Lysine Propionylation is a Widespread Post-Translational Modification Involved in Regulation of Photosynthesis and Metabolism in Cyanobacteria. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20194792.

Abstract
Lysine propionylation is a reversible and widely distributed post-translational modification that is known to play a regulatory role in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. However, the extent and function of lysine propionylation in photosynthetic organisms remains unclear. Cyanobacteria are the most ancient group of Gram-negative bacteria capable of oxygenic photosynthesis, and are of great importance to global carbon and nitrogen cycles. Here, we carried out a systematic study of lysine propionylaiton in cyanobacteria where we used Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (Synechocystis) as a model. Combining high-affinity anti-propionyllysine pan antibodies with high-accuracy mass spectrometry (MS) analysis, we identified 111 unique lysine propionylation sites on 69 proteins in Synechocystis. Further bioinformatic analysis showed that a large fraction of the propionylated proteins were involved in photosynthesis and metabolism. The functional significance of lysine propionylation on the enzymatic activity of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FbpI) was studied by site-directed mutagenesis and biochemical studies. Further functional studies revealed that the propionylation level of subunit II of photosystem I (PsaD) was obviously increased after high light (HL) treatment, suggesting that propionylation may be involved in high light adaption in Synechocystis. Thus, our findings provide novel insights into the range of functions regulated by propionylation and reveal that reversible propionylation is a functional modification with the potential to regulate photosynthesis and carbon metabolism in Synechocystis, as well as in other photosynthetic organisms.

Abstract
Recently discovered acylation by reactive acyl-CoA species is considered a novel regulatory mechanism in epigenetics and metabolism. Established analytical methods like Western blotting and proteomics fail to detect the plethora of acylation structures in a single analysis and lack the ability of absolute quantitation. In this paper, we developed an HPLC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous detection and quantitation of 14 acylated lysine species in biological samples. Extensive effort was invested into method validation resulting in recovery rates between 75 and 93% and levels of detection in the nanomolar range. Thus, we were able to quantitate 8 acylation structures in mouse liver, kidney, heart, and brain. Further enrichment by repetitive HPLC fractionation resulted in the quantitation of 6 additional acylation structures including 4 novel modifications: N6-acetoacetyl lysine, N6-isovaleryl lysine, N6-(2-methylbutyryl) lysine, and N6-tiglyl lysine.

Abstract
Lysine crotonylation is a newly discovered post‐translational modification, which is structurally and functionally different from the widely studied lysine acetylation. Recent advances in the identification and quantification of lysine crotonylation by mass spectrometry have revealed that non‐histone proteins are frequently crotonylated, implicating it in many biological processes through the regulation of chromatin remodelling, metabolism, cell cycle and cellular organization. In this review, we summarize the writers, erasers and readers of lysine crotonylation, and their physiological functions, including gene transcription, acute kidney injury, spermatogenesis, depression, telomere maintenance, HIV latency and cancer process. These findings not only point to the new functions for lysine crotonylation, but also highlight the mechanisms by which crotonylation regulates various cellular processes.

Abstract
Metabolism and gene expression, which are two fundamental biological processes that are essential to all living organisms, reciprocally regulate each other to maintain homeostasis and regulate cell growth, survival and differentiation. Metabolism feeds into the regulation of gene expression via metabolic enzymes and metabolites, which can modulate chromatin directly or indirectly - through regulation of the activity of chromatin trans-acting proteins, including histone-modifying enzymes, chromatin-remodelling complexes and transcription regulators. Deregulation of these metabolic activities has been implicated in human diseases, prominently including cancer.

Abstract
Proteins undergo acetylation at the Nε-amino group of lysine residues and the Nα-amino group of the N terminus in Archaea as in Bacteria and Eukarya. However, the extent, pattern and roles of the modifications in Archaea remain poorly understood. Here we report the proteomic analyses of a wild-type Sulfolobus islandicus strain and its mutant derivative strains lacking either a homolog of the protein acetyltransferase Pat (ΔSisPat) or a homolog of the Nt-acetyltransferase Ard1 (ΔSisArd1). A total of 1708 Nε-acetylated lysine residues in 684 proteins (26% of the total proteins), and 158 Nt-acetylated proteins (44% of the identified proteins) were found in S. islandicus ΔSisArd1 grew more slowly than the parental strain, whereas ΔSisPat showed no significant growth defects. Only 24 out of the 1503 quantifiable Nε-acetylated lysine residues were differentially acetylated, and all but one of the 24 residues were less acetylated by >1.3 fold in ΔSisPat than in the parental strain, indicating the narrow substrate specificity of the enzyme. Six acyl-CoA synthetases were the preferred substrates of SisPat in vivo, suggesting that Nε-acetylation by the acetyltransferase is involved in maintaining metabolic balance in the cell. Acetylation of acyl-CoA synthetases by SisPat occurred at a sequence motif conserved among all three domains of life. On the other hand, 92% of the acetylated N termini identified were acetylated by SisArd1 in the cell. The enzyme exhibited broad substrate specificity and could modify nearly all types of the target N termini of human NatA-NatF. The deletion of the SisArd1 gene altered the cellular levels of 18% of the quantifiable proteins (1518) by >1.5 fold. Consistent with the growth phenotype of ΔSisArd1, the cellular levels of proteins involved in cell division and cell cycle control, DNA replication, and purine synthesis were significantly lowered in the mutant than those in the parental strain.

Abstract
Research over the past three decades has firmly established lysine acetyltransferases (KATs) as central players in regulating transcription. Recent advances in genomic sequencing, metabolomics, animal models and mass spectrometry technologies have uncovered unexpected new roles for KATs at the nexus between the environment and transcriptional regulation. Thousands of reversible acetylation sites have been mapped in the proteome that respond dynamically to the cellular milieu and maintain major processes such as metabolism, autophagy and stress response. Concurrently, researchers are continuously uncovering how deregulation of KAT activity drives disease, including cancer and developmental syndromes characterized by severe intellectual disability. These novel findings are reshaping our view of KATs away from mere modulators of chromatin to detectors of the cellular environment and integrators of diverse signalling pathways with the ability to modify cellular phenotype.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTM) decorate proteins to provide functional heterogeneity to an existing proteome. The large number of known PTMs highlights the many ways that cells can modify their proteins to respond to diverse stimuli. Recently, PTMs have begun to receive increased interest because new sensitive proteomics workflows and structural methodologies now allow researchers to obtain large-scale, in-depth and unbiased information concerning PTM type and site localization. However, few PTMs have been extensively assessed for functional consequences, leaving a large knowledge gap concerning the inner workings of the cell. Here, we review understanding of N-𝜀-lysine acetylation in bacteria, a PTM that was largely ignored in bacteria until a decade ago. Acetylation is a modification that can dramatically change the function of a protein through alteration of its properties, including hydrophobicity, solubility, and surface properties, all of which may influence protein conformation and interactions with substrates, cofactors and other macromolecules. Most bacteria carry genes predicted to encode the lysine acetyltransferases and lysine deacetylases that add and remove acetylations, respectively. Many bacteria also exhibit acetylation activities that do not depend on an enzyme, but instead on direct transfer of acetyl groups from the central metabolites acetyl coenzyme A or acetyl phosphate. Regardless of mechanism, most central metabolic enzymes possess lysines that are acetylated in a regulated fashion and many of these regulated sites are conserved across the spectrum of bacterial phylogeny. The interconnectedness of acetylation and central metabolism suggests that acetylation may be a response to nutrient availability or the energy status of the cell. However, this and other hypotheses related to acetylation remain untested.

