The Role of Protein Acetylation during Viral Infection

Protein acetylation is a kind of PTM (post-translational modification) of the protein, which can participate in regulating various biological processes. When the virus infects the host, the virus will employ acetylation machinery to influence its replication and proliferation. At the same time, the host will also initiate its own antiviral innate immune response to deal with foreign matter for protecting itself, limiting the proliferation of the virus, and even eliminating pathogens. In this paper, the roles of protein acetylation modification during viral infection are reviewed from the perspectives of the virus and host.
