Abstract
Protein lysine crotonylation (Kcr) is one conserved form of posttranslational modifications of proteins, which plays an important role in a series of cellular physiological and pathological processes. Lysine ε-amino groups are the primary sites of such modification, resulting in four-carbon planar lysine crotonylation that is structurally and functionally distinct from the acetylation of these residues. High levels of Kcr modifications have been identified on both histone and non-histone proteins. The present review offers an update on the research progression regarding protein Kcr modifications in biomedical contexts and provides a discussion of the mechanisms whereby Kcr modification governs a range of biological processes. In addition, given the importance of protein Kcr modification in disease onset and progression, the potential viability of Kcr regulators as therapeutic targets is elucidated.

Abstract
Histone lysine crotonylation, an evolutionarily conserved modification differing from acetylation, exerts pivotal control over diverse biological processes. Among these are gene transcriptional regulation, spermatogenesis, and cell cycle processes. However, the dynamic changes and functions of histone crotonylation in preimplantation embryonic development in mammals remain unclear. Here, we show that the transcription coactivator P300 functions as a writer of histone crotonylation during embryonic development. Depletion of P300 results in significant developmental defects and dysregulation of the transcriptome of embryos. Importantly, we demonstrate that P300 catalyzes the crotonylation of histone, directly stimulating transcription and regulating gene expression, thereby ensuring successful progression of embryo development up to the blastocyst stage. Moreover, the modification of histone H3 lysine 18 crotonylation (H3K18cr) is primarily localized to active promoter regions. This modification serves as a distinctive epigenetic indicator of crucial transcriptional regulators, facilitating the activation of gene transcription. Together, our results propose a model wherein P300-mediated histone crotonylation plays a crucial role in regulating the fate of embryonic development.

Global proteomic analyses of lysine acetylation, malonylation, succinylation, and crotonylation in human sperm reveal their involvement in male fertility. J Proteomics 2024; 303:105213. [PMID: 38797435 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2024.105213] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2024] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
Protein lysine modifications (PLMs) are hotspots of post-translational modifications and are involved in many diseases; however, their role in human sperm remains obscure. This study examined the presence and functional roles of a classical PLM (lysine acetylation, Kac) and three novel PLMs (lysine malonylation, Kmal; lysine succinylation, Ksucc; lysine crotonylation, Kcr) in human sperm. Immunoblotting and immunofluorescence assays revealed modified proteins (15-150 kDa) in the tails of human sperm. An immunoaffinity approach coupled with liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry revealed 1423 Kac sites in 680 proteins, 196 Kmal sites in 118 proteins, 788 Ksucc sites in 251 proteins, and 1836 Kcr sites in 645 proteins. These modified proteins participate in a variety of biological processes and metabolic pathways. Crosstalk analysis demonstrated that proteins involved in the sperm energy pathways of glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation, the citrate cycle, fatty acid oxidation, and ketone body metabolism were modified by at least one of these modifications. In addition, these modifications were found in 62 male fertility-related proteins that weave a protein-protein interaction network associated with asthenoteratozoospermia, asthenozoospermia, globozoospermia, spermatogenic failure, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, and polycystic kidney disease. Our findings shed light on the functional role of PLMs in male reproduction. SIGNIFICANCE: Protein lysine modifications (PLMs) are hotspots of posttranslational modifications and are involved in many diseases. This study revealed the presence of a classical PLM (lysine acetylation) and three novel PLMs (lysine malonylation, lysine succinylation, and lysine crotonylation) in human sperm tails. The modified proteins participate in a variety of biological processes and metabolic pathways. In addition, these modifications were found in 62 male infertility-associated proteins and could serve as potential diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for male infertility.

Abstract
Crotonylation is an importantly conserved post-translational modification, which is completely different from acetylation. In recent years, it has been confirmed that crotonylation occurs on histone and non-histone. Crotonylated Histone primarily affects gene expression through transcriptional regulation, while non-histone Crotonylation mainly regulates protein functions including protein activity, localization, and stability, as well as protein-protein interactions. The change in protein expression and function will affect the physiological process of cells and even cause disease. Reviewing previous studies, this article summarizes the mechanisms of histone and non-histone crotonylation in regulating diseases and cellular physiological processes to explore the possibility of precise regulation of crotonylation sites as potential targets for disease treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lysine crotonylation (Kcr) is a crucial protein post-translational modification found in histone and non-histone proteins. It plays a pivotal role in regulating diverse biological processes in both animals and plants, including gene transcription and replication, cell metabolism and differentiation, as well as photosynthesis. Despite the significance of Kcr, detection of Kcr sites through biological experiments is often time-consuming, expensive, and only a fraction of crotonylated peptides can be identified. This reality highlights the need for efficient and rapid prediction of Kcr sites through computational methods. Currently, several machine learning models exist for predicting Kcr sites in humans, yet models tailored for plants are rare. Furthermore, no downloadable Kcr site predictors or datasets have been developed specifically for plants. To address this gap, it is imperative to integrate existing Kcr sites detected in plant experiments and establish a dedicated computational model for plants. RESULTS Most plant Kcr sites are located on non-histones. In this study, we collected non-histone Kcr sites from five plants, including wheat, tabacum, rice, peanut, and papaya. We then conducted a comprehensive analysis of the amino acid distribution surrounding these sites. To develop a predictive model for plant non-histone Kcr sites, we combined a convolutional neural network (CNN), a bidirectional long short-term memory network (BiLSTM), and attention mechanism to build a deep learning model called PlantNh-Kcr. On both five-fold cross-validation and independent tests, PlantNh-Kcr outperformed multiple conventional machine learning models and other deep learning models. Furthermore, we conducted an analysis of species-specific effect on the PlantNh-Kcr model and found that a general model trained using data from multiple species outperforms species-specific models. CONCLUSION PlantNh-Kcr represents a valuable tool for predicting plant non-histone Kcr sites. We expect that this model will aid in addressing key challenges and tasks in the study of plant crotonylation sites.

Global crotonylome identifies EP300-regulated ANXA2 crotonylation in cumulus cells as a regulator of oocyte maturation. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 259:129149.