Molecular basis for hierarchical histone de-β-hydroxybutyrylation by SIRT3. Cell Discov 2019; 5:35.

Abstract
Chemical modifications on histones constitute a key mechanism for gene regulation in chromatin context. Recently, histone lysine β-hydroxybutyrylation (Kbhb) was identified as a new form of histone acylation that connects starvation-responsive metabolism to epigenetic regulation. Sirtuins are a family of NAD+-dependent deacetylases. Through systematic profiling studies, we show that human SIRT3 displays class-selective histone de-β-hydroxybutyrylase activities with preference for H3 K4, K9, K18, K23, K27, and H4K16, but not for H4 K5, K8, K12, which distinguishes it from the Zn-dependent HDACs. Structural studies revealed a hydrogen bond-lined hydrophobic pocket favored for the S-form Kbhb recognition and catalysis. β-backbone but not side chain-mediated interactions around Kbhb dominate sequence motif recognition, explaining the broad site-specificity of SIRT3. The observed class-selectivity of SIRT3 is due to an entropically unfavorable barrier associated with the glycine-flanking motif that the histone Kbhb resides in. Collectively, we reveal the molecular basis for class-selective histone de-β-hydroxybutyrylation by SIRT3, shedding lights on the function of sirtuins in Kbhb biology through hierarchical deacylation.

Abstract
Gut microbiota communities have coevolved for millions of years in a symbiotic relationship with their mammalian hosts. Elucidating and understanding the molecular mechanisms by which microbiota interacts with its host and how this contributes to the homeostasis of the host is crucial. One of these molecular relationships is the so-called chemical crosstalk between microbiota and host metabolisms, including the poorly explored epigenetic regulation of host tissues by the metabolic activity of gut microbiota in response to changes in diet. DNA methylation and histone modifications are epigenetic marks partly regulated by enzymes such as methylases and acetylases, whose activity depend on host and microbiota metabolites that act as substrates and cofactors for these reactions. However, providing a complete mechanistic description of the regulatory interactions between both metabolisms and the impact on the expression of host genes through an epigenetic modulation, remains elusive. This article presents our perspective on how metabolomic, metagenomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic data can be used to investigate the "microbiota-nutrient metabolism-epigenetics axis." We also discuss the implications and opportunities this knowledge may have for basic and applied science, such as the impact on the way we structure future research, understand, and prevent diseases like type 2 diabetes or obesity.

Abstract
The bone tissue is a dynamic complex that constitutes of several interdependent systems and is continuously remodeled through the concerted actions of bone cells. Osteoblasts are mononucleated cells, derived from mesenchymal stem cells, responsible for bone formation. Osteoclasts are large multinucleated cells that differentiate from hematopoietic progenitors of the myeloid lineage and are responsible for bone resorption. The lineage-specific differentiation of bone cells requires an epigenetic regulation of gene expressions involving chromatin dynamics. The key step for understanding gene regulatory networks during bone cell development lies in characterizing the chromatin modifying enzymes responsible for reorganizing and potentiating particular chromatin structure. This review covers the histone-modifying enzymes involved in bone development, discusses the impact of enzymes on gene expression, and provides future directions and clinical significance in this area.

Abstract
Fungal secondary metabolites are small molecules that exhibit diverse biological activities exploited in medicine, industry and agriculture. Their biosynthesis is governed by co-expressed genes that often co-localize in gene clusters. Most of these secondary metabolite gene clusters are inactive under laboratory conditions, which is due to a tight transcriptional regulation. Modifications of chromatin, the complex of DNA and histone proteins influencing DNA accessibility, play an important role in this regulation. However, tinkering with well-characterised chemical and genetic modifications that affect chromatin alters the expression of only few biosynthetic gene clusters, and thus the regulation of the vast majority of biosynthetic pathways remains enigmatic. In the past, attempts to activate silent gene clusters in fungi mainly focused on histone acetylation and methylation, while in other eukaryotes many other post-translational modifications are involved in transcription regulation. Thus, how chromatin regulates the expression of gene clusters remains a largely unexplored research field. In this review, we argue that focusing on only few well-characterised chromatin modifications is significantly hampering our understanding of the chromatin-based regulation of biosynthetic gene clusters. Research on underexplored chromatin modifications and on the interplay between different modifications is timely to fully explore the largely untapped reservoir of fungal secondary metabolites.

Abstract
Growing appreciation of the diversity of post-translational modifications (PTMs) in the mitochondria necessitates reevaluation of the roles these modifications play in both health and disease. Compared to the cytosol and nucleus, the mitochondrial proteome is highly acylated, and remodeling of the mitochondrial "acylome" is a key adaptive mechanism that regulates fundamental aspects of mitochondrial biology. It is clear that we need to understand the underlying chemistry that regulates mitochondrial acylation, as well as how chemical properties of the acyl chain impact biological functions. Here, we dissect the sources of PTMs in the mitochondria, review major mitochondrial pathways that control levels of PTMs, and highlight how sirtuin enzymes respond to the bioenergetic state of the cell via NAD+ availability to regulate mitochondrial biology. By providing a framework connecting the chemistry of these modifications, their biochemical consequences, and the pathways that regulate the levels of acyl PTMs, we will gain a deeper understanding of the physiological significance of mitochondrial acylation and its role in mitochondrial adaptation.

