proteins were quantified. A total of 548 Kac sites on 316 acetylated proteins were differentially expressed by erythromycin pressure. The differentially acetylated proteins were primarily enriched in ribosome assembly, glycolysis and lysine biosynthesis. Bioinformatic analyses implied that Kac modification of ribosomal proteins may play an important role in erythromycin resistance of S. aureus. Western bolt and polysome profiling experiments indicated that the increased Kac levels of ribosomal proteins in the resistant strain may partially offset the inhibitory effect of erythromycin on ribosome function. Conclusions Our findings confirm that Kac modification is related to erythromycin resistance in S. aureus and emphasize the potential roles of ribosomal proteins. These results expand our current knowledge of antibiotic resistance mechanisms, potentially guiding future research on PTM-mediated antibiotic resistance.

[PMID: 38989468 PMCID: PMC11233973 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2024.110188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Hypoxia promotes tumorigenesis and lactate accumulation in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Lactate can induce histone lysine lactylation (Kla, a recently identified histone marks) to regulate transcription. However, the functional consequence of histone Kla under hypoxia in ESCC remains to be explored. Here, we reveal that hypoxia facilitates histone H3K9la to enhance LAMC2 transcription for proliferation of ESCC. We found that global level of Kla was elevated under hypoxia, and thus identified the landscape of histone Kla in ESCC by quantitative proteomics. Furthermore, we show a significant increase of H3K9la level induced by hypoxia. Next, MNase ChIP-seq and RNA-seq analysis suggest that H3K9la is enriched at the promoter of cell junction genes. Finally, we demonstrate that the histone H3K9la facilitates the expression of LAMC2 for ESCC invasion by in vivo and in vitro experiments. Briefly, our study reveals a vital role of histone Kla triggered by hypoxia in cancer.

Abstract
Lysine L-lactylation (Kl-la) is a novel protein posttranslational modification (PTM) driven by L-lactate. This PTM has three isomers: Kl-la, N-ε-(carboxyethyl)-lysine (Kce) and D-lactyl-lysine (Kd-la), which are often confused in the context of the Warburg effect and nuclear presence. Here we introduce two methods to differentiate these isomers: a chemical derivatization and high-performance liquid chromatography analysis for efficient separation, and isomer-specific antibodies for high-selectivity identification. We demonstrated that Kl-la is the primary lactylation isomer on histones and dynamically regulated by glycolysis, not Kd-la or Kce, which are observed when the glyoxalase system was incomplete. The study also reveals that lactyl-coenzyme A, a precursor in L-lactylation, correlates positively with Kl-la levels. This work not only provides a methodology for distinguishing other PTM isomers, but also highlights Kl-la as the primary responder to glycolysis and the Warburg effect.

Abstract
Lactylation, an emerging post-translational modification, plays a pivotal role in the initiation and progression of digestive system tumors. This study presents a comprehensive review of lactylation in digestive system tumors, underscoring its critical involvement in tumor development and progression. By focusing on metabolic reprogramming, modulation of the tumor microenvironment, and the molecular mechanisms regulating tumor progression, the potential of targeting lactylation as a therapeutic strategy is highlighted. The research reveals that lactylation participates in gene expression regulation and cell signaling by affecting the post-translational states of histones and non-histone proteins, thereby influencing metabolic pathways and immune evasion mechanisms in tumor cells. Furthermore, this study assesses the feasibility of lactylation as a therapeutic target, providing insights for clinical treatment of gastrointestinal cancers. Future research should concentrate on elucidating the mechanisms of lactylation, developing efficient lactylation inhibitors, and validating their therapeutic efficacy in clinical trials, which could transform current cancer treatment and immunotherapy approaches. In summary, this review emphasizes the crucial role of lactylation in tumorigenesis and progression through a detailed analysis of its molecular mechanisms and clinical significance.