Abstract
Lysine crotonylation (Kcr), a newly discovered post-translational modification, played a crucial role in physiology and disease progression. However, the roles of crotonylation in oocyte meiotic resumption remain elusive. As abnormal cumulus cell development will cause oocyte maturation arrest and female infertility, we report that cumulus cells surrounding human meiotic arrested oocytes showed significantly lower crotonylation, which was associated with decreased EP300 expression and blocked cumulus cell expansion. In cultured human cumulus cells, exogenous crotonylation or EP300 activator promoted cell proliferation and reduced cell apoptosis, whereas EP300 knockdown induced the opposite effect. Transcriptome profiling analysis in human cumulus cells indicated that functions of crotonylation were associated with activation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway. Importantly, we characterized the Kcr proteomics landscape in cumulus cells by LC-MS/MS analysis, and identified that annexin A2 (ANXA2) was crotonylated in cumulus cells in an EP300-dependent manner. Crotonylation of ANXA2 enhanced the ANXA2-EGFR binding, and then activated the EGFR pathway to affect cumulus cell proliferation and apoptosis. Using mouse oocytes IVM model and EP300 knockout mice, we further confirmed that crotonylation alteration in cumulus cells affected the oocyte maturation. Together, our results indicated that EP300-mediated crotonylation is important for cumulus cells functions and oocyte maturation.

[PMID: 37764165 PMCID: PMC10534853 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11092322] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Revised: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The Brucella type IV secretion system (T4SS) can promote the intracellular survival and reproduction of Brucella. T4SS secretes effector proteins to act on cellular signaling pathways to inhibit the host's innate immune response and cause a chronic, persistent Brucella infection. Brucella can survive in host cells for a long time by inhibiting macrophage apoptosis and avoiding immune recognition. The effector protein, BspF, secreted by T4SS, can regulate host secretory transport and accelerate the intracellular replication of Brucella. BspF has an acetyltransferase domain of the GNAT (GCN5-related N-acetyltransferases) family, and in our previous crotonylation proteomics data, we have found that BspF has crotonyl transferase activity and crotonylation regulation of host cell protein in the proteomics data. Here, we found that BspF attenuates the crotonylation modification of the interacting protein p53, which reduces the p53 expression through the GNAT domain. BspF can inhibit the transcription and protein expression of downstream apoptotic genes, thereby inhibiting host cell apoptosis. Additionally, the Brucella ΔbspF mutant stain promotes apoptosis and reduces the survival rate of Brucella in the cells. In conclusion, we identified that the T4SS effector protein BspF can regulate host cell apoptosis to assist Brucella in its long-term survival by attenuating crotonylation modification of p53 and decreasing p53 expression. Our findings reveal a unique mechanism of elucidating how Brucella regulates host cell apoptosis and promotes its proliferation through the secretion of effector proteins.

Abstract
Histone lysine crotonylation was first identified as a new type of post-translational modification in 2011. In recent years, prominent progress has been made in the study of histone and nonhistone crotonylation in reproduction, development, and disease. Although the regulatory enzyme systems and targets of crotonylation partially overlap with those of acetylation, the peculiar CC bond structure of crotonylation suggests that crotonylation may have specific biological functions. In this review, we summarize the latest research progress regarding crotonylation, especially its regulatory factors and relationship with diseases, which suggest further research directions for crotonylation and provide new ideas for developing disease intervention and treatment regimens.

Abstract
Lactate was once considered to be a by-product of energy metabolism, but its unique biological value was only gradually explored with the advent of the Warburg effect. As an end product of glycolysis, lactate can act as a substrate for energy metabolism, a signal transduction molecule, a regulator of the tumor microenvironment and immune cells, and a regulator of the deubiquitination of specific enzymes, and is involved in various biological aspects of tumor regulation, including energy shuttling, growth and invasion, angiogenesis and immune escape. Furthermore, we describe a novel lactate-dependent epigenetic modification, namely histone lactylation modification, and review the progress of its study in tumors, mainly involving the reprogramming of tumor phenotypes, regulation of related gene expression, mediation of the glycolytic process in tumor stem cells (CSCs) and influence on the tumor immune microenvironment. The study of epigenetic regulation of tumor genes by histone modification is still in its infancy, and we expect that by summarizing the effects of lactate and histone modification on tumor and related gene regulation, we will clarify the scientific significance of future histone modification studies and the problems to be solved, and open up new fields for targeted tumor therapy.

Abstract
Histones are DNA-binding basic proteins found in chromosomes. After the histone translation, its amino tail undergoes various modifications, such as methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination, malonylation, propionylation, butyrylation, crotonylation, and lactylation, which together constitute the "histone code." The relationship between their combination and biological function can be used as an important epigenetic marker. Methylation and demethylation of the same histone residue, acetylation and deacetylation, phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, and even methylation and acetylation between different histone residues cooperate or antagonize with each other, forming a complex network. Histone-modifying enzymes, which cause numerous histone codes, have become a hot topic in the research on cancer therapeutic targets. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the role of histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) in cell life activities is very important for preventing and treating human diseases. In this review, several most thoroughly studied and newly discovered histone PTMs are introduced. Furthermore, we focus on the histone-modifying enzymes with carcinogenic potential, their abnormal modification sites in various tumors, and multiple essential molecular regulation mechanism. Finally, we summarize the missing areas of the current research and point out the direction of future research. We hope to provide a comprehensive understanding and promote further research in this field.

Abstract
In eukaryotes, DNA is packaged with histone proteins in a complex known as chromatin. Both the DNA and histone components of chromatin can be chemically modified in a wide variety of ways, resulting in a complex landscape often referred to as the "epigenetic code". These modifications are recognized by effector proteins that remodel chromatin and modulate transcription, translation, and repair of the underlying DNA. In this Review, we examine the development of methods for characterizing proteins that interact with these histone and DNA modifications. "Mark first" approaches utilize chemical, peptide, nucleosome, or oligonucleotide probes to discover interactors of a specific modification. "Reader first" approaches employ arrays of peptides, nucleosomes, or oligonucleotides to profile the binding preferences of interactors. These complementary strategies have greatly enhanced our understanding of how chromatin modifications effect changes in genomic regulation, bringing us ever closer to deciphering this complex language.

