Lysine crotonylation (Kcr) is an evolutionally conserved post-translational modification (PTM) on histone proteins. However, information about Kcr and its involvement in the biology and metabolism of Toxoplasma gondii is limited. In the present study, a global Kcr proteome analysis using LC-MS/MS in combination with immune-affinity method was performed. A total of 12,152 Kcr sites distributed over 2719 crotonylated proteins were identified. Consistent with lysine acetylation and succinylation in Apicomplexa, Kcr was associated with various metabolic pathways, including carbon metabolism, pyrimidine metabolism, glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and proteasome. Markedly, many stage-specific proteins, histones, and histone-modifying enzymes related to the stage transition were found to have Kcr sites, suggesting a potential involvement of Kcr in the parasite stage transformation. Most components of the apical secretory organelles were identified as crotonylated proteins which were associated with the attachment, invasion, and replication of T. gondii. These results expanded our understanding of Kcr proteome and proposed new hypotheses for further research of the Kcr roles in the pathobiology of T. gondii infection.
赖氨酸巴豆酰化(Kcr)是组蛋白上一种进化保守的翻译后修饰(PTM)。然而,关于 Kcr 及其在弓形虫生物学和代谢中的作用的信息有限。在本研究中,通过 LC-MS/MS 结合免疫亲和法进行了全局 Kcr 蛋白质组分析。共鉴定到分布在 2719 个巴豆酰化蛋白中的 12152 个 Kcr 位点。与顶复门中的赖氨酸乙酰化和琥珀酰化一致,Kcr 与各种代谢途径有关,包括碳代谢、嘧啶代谢、糖酵解、糖异生和蛋白酶体。值得注意的是,许多与阶段转换相关的阶段特异性蛋白、组蛋白和组蛋白修饰酶都具有 Kcr 位点,表明 Kcr 可能参与寄生虫阶段的转化。顶分泌细胞器的大多数成分被鉴定为巴豆酰化蛋白,这些蛋白与弓形虫的附着、入侵和复制有关。这些结果扩展了我们对 Kcr 蛋白质组的理解,并提出了进一步研究 Kcr 在弓形虫感染病理生物学中作用的新假设。