Abstract
Sepsis is a disorder of the immune response to infection or infectious factors with high morbidity and mortality in clinical settings. The lactylation of lysine residues, fueled by lactate, plays a pivotal role in its pathophysiology. In conducting a literature review on sepsis-related research, we employed a systematic approach to ensure comprehensiveness and accuracy. Initially, we conducted an extensive literature search through the PubMed database, utilizing a range of keywords including "sepsis", "lactate", "lactylation", and "epigenetic modification". The aim was to capture the most recent research related to the pathophysiological mechanisms of sepsis, metabolic disorders, and the role of lactylation. The results of the literature review revealed a close link between sepsis and metabolic dysfunction, particularly the pivotal role of lactylation in regulating immune responses and inflammatory processes. Lactate, not only an energy metabolic byproduct produced during glycolysis, affects the activity of various proteins, including those involved in immune regulation and cell signaling, through lactylation. In the context of sepsis, changes in the levels of lactylation may be closely associated with the severity and prognosis of the disease. In summary, lactylation, as an emerging type of epigenetic modification, provides a new perspective for the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis. Future research needs to further elucidate the exact mechanisms of lactylation in sepsis and explore its potential as a therapeutic target.

Abstract
Lactic acid, traditionally considered as a metabolic waste product arising from glycolysis, has undergone a resurgence in scientific interest since the discovery of the Warburg effect in tumor cells. Numerous studies have proved that lactic acid could promote angiogenesis and impair the function of immune cells within tumor microenvironments. Nevertheless, the precise molecular mechanisms governing these biological functions remain inadequately understood. Recently, lactic acid has been found to induce a posttranslational modification, lactylation, that may offer insight into lactic acid's non-metabolic functions. Notably, the posttranslational modification of proteins by lactylation has emerged as a crucial mechanism by which lactate regulates cellular processes. This article provides an overview of the discovery of lactate acidification, outlines the potential "writers" and "erasers" responsible for protein lactylation, presents an overview of protein lactylation patterns across different organisms, and discusses the diverse physiological roles of lactylation. Besides, the article highlights the latest research progress concerning the regulatory functions of protein lactylation in pathological processes and underscores its scientific significance for future investigations.

Abstract
Lysine crotonylation has attracted widespread attention in recent years. However, little is known about bacterial crotonylation, particularly crotonyltransferase and decrotonylase, and its effects on antibiotic resistance. Our study demonstrates the ubiquitous presence of crotonylation in E. coli, which promotes bacterial resistance to polymyxin. We identify the crotonyltransferase YjgM and its regulatory pathways in E. coli with a focus on crotonylation. Further studies show that YjgM upregulates the crotonylation of the substrate protein PmrA, thereby boosting PmrA's affinity for binding to the promoter of eptA, which, in turn, promotes EptA expression and confers polymyxin resistance in E. coli. Additionally, we discover that PmrA's crucial crotonylation site and functional site is Lys 164. These significant discoveries highlight the role of crotonylation in bacterial drug resistance and offer a fresh perspective on creating antibacterial compounds.

Abstract
The fate of sulfonamide antibiotics in farmlands is crucial for food and ecological safety, yet it remains unclear. We used [phenyl-U-14C]-labeled sulfamethoxazole (14C-SMX) to quantitatively investigate the fate of SMX in a soil-maize system for 60 days, based on a six-pool fate model. Formation of nonextractable residues (NERs) was the predominant fate for SMX in unplanted soil, accompanied by minor mineralization. Notably, maize plants significantly increased SMX dissipation (kinetic constant kd = 0.30 day-1 vs 0.17 day-1), while substantially reducing the NER formation (92% vs 58% of initially applied SMX) and accumulating SMX (40%, mostly bound to roots). Significant NERs (maximal 29-42%) were formed via physicochemical entrapment (determined using silylation), which could partially be released and taken up by maize plants. The NERs consisted of a considerable amount of SMX formed via entrapment (1-8%) and alkali-hydrolyzable covalent bonds (2-12%, possibly amide linkage). Six and 10 transformation products were quantified in soil extracts and NERs, respectively, including products of hydroxyl substitution, deamination, and N-acylation, among which N-lactylated SMX was found for the first time. Our findings reveal the composition and instability of SMX-derived NERs in the soil-plant system and underscore the need to study the long-term impacts of reversible NERs.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2024; 15:1328679. [PMID: 38779451 PMCID: PMC11109423 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2024.1328679] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective The established link between posttranslational modifications of histone and non-histone lysine (K) residues in cell metabolism, and their role in cancer progression, is well-documented. However, the lactylation expression signature in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains underexplored. Methods We conducted a comprehensive lactylproteome profiling of eight pairs of TNBC samples and their matched adjacent tissues. This was achieved through 4-Dimensional label-free quantitative proteomics combined with lactylation analysis (4D-LFQP-LA). The expression of identified lactylated proteins in TNBC was detected using immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry (IHC) with specific primary antibodies, and their clinicopathological and prognostic significance was evaluated. Results Our analysis identified 58 lactylation sites on 48 proteins, delineating the protein lactylation alteration signature in TNBC. Bioinformatic and functional analyses indicated that these lactylated proteins play crucial roles in regulating key biological processes in TNBC. Notably, lactylation of lysine at position 12 (H4K12lac) in the histone H4 domain was found to be upregulated in TNBC. Further investigations showed a high prevalence of H4K12lac upregulation in TNBC, with positive rates of 93.19% (137/147) and 92.93% (92/99) in TNBC tissue chip and validation cohorts, respectively. H4K12lac expression correlated positively with Ki-67 and inversely with overall survival (OS) in TNBC (HR [hazard ratio] =2.813, 95%CI [credibility interval]: 1.242-6.371, P=0.0164), suggesting its potential as an independent prognostic marker (HR=3.477, 95%CI: 1.324-9.130, P=0.011). Conclusions Lactylation is a significant post-translational modification in TNBC proteins. H4K12lac emerges as a promising biomarker for TNBC, offering insights into the lactylation profiles of TNBC proteins and linking histone modifications to clinical implications in TNBC.