Abstract
AbstractMetabolites are intermediate products of cellular metabolism catalysed by various enzymes. Metabolic remodelling, as a biochemical fingerprint of cancer cells, causes abnormal metabolite accumulation. These metabolites mainly generate energy or serve as signal transduction mediators via noncovalent interactions. After the development of highly sensitive mass spectrometry technology, various metabolites were shown to covalently modify proteins via forms of lysine acylation, including lysine acetylation, crotonylation, lactylation, succinylation, propionylation, butyrylation, malonylation, glutarylation, 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation and β-hydroxybutyrylation. These modifications can regulate gene expression and intracellular signalling pathways, highlighting the extensive roles of metabolites. Lysine acetylation is not discussed in detail in this review since it has been broadly investigated. We focus on the nine aforementioned novel lysine acylations beyond acetylation, which can be classified into two categories: histone acylations and nonhistone acylations. We summarize the characteristics and common functions of these acylation types and, most importantly, provide a glimpse into their fine-tuned control of tumorigenesis and potential value in tumour diagnosis, monitoring and therapy.

Non-Histone Lysine Crotonylation Is Involved in the Regulation of White Fat Browning. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232112733.

Abstract
Lysine crotonylation modification is a novel acylation modification that is similar to acetylation modification. Studies have found that protein acetylation plays an important regulatory part in the occurrence and prevention of obesity and is involved in the regulation of glucose metabolism, tricarboxylic acid cycle, white fat browning and fatty acid metabolism. Therefore, we speculate that protein crotonylation may also play a more vital role in regulating the browning of white fat. To verify this conjecture, we identified 7254 crotonyl modification sites and 1629 modified proteins in iWAT of white fat browning model mice by affinity enrichment and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). We selected five representative proteins in the metabolic process, namely glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 1 (GPD1), fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4), adenylate kinase 2 (AK2), triosephosphate isomerase 1 (TPI1) and NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) 1 alpha subcomplex 8 (NDUFA8). Through qPCR, Western blotting, immunofluorescence staining, Oil Red O staining and HE staining, we demonstrated that GPD1 and FABP4 inhibited white fat browning, while AK2, TPI1 and NDUFA8 promoted white fat browning. GPD1 and FABP4 proteins were downregulated by crotonylation modification, while AK2, TPI1 and NDUFA8 proteins were upregulated by crotonylation modification. Further detection found that the crotonylation modification of GPD1, FABP4, AK2, TPI1 and NDUFA8 promoted white fat browning, which was consistent with the sequencing results. These results indicate that the protein crotonylation is involved in regulating white fat browning, which is of great significance for controlling obesity and treating obesity-related diseases.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the pathogenic agent of tuberculosis, remains a primary inducement of morbidity and mortality globally. Mtb have evolved mechanisms to recognize diverse signals, such as acidic pH within phagolysosomes and therefore to reprogram multiple physiological and metabolic processes to adapt to intracellular survival. Moreover, lysine malonylation has been suggested to participate in regulation of enzymes in carbon metabolism. However, lysine malonylation in Mtb and its association with acidic pH associated metabolism adaptation remain unknown. Here, we systematically characterized the comparative malonylome of Mtb H37Rv grown in normal (7H9-Tyloxapol (Ty)-7.4) and acidic (7H9-Ty-4.5) medium mimicking lysosome pH. In total, 2467 lysine malonylation sites within 1026 proteins were identified, which related to diverse biological processes, particularly accumulated in metabolic process. 1090 lysine malonylation sites from 562 proteins were quantified, among which 391 lysine malonylation sites in 273 protein were down-regulated while 40 lysine malonylation sites from 36 proteins were up-regulated in acidic medium, indicating that malonylation may participate in acidic pH associated metabolism. Accordingly, the enzyme activity of GlcB was reduced under acidic stress corresponding to decreased malonylation of GlcB compared with that of normal condition and this was further demonstrated by site-specific mutations. We further found that Mtb-CobB, a sirtuin-like deacetylase and desuccinylase, involved in demalonylase activity. Together, the Mtb malonylome not only indicates the critical role of malonylation in metabolism regulation, but may provide new insights of malonylation on metabolism adaptation to acidic micro-environment in vivo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemic heart disease is a major global public health challenge, and its functional outcomes remain poor. Lysine crotonylation (Kcr) was recently identified as a post-translational histone modification that robustly indicates active promoters. However, the role of Kcr in myocardial injury is unknown. In this study, we aimed to clarify the pathophysiological significance of Kcr in cardiac injury and explore the underlying mechanism. METHODS We investigated the dynamic change of both the Kcr sites and protein level in left ventricular tissues at 2 time points following sham or cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury, followed by liquid chromatography-coupled tandem mass tag mass spectrometry. After validation of the enriched protein Kcr by immunoprecipitation and Western blot, the function and mechanism of specific Kcr sites were further investigated in vitro and in vivo by gain- or loss-of-function mutations targeting Kcr sites of selected proteins. RESULTS We found that cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury triggers preferential Kcr of proteins required for cardiomyocyte contractility, including mitochondrial and cytoskeleton proteins, which occurs largely independently of protein-level changes in the same proteins. Those exhibiting Kcr changes were associated not only with disruption of cardiomyocyte mitochondrial, sarcomere architecture, and gap junction but also with cardiomyocyte autophagy and apoptosis. Modulating site-specific Kcr of selected mitochondrial protein IDH3a (isocitrate dehydrogenase 3 [NAD+] alpha) at K199 and cytoskeletal protein TPM1 (tropomyosin alpha-1 chain) at K28/29 or enhancing general Kcr via sodium crotonate provision not only protects cardiomyocyte from apoptosis by inhibiting BNIP3 (Bcl-2 adenovirus E18 19-kDa-interacting protein 3)-mediated mitophagy or cytoskeleton structure rearrangement but also preserves postinjury myocardial function by inhibiting fibrosis and apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that Kcr modulation is a key response of cardiomyocytes to ischemia-reperfusion injury and may represent a novel therapeutic target in the context of ischemic heart disease.