Abstract
DNA and histone proteins define the structure and composition of chromatin. Histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs) are covalent chemical groups capable of modeling chromatin accessibility, mostly due to their ability in recruiting enzymes responsible for DNA readout and remodeling. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics is the methodology of choice for large-scale identification and quantification of protein PTMs, including histones. High sensitivity proteomics requires online MS coupling with relatively low throughput and poorly robust nano-liquid chromatography (nanoLC) and, for histone proteins, a 2-d sample preparation that includes histone purification, derivatization, and digestion. We present a new protocol that achieves quantitative data on about 200 histone PTMs from tissue or cell lines in 7 h from start to finish. This protocol includes 4 h of histone extraction, 3 h of derivatization and digestion, and only 1 min of MS analysis via direct injection (DI-MS). We demonstrate that this sample preparation can be parallelized for 384 samples by using multichannel pipettes and 96-well plates. We also engineered the sequence of a synthetic "histone-like" peptide to spike into the sample, of which derivatization and digestion benchmarks the quality of the sample preparation. We ensure that DI-MS does not introduce biases in histone peptide ionization as compared to nanoLC-MS/MS by producing and analyzing a library of synthetically modified histone peptides mixed in equal molarity. Finally, we introduce EpiProfileLite for comprehensive analysis of this new data type. Altogether, our workflow is suitable for high-throughput screening of >1000 samples per day using a single mass spectrometer.

Bai F, Tu T, Qin F, Ma Y, Liu N, Liu Y, Liao X, Zhou S, Liu Q. Quantitative proteomics of changes in succinylated proteins expression profiling in left appendages tissue from valvular heart disease patients with atrial fibrillation. Clin Chim Acta 2019; 495:345-354. [PMID: 31059701 DOI: 10.1016/j.cca.2019.05.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2019] [Revised: 04/15/2019] [Accepted: 05/02/2019] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested that proteomic modifications are closely associated with cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to identify potential mechanisms by profiling the changes in succinylated protein expression in left appendage tissues from patients with valvular heart disease and atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS Using dimethyl labeling for relative and absolute quantification-coupled high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, we analyzed the proteomics profiles and succinylation events in 18 left atrial appendage tissue samples from patients who underwent cardiac valvular surgery, including nine patients with permanent AF and nine patients with sinus rhythm (SR). RESULTS In total, after setting the quantification ratio > 1.3 and < 1:1.3 representing the up- and downregulated cutoff values, respectively, 132 proteins were classified as targets of upregulation and 117 proteins as targets of downregulation. Within these proteins, 246 sites exhibited upregulated succinylation and 45 sites exhibited downregulated succinylation. Protein-protein interaction networks showed that the proteins exhibiting lysine succinylation and AF status were highly enriched in energy metabolism, extracellular matrix-related, and cellular structure-related proteins. These results were confirmed by western blot. CONCLUSIONS The differences in succinylation level of energy metabolism-related proteins indicates the possible involvement of these proteins in AF of valvular heart disease patients, and provide insight for further analysis of their biological functions.

Acetylation & Co: an expanding repertoire of histone acylations regulates chromatin and transcription. Essays Biochem 2019; 63:97-107.

Abstract
Packaging the long and fragile genomes of eukaryotic species into nucleosomes is all well and good, but how do cells gain access to the DNA again after it has been bundled away? The solution, in every species from yeast to man, is to post-translationally modify histones, altering their chemical properties to either relax the chromatin, label it for remodelling or make it more compact still. Histones are subject to a myriad of modifications: acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination etc. This review focuses on histone acylations, a diverse group of modifications which occur on the ε-amino group of Lysine residues and includes the well-characterised Lysine acetylation. Over the last 50 years, histone acetylation has been extensively characterised, with the discovery of histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs), and global mapping experiments, revealing an association of hyperacetylated histones with accessible, transcriptionally active chromatin. More recently, there has been an explosion in the number of unique short chain ‘acylations’ identified by MS, including: propionylation, butyrylation, crotonylation, succinylation, malonylation and 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation. These novel modifications add a range of chemical environments to histones, and similar to acetylation, appear to accumulate at transcriptional start sites and correlate with gene activity.

Chromodomain Y-like Protein-Mediated Histone Crotonylation Regulates Stress-Induced Depressive Behaviors. Biol Psychiatry 2019; 85:635-649.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Major depressive disorder is a prevalent and life-threatening illness in modern society. The susceptibility to major depressive disorder is profoundly influenced by environmental factors, such as stressful lifestyle or traumatic events, which could impose maladaptive transcriptional program through epigenetic regulation. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we examined the role of histone crotonylation, a novel type of histone modification, and chromodomain Y-like protein (CDYL), a crotonyl-coenzyme A hydratase and histone methyllysine reader, in this process. METHODS We used chronic social defeat stress and microdefeat stress to examine the depressive behaviors. In addition, we combined procedures that diagnose behavioral strategy in male mice with histone extraction, viral-mediated CDYL manipulations, RNA sequencing, chromatin immunoprecipitation, Western blot, and messenger RNA quantification. RESULTS The results indicate that stress-susceptible rodents exhibit lower levels of histone crotonylation in the medial prefrontal cortex concurrent with selective upregulation of CDYL. Overexpression of CDYL in the prelimbic cortex, a subregion of the medial prefrontal cortex, increases microdefeat-induced social avoidance behaviors and anhedonia in mice. Conversely, knockdown of CDYL in the prelimbic cortex prevents chronic social defeat stress-induced depression-like behaviors. Mechanistically, we show that CDYL inhibits structural synaptic plasticity mainly by transcriptional repression of neuropeptide VGF nerve growth factor inducible, and this activity is dependent on its dual effect on histone crotonylation and H3K27 trimethylation on the VGF promoter. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate that CDYL-mediated histone crotonylation plays a critical role in regulating stress-induced depression, providing a potential therapeutic target for major depressive disorder.

Abstract
p53 is an essential tumor suppressor, whose activity is finely tuned by the posttranslational modifications. Previous research has reported that β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) induces β-hydroxybutyrylation (Kbhb), which is a novel histone posttranslational modification. Here we report that p53 is modified by kbhb and that this modification occurs at lysines 120, 319, and 370 of p53. We demonstrate that the level of p53 kbhb is dramatically increased in cultured cells treated with BHB and in thymus tissues of fasted mice, and that CBP catalyze p53 kbhb. We show that p53 kbhb results in lower levels of p53 acetylation and reduced expression of the p53 downstream genes p21 and PUMA, as well as reduced cell growth arrest and apoptosis in cultured cells under p53-activating conditions. Similar results were observed in mouse thymus tissue under starvation conditions, which result in increased concentrations of serum BHB, and in response to genotoxic stress caused by γ-irradiation to activate p53. Our findings thus show that BHB-mediated p53 kbhb is a novel mechanism of p53 activity regulation, which may explain the link between ketone bodies and tumor, and which may provide promising therapeutic target for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Cancer is a complex disease, driven by aberrant activity in numerous signaling pathways in even individual malignant cells. Epigenetic changes are critical mediators of these functional changes that drive and maintain the malignant phenotype. Changes in DNA methylation, histone acetylation and methylation, noncoding RNAs, posttranslational modifications are all epigenetic drivers in cancer, independent of changes in the DNA sequence. These epigenetic alterations were once thought to be crucial only for the malignant phenotype maintenance. Now, epigenetic alterations are also recognized as critical for disrupting essential pathways that protect the cells from uncontrolled growth, longer survival and establishment in distant sites from the original tissue. In this review, we focus on DNA methylation and chromatin structure in cancer. The precise functional role of these alterations is an area of active research using emerging high-throughput approaches and bioinformatics analysis tools. Therefore, this review also describes these high-throughput measurement technologies, public domain databases for high-throughput epigenetic data in tumors and model systems and bioinformatics algorithms for their analysis. Advances in bioinformatics data that combine these epigenetic data with genomics data are essential to infer the function of specific epigenetic alterations in cancer. These integrative algorithms are also a focus of this review. Future studies using these emerging technologies will elucidate how alterations in the cancer epigenome cooperate with genetic aberrations during tumor initiation and progression. This deeper understanding is essential to future studies with epigenetics biomarkers and precision medicine using emerging epigenetic therapies.

