Post-translational protein modifications (PTMs) orchestrate the activity of individual proteins and ensure their proper function. While modifications such as phosphorylation or glycosylation are well understood, more unusual modifications, including nitrosylation or AMPylation remain comparatively poorly characterized. Research on protein AMPylation-which refers to the covalent addition of an AMP moiety to the side chains of serine, threonine or tyrosine-has undergone a renaissance (Yarbrough