Dou L, Zhang Z, Xu L, Zou Q. iKcr_CNN: A novel computational tool for imbalance classification of human nonhistone crotonylation sites based on convolutional neural networks with focal loss. Comput Struct Biotechnol J 2022; 20:3268-3279. [PMID: 35832615 PMCID: PMC9251780 DOI: 10.1016/j.csbj.2022.06.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2022] [Revised: 06/13/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Lysine crotonylation (Kcr) is a newly discovered protein post-translational modification and has been proved to be widely involved in various biological processes and human diseases. Thus, the accurate and fast identification of this modification became the preliminary task in investigating the related biological functions. Due to the long duration, high cost and intensity of traditional high-throughput experimental techniques, constructing bioinformatics predictors based on machine learning algorithms is treated as a most popular solution. Although dozens of predictors have been reported to identify Kcr sites, only two, nhKcr and DeepKcrot, focused on human nonhistone protein sequences. Moreover, due to the imbalance nature of data distribution, associated detection performance is severely biased towards the major negative samples and remains much room for improvement. In this research, we developed a convolutional neural network framework, dubbed iKcr_CNN, to identify the human nonhistone Kcr modification. To overcome the imbalance issue (Kcr: 15,274; non-Kcr: 74,018 with imbalance ratio: 1:4), we applied the focal loss function instead of the standard cross-entropy as the indicator to optimize the model, which not only assigns different weights to samples belonging to different categories but also distinguishes easy- and hard-classified samples. Ultimately, the obtained model presents more balanced prediction scores between real-world positive and negative samples than existing tools. The user-friendly web server is accessible at ikcrcnn.webmalab.cn/, and the involved Python scripts can be conveniently downloaded at github.com/lijundou/iKcr_CNN/. The proposed model may serve as an efficient tool to assist academicians with their experimental researches.

Abstract
Lysine crotonylation (Kcr) is a newly discovered posttranslational modification (PTM), which has been studied at the proteomics level in a few species, with the study of Kcr in female fertility and in insect species is still lacking. Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) is a well-known beneficial insect used as a natural biological control agent against aphids in agriculture. Here, global Kcr identification in ovarian tissue of H. axyridis at diapause stage was performed to reveal potential roles for Kcr in H. axyridis ovarian cellular processes, female fertility and diapause regulation. In total, 3084 Kcr sites in 920 proteins were identified. Bioinformatic analyses revealed the distribution of these proteins in multiple subcellular localization categories and their involvement in diverse biological processes and metabolism pathways. Carbohydrate and energy metabolism related cellular processes including citric acid cycle, glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation appeared be affected by Kcr modification. In addition, regulation of translation and protein biosynthesis may reflect Kcr involvement in diapause in H. axyridis, with Kcr affecting ribosome activities and amino acid metabolism. Moreover, Kcr modulation H. axyridis ovary development regulation may share some common mechanism with Kcr participation in some disease progression. These processes and pathways were uncovered under diapause stage, but possibly not enriched/specific for diapause stage due to limitations of qualitative proteomics experimental design. Our results informs on the potential for Kcr modifications to regulate female fertility and insect physiology.

Abstract
The emergence of a nucleosome-based chromatin structure accompanied the evolutionary transition from prokaryotes to eukaryotes. In this scenario, histones became the heart of the complex and precisely timed coordination between chromatin architecture and functions during adaptive responses to environmental influence by means of epigenetic mechanisms. Notably, such an epigenetic machinery involves an overwhelming number of post-translational modifications at multiple residues of core and linker histones. This review aims to comprehensively describe old and recent evidence in this exciting field of research. In particular, histone post-translational modification establishing/removal mechanisms, their genomic locations and implication in nucleosome dynamics and chromatin-based processes, as well as their harmonious combination and interdependence will be discussed.

Abstract
Crotonylation is a kind of newly discovered acylation modification. Thousands of crotonylation sites have been identified in histone and non-histone proteins over the past decade. As a modification closely related to acetylation, crotonylation was reported to share many universal enzymes with acetylation. Crotonylated proteins have important roles in the regulation of various biological processes, such as gene expression, process of spermatogenesis, cell cycle, and also in the pathogenesis of different diseases, which range from depression to cancer. In this review, we summarize the research processes of crotonylation and discuss the advances of regulation mechanism of both histone and non-histone proteins crotonylation in difference physiological processes. Also, we focus on the alteration of the crotonylation under certain pathological conditions and its role in the pathogenesis of each disease.

Abstract
Myzus persicae is one of the most important economic pests of cultivated crops. In the present study, we used an integrated approach involving high-performance liquid chromatography fractionation, affinity enrichment, and mass spectrometry-based proteomics to carry out a comprehensive proteomic analysis of lysine crotonylation in M. persicae. Altogether, 7530 lysine crotonylation sites were identified in 2452 protein groups. Intensive bioinformatic analyses were then carried out to annotate those lysine crotonylated targets identified in terms of Gene Ontology annotation, domain annotation, subcellular localization, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway annotation, functional cluster analysis, etc. Analysis results showed that lysine-crotonylated proteins were involved in many biological processes, such as the amino acid metabolism, aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, spliceosomes, ribosomes, and so forth. Notably, the interaction network showed that there were 199 crotonylated proteins involved in the amino acid metabolism and numerous crotonylation targets associated with fatty acid biosynthesis and degradation. The results provide a system-wide view of the entire M. persicae crotonylome and a rich data set for functional analysis of crotonylated proteins in this economically important pest, which marks an important beginning for the further research.