Abstract
Lysine acetyltransferases (KATs, also termed histone acetyltransferases, HATs) catalyze the acetylation of substrate lysine residues by employing the cofactor acetyl-coenzyme A (AcCoA), thereby providing a dynamic control mechanism of protein function. Because of their major involvement in cell development and homeostasis, small-molecule modulators of KAT activity are urgently needed to assess their therapeutic potential and for probing their underlying biology. Recent advances in the field suggest that targeting the cofactor binding site represents a promising strategy for identifying potent and selective ligands. Here, we present the synthesis of two functional cofactor-based chemical probes and their usage as mechanistic tools in a broadly applicable assay platform. A fluorescence polarization (FP)-based binding assay was combined with biolayer interferometry competition analysis and a FP competition activity immunoassay to enable easy, reliable, and profound evaluation of ligands that target the KAT cofactor binding site.

Abstract
Pyricularia oryzae is the pathogen for rice blast disease, which is a devastating threat to rice production worldwide. Lysine succinylation, a newly identified post-translational modification, is associated with various cellular processes. Here, liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry combined with a high-efficiency succinyl-lysine antibody was used to identify the succinylated peptides in P. oryzae. In total, 2109 lysine succinylation sites in 714 proteins were identified. Ten conserved succinylation sequence patterns were identified, among which, K*******Ksuc, and K**Ksuc, were two most preferred ones. The frequency of lysine succinylation sites, however, greatly varied among organisms, including plants, animals, and microbes. Interestingly, the numbers of succinylation site in each protein of P. oryzae were significantly greater than that of most previous published organisms. Gene ontology and KEGG analysis showed that these succinylated peptides are associated with a wide range of cellular functions, from metabolic processes to stimuli responses. Further analyses determined that lysine succinylation occurs on several key enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and glycolysis pathway, indicating that succinylation may play important roles in the regulation of basal metabolism in P. oryzae. Furthermore, more than 40 pathogenicity-related proteins were identified as succinylated proteins, suggesting an involvement of succinylation in pathogenicity. Our results provide the first comprehensive view of the P. oryzae succinylome and may aid to find potential pathogenicity-related proteins to control the rice blast disease. Significance Plant pathogens represent a great threat to world food security, and enormous reduction in the global yield of rice was caused by P. oryzae infection. Here, the succinylated proteins in P. oryzae were identified. Furthermore, comparison of succinylation sites among various species, indicating that different degrees of succinylation may be involved in the regulation of basal metabolism. This data facilitates our understanding of the metabolic pathways and proteins that are associated with pathogenicity.

Abstract
Histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) play various roles in chromatin-related cellular processes, and comprehensive analysis of these combinatorial PTMs at the intact protein level by top-down proteomics is the method of choice to reveal their crosstalk and biological functions. Here, we report our top-down characterization of the core histones from mouse fibroblasts cells NIH/3T3, which is a classic model used in many kinds of research. With nanoRPLC-MS/MS analysis and ProteinGoggle database search, 547 protein species were identified with spectrum-level FDR ≤ 1%, where PTMs in 51 protein species were unambiguously localized with PTM scores ≥1. High-resolution MS/MS data also allowed the unambiguous identification of acetylation instead of trimethylation. This study presents a general picture of combinatorial PTMs of mouse core histones, which serves as a basic reference for all future related biological studies.

Abstract
Acylation of lysine residues is a common post-translational modification of cellular proteins. Here, we show that lysine succinylation, a type of acylation, occurs in human lens proteins. All of the major crystallins exhibited Nε-succinyllysine (SuccK) residues. Quantification of SuccK in human lens proteins (from donors between the ages of 20 and 73 years) by LC-MS/MS showed a range between 1.2 and 14.3 pmol/mg lens protein. The total SuccK levels were slightly reduced in aged lenses (age > 60 years) relative to young lenses (age < 30 years). Immunohistochemical analyses revealed that SuccK was present in epithelium and fiber cells. Western blotting and immunoprecipitation experiments revealed that SuccK is particularly prominent in αB-crystallin, and succinylation in vitro revealed that αB-crystallin is more prone to succinylation than αA-crystallin. Mass spectrometric analyses showed succinylation at K72, K90, K92, K166, K175, and potentially K174 in human lens αB-crystallin. We detected succinylation at K72, K82, K90, K92, K103, K121, K150, K166, K175, and potentially K174 by mass spectrometry in mildly succinylated αB-crystallin. Mild succinylation improved the chaperone activity of αB-crystallin along with minor perturbation in tertiary and quaternary structure of the protein. These observations imply that succinylation is beneficial to αB-crystallin by improving its chaperone activity with only mild conformational alterations.

Abstract
Sirtuin 5 (SIRT5) is a member of the NAD+-dependent sirtuin family of protein deacylase that catalyzes removal of post-translational modifications, such as succinylation, malonylation, and glutarylation on lysine residues. In light of the SIRT5's roles in regulating mitochondrion function, we show here that SIRT5 deficiency leads to suppression of mitochondrial NADH oxidation and inhibition of ATP synthase activity. As a result, SIRT5 deficiency decreases mitochondrial ATP production, increases AMP/ATP ratio, and subsequently activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in cultured cells and mouse hearts under energy stress conditions. Moreover, Sirt5 knockout attenuates transverse aortic constriction (TAC)-induced cardiac hypertrophy and cardiac dysfunction in mice, which is associated with decreased ATP level, increased AMP/ATP ratio and enhanced AMPK activation. Our study thus uncovers an important role of SIRT5 in regulating cellular energy metabolism and AMPK activation in response to energy stress.

