is an opportunistic pathogen and has become a globally clinical concern due to multidrug resistance. In this study, we generated a series of strains (CF2, -3, -4, -5, and -6) with elevated MIC of fluconazole from CF1 by gradually increasing fluconazole concentration. Employing 4D label-free proteomics, we explored the contributions of acetylome alterations to the evolution of fluconazole resistance in . From 18 samples of six strains, we identified 2419 acetylated proteins with 7833 sites, quantified 3032 proteins, and 6310 sites. Compared to CF1, differentially acetylated proteins were significantly linked to cytosolic ribosomes, structural molecule activity, hexose and monosaccharide catabolism, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, and alcohol dehydrogenase GroES-like domain. CF3 (16-32 μg/mL) and CF4 (64 μg/mL) were suggested as the key resistance inflection. CF3 was associated with a significant decrease in ribosomal protein acetylation, while CF4 witnesses a marked upsurge in acetylated proteins and sites. Upregulated proteins in CF3 were notably involved in oxidative stress, detoxification, osmotic stress, and alcohol. We drew a diagram to show acetylated sites on histones in . To the best of our knowledge, this is the first acetylome study in , providing insights into the biological and pathogenic roles of post-translational modifications (PTMs) in this organism.
是一种机会致病菌,由于多重耐药性已成为全球临床关注的问题。在本研究中,我们通过逐渐增加氟康唑浓度,从CF1中产生了一系列氟康唑最低抑菌浓度(MIC)升高的菌株(CF2、-3、-4、-5和-6)。采用4D无标记蛋白质组学,我们探讨了乙酰化修饰改变对该菌氟康唑耐药性演变的作用。从六个该菌菌株的18个样本中,我们鉴定出2419个具有7833个位点的乙酰化蛋白,定量了3032个蛋白质和6310个位点。与CF1相比,差异乙酰化蛋白与胞质核糖体、结构分子活性、己糖和单糖分解代谢、糖酵解/糖异生以及醇脱氢酶GroES样结构域显著相关。CF3(16 - 32μg/mL)和CF4(64μg/mL)被认为是关键的耐药拐点。CF3与核糖体蛋白乙酰化的显著降低相关,而CF4则见证了乙酰化蛋白和位点的显著增加。CF3中上调的蛋白显著参与氧化应激、解毒、渗透应激和酒精代谢。我们绘制了一张图来展示该菌组蛋白上的乙酰化位点。据我们所知,这是该菌的首次乙酰化修饰组研究,为这种生物体中翻译后修饰(PTMs)的生物学和致病作用提供了见解。
