Lysine and arginine methylation is an important regulator of enzyme activity and transcription in eukaryotes. However, little is known about this covalent modification in bacteria. In this work, we investigated the role of methylation in bacteria. By reanalyzing a large phyloproteomics data set from 48 bacterial strains representing six phyla, we found that almost a quarter of the bacterial proteome is methylated. Many of these methylated proteins are conserved across diverse bacterial lineages, ...[more]