Abstract
Lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation (Khib) is an evolutionarily conserved and widespread histone mark like lysine acetylation (Kac). Here we report that p300 functions as a lysine 2-hyroxyisobutyryltransferase to regulate glycolysis in response to nutritional cues. We discovered that p300 differentially regulates Khib and Kac on distinct lysine sites, with only 6 of the 149 p300-targeted Khib sites overlapping with the 693 p300-targeted Kac sites. We demonstrate that diverse cellular proteins, particularly glycolytic enzymes, are targeted by p300 for Khib, but not for Kac. Specifically, deletion of p300 significantly reduces Khib levels on several p300-dependent, Khib-specific sites on key glycolytic enzymes including ENO1, decreasing their catalytic activities. Consequently, p300-deficient cells have impaired glycolysis and are hypersensitive to glucose-depletion-induced cell death. Our study reveals an p300-catalyzed, Khib-specific molecular mechanism that regulates cellular glucose metabolism and further indicate that p300 has an intrinsic ability to select short-chain acyl-CoA-dependent protein substrates.

BMC Bioinformatics 2019; 19:384. [PMID: 30717647 PMCID: PMC7394328 DOI: 10.1186/s12859-018-2394-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2018] [Accepted: 09/25/2018] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Glutarylation, the addition of a glutaryl group (five carbons) to a lysine residue of a protein molecule, is an important post-translational modification and plays a regulatory role in a variety of physiological and biological processes. As the number of experimentally identified glutarylated peptides increases, it becomes imperative to investigate substrate motifs to enhance the study of protein glutarylation. We carried out a bioinformatics investigation of glutarylation sites based on amino acid composition using a public database containing information on 430 non-homologous glutarylation sites. Results The TwoSampleLogo analysis indicates that positively charged and polar amino acids surrounding glutarylated sites may be associated with the specificity in substrate site of protein glutarylation. Additionally, the chi-squared test was utilized to explore the intrinsic interdependence between two positions around glutarylation sites. Further, maximal dependence decomposition (MDD), which consists of partitioning a large-scale dataset into subgroups with statistically significant amino acid conservation, was used to capture motif signatures of glutarylation sites. We considered single features, such as amino acid composition (AAC), amino acid pair composition (AAPC), and composition of k-spaced amino acid pairs (CKSAAP), as well as the effectiveness of incorporating MDD-identified substrate motifs into an integrated prediction model. Evaluation by five-fold cross-validation showed that AAC was most effective in discriminating between glutarylation and non-glutarylation sites, according to support vector machine (SVM). Conclusions The SVM model integrating MDD-identified substrate motifs performed well, with a sensitivity of 0.677, a specificity of 0.619, an accuracy of 0.638, and a Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) value of 0.28. Using an independent testing dataset (46 glutarylated and 92 non-glutarylated sites) obtained from the literature, we demonstrated that the integrated SVM model could improve the predictive performance effectively, yielding a balanced sensitivity and specificity of 0.652 and 0.739, respectively. This integrated SVM model has been implemented as a web-based system (MDDGlutar), which is now freely available at http://csb.cse.yzu.edu.tw/MDDGlutar/.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a multi-drug resistant human pathogen largely involved in nosocomial infections. Today, effective antibacterial agents are lacking. Exploring the bacterial physiology at the post-translational modifications (PTM) level may contribute to the renewal of fighting strategies. Indeed, some correlations between PTMs and the bacterial virulence, adaptation, and resistance have been shown. In a previous study performed in P. aeruginosa, we reported that many virulence factors like chitin-binding protein CbpD and elastase LasB were multiphosphorylated. Besides phosphorylation, other PTMs, like those occurring on lysine, seem to play key roles in bacteria. In the present study, we investigated for the first time the lysine succinylome and acetylome of the extracellular compartment of P. aeruginosa by using a two-dimensional immunoaffinity approach. Some virulence factors were identified as multimodified on lysine residues, among them, LasB and CbpD. Lysine can be modified by a wide range of chemical groups. In order to check the presence of other chemical groups on modified lysines identified on LasB and CbpD, we used 1- and 2- dimensional gel electrophoresis approaches to target lysine modified by 7 other modifications: butyrylation, crotonylation, dimethylation, malonylation, methylation, propionylation, and trimethylation. We showed that some lysines of these two virulence factors were modified by these 9 different PTMs. Interestingly, we found that the PTMs recovered on these two virulence factors were different than those previously reported in the intracellular compartment.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction is one of many key factors in the etiology of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Lysine acetylation is known to regulate numerous mitochondrial metabolic pathways, and recent reports demonstrate that alcohol-induced protein acylation negatively impacts these processes. To identify regulatory mechanisms attributed to alcohol-induced protein post-translational modifications, we employed a model of alcohol consumption within the context of wild type (WT), sirtuin 3 knockout (SIRT3 KO), and sirtuin 5 knockout (SIRT5 KO) mice to manipulate hepatic mitochondrial protein acylation. Mitochondrial fractions were examined by label-free quantitative HPLC-MS/MS to reveal competition between lysine acetylation and succinylation. A class of proteins defined as "differential acyl switching proteins" demonstrate select sensitivity to alcohol-induced protein acylation. A number of these proteins reveal saturated lysine-site occupancy, suggesting a significant level of differential stoichiometry in the setting of ethanol consumption. We hypothesize that ethanol downregulates numerous mitochondrial metabolic pathways through differential acyl switching proteins. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD012089.

Abstract
Lysine crotonylation is a new posttranslational modification (PTM) type identified on histones, which is enriched on active gene promoters or potential enhancers in mammalian cell genomes. However, the function of lysine crotonylation in the cancer process is not known. Intriguingly, we found that lysine crotonylation expression is down-regulated in liver, stomach, kidney carcinomas, and up-regulated in thyroid, esophagus, colon, pancreas and lung carcinomas. In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), lysine crotonylation expression is correlated with Tumour, Node, and Metastasis (TNM) stage. Besides, the crotonylation level is increased by knocking down HDACs or adding HDACs inhibitor, TSA, and thus inhibits hepatoma cell motility and proliferation. Taken together, our findings opened up a new field for the investigation and understanding of the biological role of lysine crotonylation.

