Recent studies have demonstrated the addition and removal of a smorgasbord of site-specific acylation modifications on lysine residues of histone tails. The study by Zhang et al. now shows how the SIRT3 histone deacylase exhibits class specificity, acting on only a subset of β-hydroxybutyrylated lysines.
