By profiling human muscle biopsies, patient-derived myotubes, and preclinical models, we discovered a conserved downregulation of mitochondrial calcium uniporter regulator 1 (MCUR1) during skeletal muscle aging that associates with human sarcopenia and impairs mtCa<sup>2+</sup> uptake and mitochondrial respiration. Through a screen of 5,000 bioactive molecules, we identify the natural polyphenol oleuropein as a specific MCU activator that stimulates mitochondrial respiration via mitochondrial calcium uptake 1 (MICU1) binding. Oleuropein activates mtCa<sup>2+</sup> uptake and energy metabolism to enhance endurance and reduce fatigue in young and aged mice but not in muscle-specific MCU knockout (KO) mice.

However, mammalian lactyl-CoA synthetases and their regulation of histone lactylation have not yet been identified. Here, we demonstrate that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activation induces extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-mediated S267 phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2) and its subsequent nuclear translocation and complex formation with lysine acetyltransferase 2A (KAT2A). Importantly, ACSS2 functions as a bona fide lactyl-CoA synthetase and converts lactate to lactyl-CoA, which binds to KAT2A as demonstrated by a co-crystal structure analysis. Consequently, KAT2A acts as a lactyltransferase to lactylate histone H3, leading to the expression of Wnt/β-catenin, NF-κB, and PD-L1 and brain tumor growth and immune evasion. A combination treatment with an ACSS2-KAT2A interaction-blocking peptide and an anti-PD-1 antibody induces an additive tumor-inhibitory effect.