Abstract
Lysine succinylation is a novel, naturally occurring posttranslational modification (PTM) in living organisms. Global lysine succinylation identification has been performed at the proteomic level in various species; however, the study of lysine succinylation in plant species is relatively limited. Patchouli plant (P. cablin (Blanco) Benth., Lamiaceae) is a globally important industrial plant and medicinal herb. In the present study, lysine succinylome analysis was carried out in patchouli plants to determine the potential regulatory role of lysine succinylation in patchouli growth, development, and physiology. The global succinylation sites and proteins in patchouli plants were screened with an immunoprecipitation affinity enrichment technique and advanced mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Several bioinformatic analyses, such as function classification and enrichment, subcellular location predication, metabolic pathway enrichment and protein-protein interaction networking, were conducted to characterize the functions of the identified sites and proteins. In total, 1097 succinylation sites in 493 proteins were detected in patchouli plants, among which 466 succinylation sites in 241 proteins were repeatedly identified within three independent experiments. The functional characterization of these proteins indicated that the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, photosynthesis processes, and amino acid biosynthesis may be regulated by lysine succinylation. In addition, these succinylated proteins showed a wide subcellular location distribution, although the chloroplast and cytoplasm were the top two preferred cellular components. Our study suggested the important role of lysine succinylation in patchouli plant physiology and biology and could serve as a useful reference for succinylation studies in other medicinal plants.

Abstract
Histone lysine acetylation is an essential chromatin modification for epigenetic regulation of gene expression during plant response to stress. On the other hand, enzymes involved in histone acetylation homeostasis require primary metabolites as substrates or cofactors whose levels are greatly influenced by stress and growth conditions in plants. In addition, histone lysine acylation that requires similar enzymes for deposition and removal as histone acetylation has been recently characterized in plant. Results on understanding the intrinsic relationship between histone acetylation/acylation, metabolism and stress response in plants are accumulating. In this review, we summarize recent advance in the field and propose a model of interplay between metabolism and epigenetic regulation of genes expression in plant adaptation to stress.

Abstract
Spermatozoa genome has unique features that make it a fascinating field of investigation: first, because, with oocyte genome, it can be transmitted generation after generation; second, because of genetic shuffling during meiosis, each spermatozoon is virtually unique in terms of genetic content, with consequences for species evolution; and finally, because its chromatin organization is very different from that of somatic cells or oocytes, as it is not based on nucleosomes but on nucleoprotamines which confer a higher order of packaging. Histone-to-protamine transition involves many actors, such as regulators of spermatid gene expression, components of the nuclear envelop, histone-modifying enzymes and readers, chaperones, histone variants, transition proteins, protamines, and certainly many more to be discovered.In this book chapter, we will present what is currently known about sperm chromatin structure and how it is established during spermiogenesis, with the aim to list the genetic factors that regulate its organization.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is a malignancy of the lining of the stomach and is prone to distant metastasis, which involves a variety of complex molecules. The S100 proteins are a family of calcium-binding cytosolic proteins that possess a wide range of intracellular and extracellular functions and play pivotal roles in the invasion and migration of tumour cells. Among these, S100A10 is known to be overexpressed in GC. Lysine succinylation, a recently identified form of protein post-translational modification, is an important regulator of cellular processes. Here, we demonstrated that S100A10 was succinylated at lysine residue 47 (K47), and levels of succinylated S100A10 were increased in human GC. Moreover, K47 succinylation of S100A10 was stabilized by suppression of ubiquitylation and subsequent proteasomal degradation. Furthermore, carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (CPT1A) was found to function as a lysine succinyltransferase that interacts with S100A10. Succinylation of S100A10 is regulated by CPT1A, while desuccinylation is regulated by SIRT5. Overexpression of a succinylation mimetic mutant, K47E S100A10, increased cell invasion and migration. Taken together, this study reveals a novel mechanism of S100A10 accumulation mediated by succinylation in GC, which promotes GC progression and is regulated by the succinyltransferase CPT1A and SIRT5-mediated desuccinylation.

Abstract
Histone post-translational modifications are crucial epigenetic mechanisms regulating a variety of biological events. Besides histone lysine acetylation, a repertoire of acylation types have been identified, including formylation, propionylation, butyrylation, crotonylation, 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation, β-hydroxybutyrylation, succinylation, malonylation, glutarylation and benzoylation. From a structural perspective, here we summarize the writers and erasers of histone acylations and explain the molecular basis of these enzymes catalyzing non-acetyl histone acylations with a focus on histone crotonylation and β-hydroxybutyrylation. Histone acylation readout, non-histone acylations and metabolic regulation are also discussed in this review.

Abstract
Proteomic analysis of histones has shown that they are subject to a superabundance of acylations, which extend far beyond acetylation, to include: crotonylation, propionylation, butyrylation, malonylation, succinylation, β-hydroxybutyrylation and 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation. To date, much of the functional data has focussed on histone crotonylation which, similar to acetylation, has been associated with positive gene regulation and is added by the acyltransferase, p300. Although Sirtuins 1–3, along with HDAC3, have been shown to possess decrotonylase activity in vitro, there is relatively little known about the regulation of histone crotonylation in vivo. Here we show that Histone Deacetylase 1 and 2 (HDAC1/2), the catalytic core of numerous co-repressor complexes, are important histone decrotonylase enzymes. A ternary complex of HDAC1/CoREST1/LSD1 is able to hydrolyse both histone H3 Lys18-acetyl (H3K18ac) and H3 Lys18-crotonyl (H3K18cr) peptide substrates. Genetic deletion of HDAC1/2 in ES cells increases global levels of histone crotonylation and causes an 85% reduction in total decrotonylase activity. Furthermore, we mapped H3K18cr in cells using ChIP-seq, with and without HDAC1/2, and observed increased levels of crotonylation, which largely overlaps with H3K18ac in the vicinity of transcriptional start sites. Collectively, our data indicate that HDAC1/2 containing complexes are critical regulators of histone crotonylation in vivo.

Abstract
Chromatin is an intelligent building block that can express either external or internal needs through structural changes. To date, three methods to change chromatin structure and regulate gene expression have been well-documented: histone modification, histone exchange, and ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling. Recently, a growing body of literature has suggested that histone tail cleavage is related to various cellular processes including stem cell differentiation, osteoclast differentiation, granulocyte differentiation, mammary gland differentiation, viral infection, aging, and yeast sporulation. Although the underlying mechanisms suggesting how histone cleavage affects gene expression in view of chromatin structure are only beginning to be understood, it is clear that this process is a novel transcriptional epigenetic mechanism involving chromatin dynamics. In this review, we describe the functional properties of the known histone tail cleavage with its proteolytic enzymes, discuss how histone cleavage impacts gene expression, and present future directions for this area of study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Histone lysine acylations by short-chain fatty acids are distinct from the widely studied histone lysine acetylation in chromatin, although both modifications are regulated by primary metabolism in mammalian cells. It remains unknown whether and how histone acylation and acetylation interact to regulate gene expression in plants that have distinct regulatory pathways of primary metabolism. RESULTS We identify 4 lysine butyrylation (Kbu) sites (H3K14, H4K12, H2BK42, and H2BK134) and 45 crotonylation (Kcr) sites on rice histones by mass spectrometry. Comparative analysis of genome-wide Kbu and Kcr and H3K9ac in combination with RNA sequencing reveals 25,306 genes marked by Kbu and Kcr in rice and more than 95% of H3K9ac-marked genes are marked by both. Kbu and Kcr are enriched at the 5' region of expressed genes. In rice under starvation and submergence, Kbu and Kcr appear to be less dynamic and display changes in different sets of genes compared to H3K9ac. Furthermore, Kbu seems to preferentially poise gene activation by external stresses, rather than internal circadian rhythm which has been shown to be tightly associated with H3K9ac. In addition, we show that rice sirtuin histone deacetylase (SRT2) is involved in the removal of Kcr. CONCLUSION Kbu, Kcr, and H3K9ac redundantly mark a large number of active genes but display different responses to external and internal signals. Thus, the proportion of rice histone lysine acetylation and acylation is dynamically regulated by environmental and metabolic cues, which may represent an epigenetic mechanism to fine-tune gene expression for plant adaptation.