Abstract
Introduction The modification of lysine crotonylation (Kcr) is another biological function of histone in addition to modification of lysine acetylation (Kac), which may play a specific regulatory role in diseases. Objectives This study compared the expression levels of Kcr and proteome between patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) combined with type II respiratory failure (RF) to study the relationship between Kcr, proteome, and COPD. Methods We tested the Kcr and proteome of COPD combined with type II RF and normal control (NC) using croton acylation enrichment technology and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with high resolution. Results We found that 32 sites of 23 proteins were upregulated and 914 sites of 295 proteins were downregulated. We performed Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), protein domain, and Gene Ontology (GO) analysis on crotonylated protein. In proteomics research, we found that 190 proteins were upregulated and 151 proteins were downregulated. Among them, 90 proteins were both modified by differentially expressed crotonylation sites and differentially expressed in COPD combined with type II RF and NC. Conclusion Differentially expressed crotonylation sites may be involved in the development of COPD combined with type II RF. 90 proteins modified by crotonylation and differentially expressed in COPD combined with type II RF can be used as markers for the study of the molecular pathogenesis of COPD combined with type II RF.

Abstract
Crotonylation of proteins is a newly found type of post-translational modifications (PTMs) which occurs leadingly on the lysine residue, namely, lysine crotonylation (Kcr). Kcr is conserved and is regulated by a series of enzymes and co-enzymes including lysine crotonyltransferase (writer), lysine decrotonylase (eraser), certain YEATS proteins (reader), and crotonyl-coenzyme A (donor). Histone Kcr has been substantially studied since 2011, but the Kcr of non-histone proteins is just an emerging field since its finding in 2017. Recent advances in the identification and quantification of non-histone protein Kcr by mass spectrometry have increased our understanding of Kcr. In this review, we summarized the main proteomic characteristics of non-histone protein Kcr and discussed its biological functions, including gene transcription, DNA damage response, enzymes regulation, metabolic pathways, cell cycle, and localization of heterochromatin in cells. We further proposed the performance of non-histone protein Kcr in diseases and the prospect of Kcr manipulators as potential therapeutic candidates in the diseases.

Abstract
Lysine crotonylation (Kcr) is a newly discovered type of protein post-translational modification and has been reported to be involved in various pathophysiological processes. High-resolution mass spectrometry is the primary approach for identification of Kcr sites. However, experimental approaches for identifying Kcr sites are often time-consuming and expensive when compared with computational approaches. To date, several predictors for Kcr site prediction have been developed, most of which are capable of predicting crotonylation sites on either histones alone or mixed histone and nonhistone proteins together. These methods exhibit high diversity in their algorithms, encoding schemes, feature selection techniques and performance assessment strategies. However, none of them were designed for predicting Kcr sites on nonhistone proteins. Therefore, it is desirable to develop an effective predictor for identifying Kcr sites from the large amount of nonhistone sequence data. For this purpose, we first provide a comprehensive review on six methods for predicting crotonylation sites. Second, we develop a novel deep learning-based computational framework termed as CNNrgb for Kcr site prediction on nonhistone proteins by integrating different types of features. We benchmark its performance against multiple commonly used machine learning classifiers (including random forest, logitboost, naïve Bayes and logistic regression) by performing both 10-fold cross-validation and independent test. The results show that the proposed CNNrgb framework achieves the best performance with high computational efficiency on large datasets. Moreover, to facilitate users' efforts to investigate Kcr sites on human nonhistone proteins, we implement an online server called nhKcr and compare it with other existing tools to illustrate the utility and robustness of our method. The nhKcr web server and all the datasets utilized in this study are freely accessible at http://nhKcr.erc.monash.edu/.

Abstract
Histone crotonylation is a newly identified epigenetic modification that has a pronounced ability to regulate gene expression. It belongs to an expanding group of short chain lysine acylations that also includes the extensively studied mark histone acetylation. Emerging evidence suggests that histone crotonylation is functionally distinct from histone acetylation and that competition for sites of modification, which reflects the cellular metabolic status, could be an important epigenetic mechanism that regulates diverse processes. Here, we discuss the enzymatic and metabolic regulation of histone crotonylation, the “reader” proteins that selectively recognise this modification and translate it into diverse functional outcomes within the cell, as well as the identified physiological roles of histone crotonylation, which range from signal-dependent gene activation to spermatogenesis and tissue injury.

Abstract
Histone crotonylation is a recently described post-translational modification that occurs at multiple identified histone lysine crotonylation sites. An increasing number of studies have demonstrated that histone crotonylation at DNA regulatory elements plays an important role in the activation of gene transcription. However, among others, we have shown that elevated cellular crotonylation levels result in the inhibition of endocytosis-related gene expression and pro-growth gene expression, implicating the complexity of histone crotonylation in gene regulation. Therefore, it is important to understand how histone crotonylation is regulated and how it, in turn, regulates the expression of its target genes. In this review, we summarize the regulatory factors that control histone crotonylation and discuss the role of different histone crotonylation sites in regulating gene expression, while providing novel insights into the central role of histone crotonylation in gene regulation.

Abstract
Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogen that causes lethal fungal infections in immunocompromised patients. Lysine crotonylation is a newly discovered PTM (posttranslational modification) epigenetic type that may play a critical role in regulating gene expression. In this study, we used an antibody-enrichment approach along with LC-MS/MS to carry out a quantitative crotonylome analysis in C. albicans We found a total of 5,242 crotonylation sites and 1,584 crotonylated proteins among 9,038 proteins in this organism. Of these crotonylated proteins, a few unique crotonylated motifs are noted such as D and E in positions +1, +2, or +3 or K and R in positions +5 or +6, while A, E, F, G, P, W, and Y are in the -1 position or A, K, and R are found in positions -5, -6, -7, or -8. Functional analysis has shown that a majority of the crotonylated proteins are related to biosynthetic events and carbon metabolism. When combined with previously collected data on acetylation and succinylation, PPI (protein-protein interaction network) analysis reveals that proteins with functions in ribosomal biogenesis, oxidative phosphorylation, nucleus activity, and proteasome formation are heavily modified by these three PTM types. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first crotonylome study carried out in C. albicans and is an important step to a better understanding of the biological and pathogenic impact of PTM in C. albicans IMPORTANCE C. albicans is a kind of pathogen of fungal infections that is found worldwide. Lysine crotonylation of proteins as a recently discovered PTM (posttranslational modification) may have a critical role in regulating cells. We first carried out large-scale analysis of crotonylated proteome and multiple PTM analysis (acetylation, succinylation, and crotonylation), then drew a diagram to show multiple PTM sites on histones in C. albicans of our study. This study about crotonylome in human pathogenic fungi is a milestone that first and deeply investigates the functional analysis of crotonylated proteins in C. albicans, which marks an important start for further research.

