Recent studies have shown that a key strategy of many pathogens is to use post-translational modification (PTMs) to modulate host factors critical for infection. Lysine succinylation (Ksuc) is a major PTM widespread in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and is associated with the regulation of numerous important cellular processes. is a common pathogen that causes serious disease problems in aquaculture. Here we used the affinity enrichment method with LC-MS/MS to report the first identification of 2082 lysine succinylation sites on 671 proteins in , and compared this with the lysine acetylation of in our previous work. The Ksuc modification of SodB and PEPCK proteins were further validated by Co-immunoprecipitation combined with Western blotting. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the identified lysine succinylated proteins are involved in various biological processes and central metabolism pathways. Moreover, a total of 1,005 (25.4%) succinyl sites on 502 (37.3%) proteins were also found to be acetylated, which indicated that an extensive crosstalk between acetylation and succinylation in occurs, especially in three central metabolic pathways: glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, TCA cycle, and pyruvate metabolism. Furthermore, we found at least 50 (7.45%) succinylated virulence factors, including LuxS, Tdh, SodB, PEPCK, ClpP, and the Sec system to play an important role in bacterial virulence. Taken together, this systematic analysis provides a basis for further study on the pathophysiological role of lysine succinylation in and provides targets for the development of attenuated vaccines.
最近的研究表明,许多病原体的一个关键策略是利用翻译后修饰(PTMs)来调节感染过程中关键的宿主因子。赖氨酸琥珀酰化(Ksuc)是一种广泛存在于原核和真核细胞中的主要 PTM,与许多重要的细胞过程的调节有关。是一种常见的病原体,在水产养殖中会引起严重的疾病问题。在这里,我们使用 LC-MS/MS 的亲和富集方法,报告了在 中首次鉴定出 671 种蛋白质上的 2082 个赖氨酸琥珀酰化位点,并将其与我们之前工作中 中的赖氨酸乙酰化进行了比较。SodB 和 PEPCK 蛋白的 Ksuc 修饰通过共免疫沉淀结合 Western blot 进一步验证。生物信息学分析表明,鉴定出的赖氨酸琥珀酰化蛋白参与了各种生物过程和中心代谢途径。此外,在 502 种(37.3%)蛋白质上的 1005 个(25.4%)琥珀酰化位点也被发现乙酰化,这表明 中乙酰化和琥珀酰化之间存在广泛的相互作用,特别是在三个中心代谢途径中:糖酵解/糖异生、三羧酸循环和丙酮酸代谢。此外,我们发现至少 50 个(7.45%)琥珀酰化毒力因子,包括 LuxS、Tdh、SodB、PEPCK、ClpP 和 Sec 系统,在细菌毒力中发挥重要作用。总之,这项系统分析为进一步研究赖氨酸琥珀酰化在 中的病理生理作用提供了基础,并为减毒疫苗的开发提供了目标。