Abstract
The analysis of the post-translational modification (PTM) state of proteins using mass spectrometry-based bottom-up proteomic workflows has evolved into a powerful tool for the study of cellular regulatory events that are not directly encoded at the genome level. Besides frequently detected modifications such as phosphorylation, acetylation and ubiquitination, many low abundant or less frequently detected PTMs are known or postulated to serve important regulatory functions. To more broadly understand the LC-MS/MS characteristics of PTMs, we synthesized and analyzed ∼5,000 peptides representing 21 different naturally occurring modifications of lysine, arginine, proline and tyrosine side chains and their unmodified counterparts. The analysis identified changes in retention times, shifts of precursor charge states and differences in search engine scores between modifications. PTM-dependent changes in the fragmentation behavior were evaluated using eleven different fragmentation modes or collision energies. We also systematically investigated the formation of diagnostic ions or neutral losses for all PTMs, confirming 10 known and identifying 5 novel diagnostic ions for lysine modifications. To demonstrate the value of including diagnostic ions in database searching, we reprocessed a public data set of lysine crotonylation and showed that considering the diagnostic ions increases confidence in the identification of the modified peptides. To our knowledge, this constitutes the first broad and systematic analysis of the LC-MS/MS properties of common and rare PTMs using synthetic peptides, leading to direct applicable utility for bottom-up proteomic experiments.

Abstract
Lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation is a newly discovered protein acylation and was reported to share acyltransferases and deacylases with the widely studied lysine acetylation. The well-known acetyltransferase Tip60 and histone deacetylases HDAC 2 and HDAC 3 were discovered to be "writer" and "eraser" of this new PTM on histones. However, the acyltransferases and deacylases for nonhistone proteins are still unclear. In this work, lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylome on both histones and nonhistone proteins upon SAHA treatment were intensively studied and 8765 lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation sites on 2484 proteins were identified in A549 cells. This is the largest data set of lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylome in mammalian cells to date. It was found that lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation participates in varieties of biological functions and processes including ribosome, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, and transcription. More importantly, it was found that most quantified sites on core histones were up-regulated upon SAHA treatment for all 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation, crotonylation, and acetylation and the fold changes upon SAHA of 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation and crotonylation on nonhistone proteins were highly correlated, while their fold changes have little correlations with acetylation on nonhistone proteins.

Abstract
Thousands of protein acyl modification sites have now been identified in vivo. However, at most sites the acylation stoichiometry is low, making functional enzyme-driven regulation in the majority of cases unlikely. As unmediated acylation can occur on the surface of proteins when acyl-CoA thioesters react with nucleophilic cysteine and lysine residues, slower nonenzymatic processes likely underlie most protein acylation. Here, we review how nonenzymatic acylation of nucleophilic lysine and cysteine residues occurs; the factors that enhance acylation at particular sites; and the strategies that have evolved to limit protein acylation. We conclude that protein acylation is an unavoidable consequence of the central role of reactive thioesters in metabolism. Finally, we propose a hypothesis for why low-stoichiometry protein acylation is selected against by evolution and how it might contribute to degenerative processes such as aging.

Abstract
A computationally designed, allosterically regulated catalyst (CaM M144H) produced by substituting a single residue in calmodulin, a non-enzymatic protein, is capable of efficient and site selective post-translational acylation of lysines in peptides with highly diverse sequences. Calmodulin's binding partners are involved in regulating a large number of cellular processes; this new chemical-biology tool will help to identify them and provide structural insight into their interactions with calmodulin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To maintain homeostasis, cells need to coordinate the expression of their genes. Epigenetic mechanisms controlling transcription activation and repression include DNA methylation and post-translational modifications of histones, which can affect the architecture of chromatin and/or create 'docking platforms' for multiple binding proteins. These modifications can be dynamically set and removed by various enzymes that depend on the availability of key metabolites derived from different intracellular pathways. Therefore, small metabolites generated in anabolic and catabolic processes can integrate multiple external and internal stimuli and transfer information on the energetic state of a cell to the transcriptional machinery by regulating the activity of chromatin-modifying enzymes. SCOPE OF REVIEW This review provides an overview of the current literature and concepts on the connections and crosstalk between key cellular metabolites, enzymes responsible for their synthesis, recycling, and conversion and chromatin marks controlling gene expression. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS Whereas current evidence indicates that many chromatin-modifying enzymes respond to alterations in the levels of their cofactors, cosubstrates, and inhibitors, the detailed molecular mechanisms and functional consequences of such processes are largely unresolved. A deeper investigation of mechanisms responsible for altering the total cellular concentration of particular metabolites, as well as their nuclear abundance and accessibility for chromatin-modifying enzymes, will be necessary to better understand the crosstalk between metabolism, chromatin marks, and gene expression.

Abstract
Lysine crotonylation (Kcr) is a recently identified post-translational modification (PTM) that is regulated by an acetyltransferase, p300. The p300-catalyzed histone Kcr is able to stimulate transcription to a greater degree than the well-studied histone lysine acetylation (Kac). Despite these progresses, the global Kcr substrates regulated by p300 remain largely unknown, hindering efforts to establish mechanistic links between Kcr and p300-mediated phenotypes. Here, a quantitative proteomics study to characterize the p300-regulated lysine crotonylome is reported. A total of 816 unique endogenous crotonylation sites are identified across 392 proteins, with 88 sites from 69 proteins being decreased by more than 0.7-fold (log2 < 0.5) and 31 sites from 17 proteins being increased by more than 1.4-fold (log2 > 0.5) in response to p300 knockout (KO). The most downregulated crotonylome alterations under p300 deficiency concern components of the nonsense-mediated decay, infectious disease, and viral/eukaryotic translation pathways. Moreover, some p300-targeted Kcr substrates are potentially linked to diseases such as cancer. Taken together, this study reveals the lysine crotonylome in response to p300, which sheds light on the role for lysine crotonylation in regulation of diverse cellular processes and provides new insights into mechanisms of p300 functions.