Abstract
Histone crotonylation is a non-acetyl histone lysine modification that is as widespread as acetylation. However, physiological functions associated with histone crotonylation remain almost completely unknown. Here we report that histone crotonylation is crucial for endoderm differentiation. We demonstrate that key crotonyl-coenzyme A (CoA)-producing enzymes are specifically induced in endodermal cells during differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) in vitro and in mouse embryos, where they function to increase histone crotonylation and enhance endodermal gene expression. Chemical enhancement of histone crotonylation promotes endoderm differentiation of hESCs, whereas deletion of crotonyl-CoA-producing enzymes reduces histone crotonylation and impairs meso/endoderm differentiation in vitro and in vivo. Our study uncovers a histone crotonylation-mediated mechanism that promotes endodermal commitment of pluripotent stem cells, which may have important implications for therapeutic strategies against a number of human diseases.

Abstract
In Brucella spp., the type IV secretion system (T4SS) is essential for bacterial intracellular survival and inhibition of the host innate immune response. The Brucella T4SS secretes 15 different effectors to escape host immunity and promote intracellular replication. Among them, BspF has a GNAT-family acetyltransferase domain, implying its acetyltransferase activity. We confirmed that BspF has acetyltransferase activity (data not shown) and de-crotonyltransferase activity. However, BspF overexpressed in HEK-293T cells can also enhance octamer crotonylation in vitro. Then we enriched crotonylated proteins and conducted LC-MS to study the crotonylation changes of proteins in HEK-293T cells caused by BspF overexpression. A total of 5,559 crotonylation sites were identified on 1,525 different proteins, of which 331 sites on 265 proteins were significantly changed. We found that Rab9A and RAP1B in proteomics data have a great impact on Brucella survival, so we speculate that BspF may influence the function of host proteins by altering crotonylation, thereby promoting the intracellular propagation of Brucella.

Abstract
Lysine crotonylation (Kcr) is a histone post-translational modification that is implicated in numerous epigenetic pathways and diseases. Recognition of Kcr by YEATS domains has been proposed to occur through intermolecular amide-π and alkene-π interactions, but little is known about the driving force of these key interactions. Herein, we probed the recognition of lysine crotonylation and acetylation by the AF9 YEATS domain through incorporation of noncanonical Phe analogs with distinct electrostatics at two positions. We found that amide-π interactions between AF9 and acyllysines are electrostatically tunable, with electron-rich rings providing more favorable interactions. This differs from trends in amide-heteroarene interactions and provides insightful information for therapeutic design. Additionally, we report for the first time that CH-π interactions at Phe28 directly contribute to AF9's recognition of acyllysines, illuminating differences among YEATS domains, as this residue is not highly conserved but has been shown to impart selectivity for specific post-translational modification.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results in decreased oocyte quality and compromised early embryonic development. Procyanidin B2 (PB2) is a natural compound extracted from grape seeds and has strong antioxidant activity in vivo. This study evaluated the effect of PB2 on oocyte maturation in diabetic mice. Diabetic mice were induced by streptozotocin (STZ) injection. PB2 was supplemented in the in vitro maturation medium, and the ratio of germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) and polar body extrusion (PBE), reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, mitochondrial function, developmental ability, as well as crotonylation at H4K5 were determined in oocytes. PB2 can promote the extrusion of PBE (88.34% vs. 75.02%, P < 0.05); reduce the generation of ROS (1.12 vs. 1.96, P < 0.05); and improve the level of mitochondrial membrane potential (0.87 vs. 0.79 Δφm, P < 0.05), ATP level (1.31 vs. 0.71 pmol, P < 0.05), and mitochondria temperature (618.25 vs. 697.39 pixels, P < 0.05). The addition of PB2 also improved the level of oocyte crotonylation at H4K5 (crH4K5) (47.26 vs. 59.68 pixels, P < 0.05) and increased the blastocyst rate (61.51% vs. 36.07%, P < 0.05) after parthenogenetic activation. Our results are the first to reveal a role for PB2 in promoting the viability of oocytes by regulating the mitochondrial function. Moreover, we uncover that PB2 can improve the level of crH4K5, which provides a new strategy to combat the decline in oocyte quality of diabetic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation (Khib), a newly identified post-translational modification, is known to regulate transcriptional activity in animals. However, extensive studies of the lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylome in plants and animals have yet to be performed. RESULTS In this study, using LC-MS/MS qualitative proteomics strategies, we identified 4163 Khib sites on 1596 modified proteins in rice (Oryza sativa) seedlings. Motif analysis revealed 10 conserved motifs flanking the Khib sites, and subcellular localization analysis revealed that 44% of the Khib proteins are localized in the chloroplast. Gene ontology function, KEGG pathway, and protein domain enrichment analyses revealed that Khib occurs on proteins involved in diverse biological processes and is especially enriched in carbon metabolism and photosynthesis. Among the modified proteins, 20 Khib sites were identified in histone H2A and H2B, while only one site was identified in histone H4. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis further demonstrated that Khib participates in diverse biological processes including ribosomal activity, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, and metabolic pathways. In addition, a comparison of lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation, acetylation, and crotonylation in the rice proteome showed that 45 proteins with only 26 common lysine sites are commonly modified by three PTMs. The crosstalk of modified sites and PPI among these PTMs may form a complex network with both similar and different regulatory mechanisms. CONCLUSIONS In summary, our study comprehensively profiles the lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylome in rice and provides a better understanding of its biological functions in plants.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are the most severe consequences of kidney injury. They are interconnected syndromes as CKD predisposes to AKI and AKI may accelerate CKD progression. Despite their growing impact on the global burden of disease, there is no satisfactory treatment for AKI and current therapeutic approaches to CKD remain suboptimal. Recent research has focused on the therapeutic target potential of epigenetic regulation of gene expression, including non-coding RNAs and the covalent modifications of histones and DNA. Indeed, several drugs targeting histone modifications are in clinical use or undergoing clinical trials. Acyl-lysine histone modifications (e.g. methylation, acetylation, and crotonylation) have modulated experimental kidney injury. Most recently, increased histone lysine crotonylation (Kcr) was observed during experimental AKI and could be reproduced in cultured tubular cells exposed to inflammatory stress triggered by the cytokine TWEAK. The degree of kidney histone crotonylation was modulated by crotonate availability and crotonate supplementation protected from nephrotoxic AKI. We now review the functional relevance of histone crotonylation in kidney disease and other pathophysiological contexts, as well as the implications for the development of novel therapeutic approaches. These studies provide insights into the overall role of histone crotonylation in health and disease.