Abstract
Lysine lactylation (Kla) links metabolism and gene regulation and plays a key role in multiple biological processes. However, the regulatory mechanism and functional consequence of Kla remain to be explored. Here, we report that HBO1 functions as a lysine lactyltransferase to regulate transcription. We show that HBO1 catalyzes the addition of Kla in vitro and intracellularly, and E508 is a key site for the lactyltransferase activity of HBO1. Quantitative proteomic analysis further reveals 95 endogenous Kla sites targeted by HBO1, with the majority located on histones. Using site-specific antibodies, we find that HBO1 may preferentially catalyze histone H3K9la and scaffold proteins including JADE1 and BRPF2 can promote the enzymatic activity for histone Kla. Notably, CUT&Tag assays demonstrate that HBO1 is required for histone H3K9la on transcription start sites (TSSs). Besides, the regulated Kla can promote key signaling pathways and tumorigenesis, which is further supported by evaluating the malignant behaviors of HBO1- knockout (KO) tumor cells, as well as the level of histone H3K9la in clinical tissues. Our study reveals HBO1 serves as a lactyltransferase to mediate a histone Kla-dependent gene transcription.

Abstract
Lysine acylation has been extensively investigated due to its regulatory role in a diverse range of biological functions across prokaryotic and eukaryotic species. In-depth acylomic profiles have the potential to enhance comprehension of the biological implications of organisms. However, the extent of research on global acylation profiles in microorganisms is limited. Here, four lysine acylomes were conducted in Bacillus thuringiensis by using the LC-MS/MS based proteomics combined with antibody-enrichment strategies, and a total of 3438 acetylated sites, 5797 propionylated sites, 1705 succinylated sites, and 925 malonylated sites were identified. The motif analysis of these modified proteins revealed a high conservation of glutamate in acetylation and propionylation, whereas such conservation was not observed in succinylation and malonylation modifications. Besides, conservation analysis showed that homologous acylated proteins in Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli were connected with ribosome and aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis. Further biological experiments showed that lysine acylation lowered the RNA binding ability of CodY and impaired the in vivo protein activity of MetK. In conclusion, our study expanded the current understanding of the global acylation in Bacillus, and the comparative analysis demonstrated that shared acylation proteins could play important roles in regulating both metabolism and RNA transcription progression.