Abstract
Lysine crotonylation (Kcr) is a newly discovered posttranslational modification (PTM) existing in mammals. A global crotonylome analysis was undertaken in rice (Oryza sativa L. japonica) using high accuracy nano-LC-MS/MS in combination with crotonylated peptide enrichment. A total of 1,265 lysine crotonylation sites were identified on 690 proteins in rice seedlings. Subcellular localization analysis revealed that 51% of the crotonylated proteins identified were localized in chloroplasts. The photosynthesis-associated proteins were also mostly enriched in total crotonylated proteins. In addition, a genomic localization analysis of histone Kcr by ChIP-seq was performed to assess the relevance between histone Kcr and the genome. Of the 10,923 identified peak regions, the majority (86.7%) of the enriched peaks were located in gene body, especially exons. Furthermore, the degree of histone Kcr modification was positively correlated with gene expression in genic regions. Compared with other published histone modification data, the Kcr was co-located with the active histone modifications. Interestingly, histone Kcr-facilitated expression of genes with existing active histone modifications. In addition, 77% of histone Kcr modifications overlapped with DNase hypersensitive sites (DHSs) in intergenic regions of the rice genome and might mark other cis-regulatory DNA elements that are different from IPA1, a transcription activator in rice seedlings. Overall, our results provide a comprehensive understanding of the biological functions of the crotonylome and new active histone modification in transcriptional regulation in plants.

Abstract
Nowadays advanced mass spectrometry techniques make the identification of protein posttranslational modifications (PTMs) much easier than ever before. A series of proteomic studies have demonstrated that large numbers of proteins in cells are modified by phosphorylation, acetylation and many other types of PTMs. However, only limited studies have been performed to validate or characterize those identified modification targets, mostly because PTMs are very dynamic, undergoing large changes in different growth stages or conditions. To overcome this issue, the genetic code expansion strategy has been introduced into PTM studies to genetically incorporate modified amino acids directly into desired positions of target proteins. Without using modifying enzymes, the genetic code expansion strategy could generate homogeneously modified proteins, thus providing powerful tools for PTM studies. In this review, we summarized recent development of genetic code expansion in PTM studies for research groups in this field.

Proteomic Analysis of Histone Variants and Their PTMs: Strategies and Pitfalls. Proteomes 2018; 6:proteomes6030029.

Abstract
Epigenetic modifications contribute to the determination of cell fate and differentiation. The molecular mechanisms underlying histone variants and post-translational modifications (PTMs) have been studied in the contexts of development, differentiation, and disease. Antibody-based assays have classically been used to target PTMs, but these approaches fail to reveal combinatorial patterns of modifications. In addition, some histone variants are so similar to canonical histones that antibodies have difficulty distinguishing between these isoforms. Mass spectrometry (MS) has progressively developed as a powerful technology for the study of histone variants and their PTMs. Indeed, MS analyses highlighted exquisitely complex combinations of PTMs, suggesting “crosstalk” between them, and also revealed that PTM patterns are often variant-specific. Even though the sensitivity and acquisition speed of MS instruments have considerably increased alongside the development of computational tools for the study of multiple PTMs, it remains challenging to correctly describe the landscape of histone PTMs, and in particular to confidently assign modifications to specific amino acids. Here, we provide an inventory of MS-based strategies and of the pitfalls inherent to histone PTM and variant characterization, while stressing the complex interplay between PTMs and histone sequence variations. We will particularly illustrate the roles played by MS-based analyses in identifying and quantifying histone variants and modifications.

Abstract
Sirtuins, a group of NAD+-dependent deacylases, have emerged as the key connection between NAD+ metabolism and aging. This class of enzymes hydrolyzes a range of ε- N-acyllysine PTMs, and determining the repertoire of catalyzed deacylation reactions is of high importance to fully elucidate the roles of a given sirtuin. Here we have identified and produced two potential sirtuins from the probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM. Screening more than 80 different substrates, covering 26 acyl groups on five peptide scaffolds, demonstrated that one of the investigated proteins, Sir2La, is a bona fide NAD+-dependent sirtuin, catalyzing hydrolysis of acetyl-, propionyl-, and butyryllysine. Further substantiating the identity of Sir2La as a sirtuin, known sirtuin inhibitors, nicotinamide and suramin, as well as a thioacetyllysine compound inhibit the deacylase activity in a concentration-dependent manner. On the basis of steady-state kinetics, Sir2La showed a slight preference for propionyllysine (Kpro) over acetyllysine (Kac). For nonfluorogenic peptide substrates, the preference is driven by a remarkably low KM (280 nM vs 700 nM, for Kpro and Kac, respectively), whereas kcat was similar (21 × 10-3 s-1). Moreover, while NAD+ is a prerequisite for Sir2La-mediated deacylation, Sir2La has a very high KM for NAD+ compared to the expected levels of the dinucleotide in L. acidophilus. Sir2La is the first sirtuin from Lactobacillales and of the Gram-positive bacterial subclass of sirtuins to be functionally characterized. The ability to hydrolyze propionyl- and butyryllysine emphasizes the relevance of further exploring the role of other short-chain acyl moieties as PTMs.

Protein CoAlation and antioxidant function of coenzyme A in prokaryotic cells. Biochem J 2018; 475:1909-1937.

Abstract
In all living organisms, coenzyme A (CoA) is an essential cofactor with a unique design allowing it to function as an acyl group carrier and a carbonyl-activating group in diverse biochemical reactions. It is synthesized in a highly conserved process in prokaryotes and eukaryotes that requires pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), cysteine and ATP. CoA and its thioester derivatives are involved in major metabolic pathways, allosteric interactions and the regulation of gene expression. A novel unconventional function of CoA in redox regulation has been recently discovered in mammalian cells and termed protein CoAlation. Here, we report for the first time that protein CoAlation occurs at a background level in exponentially growing bacteria and is strongly induced in response to oxidizing agents and metabolic stress. Over 12% of Staphylococcus aureus gene products were shown to be CoAlated in response to diamide-induced stress. In vitro CoAlation of S. aureus glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was found to inhibit its enzymatic activity and to protect the catalytic cysteine 151 from overoxidation by hydrogen peroxide. These findings suggest that in exponentially growing bacteria, CoA functions to generate metabolically active thioesters, while it also has the potential to act as a low-molecular-weight antioxidant in response to oxidative and metabolic stress.