Abstract
AIMS Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of histones are regulated by the availability of their respective acyl-CoAs. Among these histone PTMs, the metabolic origin of histone butyrylation (Kbu) is still poorly understood. MATERIAL AND METHODS The impact of starvation on the levels of Kbu was determined by western blotting on histones extracted from the liver of fed and fasted C57BL/6 mice and immunohistochemistry on liver paraffin sections. KEY FINDINGS Using animal model we provide evidence that the stimulation of ketogenesis following starvation, in addition to histone beta-hydroxybutyrylation (Kbhb), also leads to an increase in histone butyrylation (Kbu). Using an immunohistochemistry (IHC) approach we report first that hepatocytes contained butyrylated histones with important cell-to-cell heterogeneity. More importantly, our investigations based on western blotting and IHC also proposed that the basal levels of Kbu differ between male and female mice, with female mouse hepatocytes containing higher levels of butyrylated histones. Starvation enhanced solely histone Kbu levels in the liver of males but not females. SIGNIFICANCE This is the first demonstration of a sex-dependent large-scale stimulation of histone acylation. Our data also point to different basal metabolic conditions of the male and female liver cells with a sex-dependent impact on the hepatocytes' epigenome.

Abstract
Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) to histones such as lysine crotonylation are classified as epigenetic changes. Lysine crotonylation participates in various cellular processes and occurs in active promoters, directly accelerating transcription. The present study performed a proteomics analysis of crotonylation between healthy controls and patients with immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy using tandem mass spectrometry and high-resolution liquid chromatography. The present results identified 353 crotonylated proteins and 770 modification sites, including 155 upregulated and 198 downregulated crotonylated proteins. In total, seven conserved motifs were identified in the present study. The present bioinformatics analysis results suggested a number of the crotonylated proteins exhibited various subcellular localization patterns, such as in the cytoplasm. Protein domains, including thioredoxin, moesin tail and myosin like IQ motif domains were markedly enriched in crotonylated proteins. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and functional enrichment analyses suggested significant enrichment of crotonylated proteins in complement and coagulation cascades, and antigen processing and presentation pathways displaying important relationships with IgA nephropathy. The present results suggested that crotonylation occurred in numerous proteins and may play key regulatory roles in IgA nephropathy.

Abstract
Lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation (Khib) has recently been shown to be an evolutionarily conserved histone mark. Here, we report that CobB serves as a lysine de-2-hydroxyisobutyrylation enzyme that regulates glycolysis and cell growth in prokaryotes. We identified the specific binding of CobB to Khib using a novel self-assembled multivalent photocrosslinking peptide probe and demonstrated that CobB can catalyze lysine de-2-hydroxyisobutyrylation both in vivo and in vitro. R58 of CobB is a critical site for its de-2-hydroxyisobutyrylase activity. Using a quantitative proteomics approach, we identified 99 endogenous substrates that are targeted by CobB for de-2-hydroxyisobutyrylation. We further demonstrated that CobB can regulate the catalytic activities of enolase (ENO) by removing K343hib and K326ac of ENO simultaneously, which account for changes of bacterial growth. In brief, our study dissects a Khib-mediated molecular mechanism that is catalyzed by CobB for the regulation of the activity of metabolic enzymes as well as the cell growth of bacteria.

Abstract
Some X-linked genes necessary for spermiogenesis are specifically activated in the postmeiotic germ cells. However, the regulatory mechanism about this activation is not clearly understood. Here, we examined the potential mechanism controlling the transcriptional activation of the mouse testis specific gene A8 (Tsga8) gene in round spermatids. We observed that the Tsga8 expression was negatively correlated with the methylation level of the CpG sites in its core promoter. During spermatogenesis, the Tsga8 promoter was methylated in spermatogonia, and then demethylated in spermatocytes. The demethylation status of Tsga8 promoter was maintained through the postmeiotic germ cells, providing a potentially active chromatin for Tsga8 transcription. In vitro investigation showed that the E12 and Spz1 transcription factors can enhance the Tsga8 promoter activity by binding to the unmethylated E-box motif within the Tsga8 promoter. Additionally, the core Tsga8 promoter drove green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression in the germ cells of Tsga8-GFP transgenic mice, and the GFP expression pattern was similar to that of endogenous Tsga8. Moreover, the DNA methylation profile of the Tsga8-promoter-driven transgene was consistent with that of the endogenous Tsga8 promoter, indicating the existence of a similar epigenetic modification for the Tsga8 promoter to ensure its spatiotemporal expression in vivo. Taken together, this study reports the details of a regulatory mechanism that includes DNA methylation and transcription factors to mediate the postmeiotic expression of an X-linked gene.

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
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.

Nejire/dCBP-mediated histone H3 acetylation during spermatogenesis is essential for male fertility in Drosophila melanogaster. PLoS One 2018; 13:e0203622.