Abstract
For decades, lactate has been considered a byproduct of glycolysis. The lactate shuttle hypothesis shifted the lactate paradigm, demonstrating that lactate not only plays important roles in cellular metabolism but also cellular communications, which can transcend compartment barriers and can occur within and among different cells, tissues and organs. Recently, the discovery that lactate can induce a novel post-translational modification, named lysine lactylation (Kla), brings forth a new avenue to study nonmetabolic functions for lactate, which has inspired a 'gold rush' of academic and commercial interest. Zhang et al. first showed that Kla is manifested in histones as epigenetic marks, and then mounting evidences demonstrated that Kla also occurs in diverse non-histone proteins. The widespread Kla faithfully orchestrates numerous biological processes, such as transcription, metabolism and inflammatory responses. Notably, dysregulation of Kla touches a myriad of pathological processes. In this review, we comprehensively reviewed and curated the existing literature to retrieve the new identified Kla sites on both histones and non-histone proteins and summarized recent major advances toward its regulatory mechanism. We also thoroughly investigated the function and underlying signaling pathway of Kla and comprehensively summarize how Kla regulates various biological processes in normal physiological states. In addition, we also further highlight the effects of Kla in the development of human diseases including inflammation response, tumorigenesis, cardiovascular and nervous system diseases and other complex diseases, which might potentially contribute to deeply understanding and interpreting the mechanism of its pathogenicity.

Abstract
During phage infection, both virus and bacteria attempt to gain and/or maintain control over critical bacterial functions, through a plethora of strategies. These strategies include posttranslational modifications (PTMs, including phosphorylation, ribosylation, and acetylation), as rapid and dynamic regulators of protein behavior. However, to date, knowledge on the topic remains scarce and fragmented, while a more systematic investigation lies within reach. The release of AlphaFold, which advances PTM enzyme discovery and functional elucidation, and the increasing inclusivity and scale of mass spectrometry applications to new PTM types, could significantly accelerate research in the field. In this review, we highlight the current knowledge on PTMs during phage infection, and conceive a possible pipeline for future research, following an enzyme-target-function scheme.

CobB-mediated deacetylation of the chaperone CesA regulates Escherichia coli O157:H7 virulence. Gut Microbes 2024; 16:2331435. [PMID: 38502202 PMCID: PMC10956630 DOI: 10.1080/19490976.2024.2331435] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2024] [Indexed: 03/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 is a common food-borne pathogen that can cause acute diseases. Lysine acetylation is a post-translational modification (PTM) that occurs in various prokaryotes and is regulated by CobB, the only deacetylase found in bacteria. Here, we demonstrated that CobB plays an important role in the virulence of EHEC O157:H7 and that deletion of cobB significantly decreased the intestinal colonization ability of bacteria. Using acetylation proteomic studies, we systematically identified several proteins that could be regulated by CobB in EHEC O157:H7. Among these CobB substrates, we found that acetylation at the K44 site of CesA, a chaperone for the type-III secretion system (T3SS) translocator protein EspA, weakens its binding to EspA, thereby reducing the stability of this virulence factor; this PTM ultimately attenuating the virulence of EHEC O157:H7. Furthermore, we showed that deacetylation of the K44 site, which is deacetylated by CobB, promotes the interaction between CesA and EspA, thereby increasing bacterial virulence in vitro and in animal experiments. In summary, we showed that acetylation influences the virulence of EHEC O157:H7, and uncovered the mechanism by which CobB contributes to bacterial virulence based on the regulation of CesA deacetylation.

Abstract
Sirtuins are a group of NAD+-dependent deacylases that conserved in three domains of life and comprehensively involved in the regulation of gene transcription, chromosome segregation, RNA splicing, apoptosis, and aging. Previous studies in mammalian cells have revealed that sirtuins not only exist as multiple copies, but also show distinct deacylase activities in addition to deacetylation. However, the understanding of sirtuin zymographs in other organisms with respect to molecular evolution remains at an early stage. Here, we systematically analyze the sirtuin activities in representative species from archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes, using both the HPLC assay and a 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin-based fluorogenic method. Global profiling suggests that the deacylase activities of sirtuins could be divided into three categories and reveals undifferentiated zymographs of class III sirtuins, especially for those from bacteria and archaea. Nevertheless, initial differentiation of enzymatic activity was also observed for the class III sirtuins at both paralog and ortholog levels. Further phylogenetic analyses support a divergent evolution of sirtuin that may originate from class III sirtuins. Together, this work demonstrates a comprehensive panorama of sirtuin zymographs and provides new insights into the cellular specific regulation and molecular evolution of sirtuins.

