Host metabolic reprogramming plays a role in functional responses against pathogens. Here, the authors characterise malonylated proteins in macrophages and show that malonylation of the glycolytic enzyme GAPDH impacts cytokine production by modulating both its enzymatic activity and RNA-binding capacity.