Abstract
Histones undergo a plethora of post-translational modifications (PTMs) that regulate nucleosome and chromatin dynamics and thus dictate cell fate. Several evidences suggest that the accumulation of epigenetic alterations is one of the key driving forces triggering aberrant cellular proliferation, invasion, metastasis and chemoresistance pathways. Recently a novel class of histone "non-enzymatic covalent modifications" (NECMs), correlating epigenome landscape and metabolic rewiring, have been described. These modifications are tightly related to cell metabolic fitness and are able to impair chromatin architecture. During metabolic reprogramming, the high metabolic flux induces the accumulation of metabolic intermediate and/or by-products able to react with histone tails altering epigenome homeostasis. The accumulation of histone NECMs is a damaging condition that cancer cells counteracts by overexpressing peculiar "eraser" enzymes capable of removing these modifications preserving histones architecture. In this review we explored the well-established NECMs, emphasizing the role of their corresponding eraser enzymes. Additionally, we provide a parterre of drugs aiming to target those eraser enzymes with the intent to propose novel routes of personalized medicine based on the identification of epi-biomarkers which might be selectively targeted for therapy.

Abstract
In eukaryotes, lactate produced during glycolysis is involved in regulating multiple metabolic processes through lysine lactylation (Kla). To explore the potential link between metabolism and Kla in prokaryotes, we investigated the distribution of Kla in the cariogenic bacterium Streptococcus mutans during planktonic growth in low-sugar conditions and in biofilm-promoting, high-sugar conditions. We identified 1869 Kla sites in 469 proteins under these two conditions, with the biofilm growth state showing a greater number of lactylated sites and proteins. Although high sugar increased Kla globally, it reduced lactylation of RNA polymerase subunit α (RpoA) at Lys173. Lactylation at this residue inhibited the synthesis of extracellular polysaccharides, a major constituent of the cariogenic biofilm. The Gcn5-related N-acetyltransferase (GNAT) superfamily enzyme GNAT13 exhibited lysine lactyltransferase activity in cells and lactylated Lys173 in RpoA in vitro. Either GNAT13 overexpression or lactylation of Lys173 in RpoA inhibited biofilm formation. These results provide an overview of the distribution and potential functions of Kla and improve our understanding of the role of lactate in the metabolic regulation of prokaryotes.

Abstract
As critical executors regulating many cellular operations, proteins determine whether living activities can be performed in an orderly and efficient manner. Precursor proteins are inert and must be modified posttranslationally to enable a wide range of protein types and functions. Protein posttranslational modifications (PTMs) are well recognized as being directly associated with carcinogenesis and immune modulation and have emerged as important targets for cancer detection and treatment. Lactylation (Kla), a novel PTM associated with cellular metabolism found in a wide range of cells, interacts with both histone and nonhistone proteins. Unlike other epigenetic changes, Kla has been linked to poor tumor prognosis in all current studies. Histone Kla can affect gene expression in tumors and immunological cells, thereby promoting malignancy and immunosuppression. Nonhistone proteins can also regulate tumor progression and treatment resistance through Kla. In this review, we aimed to summarize the role of Kla in the onset and progression of cancers, metabolic reprogramming, immunosuppression, and intestinal flora regulation to identify new molecular targets for cancer therapy and provide a new direction for combined targeted therapy and immunotherapy.

Abstract
Cellular metabolites are ancient molecules with pleiotropic implications in health and disease. Beyond their cognate roles, they have signaling functions as the ligands for specific receptors and the precursors for epigenetic or posttranslational modifications. Lactate has long been recognized as a metabolic waste and fatigue product mainly produced from glycolytic metabolism. Recent evidence however suggests lactate is an unique molecule with diverse signaling attributes in orchestration of numerous biological processes, including tumor immunity and neuronal survival. The copious metabolic and non-metabolic functions of lactate mediated by its bidirectional shuttle between cells or intracellular organelles lead to a phenotype called "lactormone." Importantly, the mechanisms of lactate signaling, via acting as a molecular sensor and a regulator of NAD+ metabolism and AMP-activated protein kinase signaling, and via the newly identified lactate-driven lactylation, have been discovered. Further, we include a brief discussion about the autocrine regulation of efferocytosis by lactate in Sertoli cells which favoraerobic glycolysis. By emphasizing a repertoire of the most recent discovered mechanisms of lactate signaling, this review will open tantalizing avenues for future investigations cracking the regulatory topology of lactate signaling covered in the veil of mystery.