Abstract
Spermatogenesis in many species including Drosophila melanogaster is accompanied by major reorganisation of chromatin in post-meiotic stages, involving a nearly genome-wide displacement of histones by protamines, Mst77F and Protamine-like 99C. A proposed prerequisite for the histone-to-protamine transition is massive histone H4 hyper-acetylation prior to the switch. Here, we investigated the pattern of histone H3 lysine acetylation and general lysine crotonylation in D. melanogaster spermiogenesis to elucidate a possible role of these marks in chromatin reorganisation. Lysine crotonylation was strongest prior to remodelling and the deposition of this mark depended on the acetylation status of the spermatid chromatin. In contrast to H4 acetylation, individual H3 acetylation marks displayed surprisingly distinct patterns during the histone-to-protamine transition. We observed that Nejire, a histone acetyl transferase, is expressed during the time of histone-to-protamine transition. Nejire knock down led to strongly reduced fertility, which correlated with misshaped spermatid nuclei and a lack of mature sperm. protA and prtl99C transcript levels were reduced after knocking down Nejire. ProtB-eGFP, Mst77F-eGFP and Prtl99C-eGFP were synthesized at the late canoe stage, while histones were often not detectable. However, in some cysts histones persist in parallel to protamines. Therefore, we hypothesize that complete histone removal requires multiple histone modifications besides H3K18ac and H3K27ac. In summary, H3K18 and H3K27 acetylation during Drosophila spermatogenesis is dependent on Nejire or a yet uncharacterized acetyl transferase. We show that Nejire is required for male fertility since Nejire contributes to efficient transcription of protA and prtl99C, but not Mst77F, in spermatocytes, and to maturation of sperm.

Abstract
Patulin (PAT) is a mycotoxin produced by some Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Byssochlamys species. Rhodotorula mucilaginosa is able to degrade PAT in vivo as well as in vitro, up till date, the process and molecular mechanism(s) involved patulin degradation still remains unknown. Protein lysine crotonylation (Kcr) plays an important role in regulating chromatin dynamics, gene expression, and metabolic pathways in mammals and eukaryotes. Investigation of the Kcr changes accompanying degradation of patulin in R. mucilaginosa were observed to investigate the mechanisms of patulin inhibition. Tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling and Kcro affinity enrichment, followed by high-resolution LC-MS/MS analysis, were used to perform quantitative lysine crotonylome analysis on R. mucilaginosa. Consequently, 1691 lysine crotonylation sites in 629 protein groups were identified, among which we quantified 1457 sites in 562 proteins. Among the quantified proteins, 79 and 46 crotonylated proteins were up-regulated and down-regulated, respectively. The differentially up expressed modified proteins were mainly involved in tricarboxylic acid cycle and gluconeogenic pathway. The differentially down expressed Kcr proteins were mainly classified to ribosome and carbohydrate transport and metabolism. Bioinformatic analyses were performed to annotate the quantifiable lysine crotonylated targets. Moreover, interaction networks and high confidence domain architectures of crotonylated proteins were investigated with the aid of bioinformatic tools, and these results showed that there was an increase in the number of yeasts with crotonylated proteins. The results also provided information on the various roles of crotonylation, which are involved in PAT degradation.

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
The epigenetic modification of DNA involves the conversion of cytosine to 5-methylcytosine, also known as DNA methylation. DNA methylation is important in modulating gene expression and thus, regulating genome and cellular functions. Recent studies have shown that aberrations in DNA methylation are associated with various epigenetic disorders or diseases including cancer. This stimulates great interest in the development of methods that can detect and visualize DNA methylation. For instance, fluorescent proteins (FPs) in conjugation with methyl-CpG-binding domain (MBD) have been employed for live-cell imaging of DNA methylation. However, the FP-based approach showed fluorescence signals for both the DNA-bound and -unbound states and thus differentiation between these states is difficult. Synthetic-molecule/protein hybrid probes can provide an alternative to overcome this restriction. In this article, we discuss the synthetic-molecule/protein hybrid probe that we developed recently for live-cell imaging of DNA methylation, which exhibited fluorescence enhancement only after binding to methylated DNA.

Abstract
Lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation (Khib) is a novel post-translational modification (PTM), which was thought to play a role in active gene transcription and cellular proliferation. Here we report a comprehensive identification of Khib in Proteus mirabilis (P. mirabilis). By combining affinity enrichment with two-dimensional liquid chromatography and high-resolution mass spectrometry, 4735 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation sites were identified on 1051 proteins in P. mirabilis. These proteins bearing modifications were further characterized in abundance, distribution and functions. The interaction networks and domain architectures of these proteins with high confidence were revealed using bioinformatic tools. Our data demonstrate that many 2-hydroxyisobutyrylated proteins are involved in metabolic pathways, such as purine metabolism, pentose phosphate pathway and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis. The extensive distribution of Khib also indicates that the modification may play important influence to bacterial metabolism. The speculation is further supported by the observation that carbon sources can influence the occurrence of Khib Furthermore, we demonstrate that 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation on K343 was a negative regulatory modification on Enolase (ENO) activity, and molecular docking results indicate the regulatory mechanism that Khib may change the binding formation of ENO and its substrate 2-phospho-d-glycerate (2PG) and cause the substrate far from the active sites of enzyme. We hope this first comprehensive analysis of nonhistone Khib in prokaryotes is valuable for further functional investigation of this modification.

Abstract
Over the last decade, numerous histone acyl post-translational modifications (acyl-PTMs) have been discovered, of which the functional significance is still under intense study. Here, we use high-resolution mass spectrometry to accurately quantify eight acyl-PTMs in vivo and after in vitro enzymatic assays. We assess the ability of seven histone acetyltransferases (HATs) to catalyze acylations on histones in vitro using short-chain acyl-CoA donors, proving that they are less efficient towards larger acyl-CoAs. We also observe that acyl-CoAs can acylate histones through non-enzymatic mechanisms. Using integrated metabolomic and proteomic approaches, we achieve high correlation (R 2 > 0.99) between the abundance of acyl-CoAs and their corresponding acyl-PTMs. Moreover, we observe a dose-dependent increase in histone acyl-PTM abundances in response to acyl-CoA supplementation in in nucleo reactions. This study represents a comprehensive profiling of scarcely investigated low-abundance histone marks, revealing that concentrations of acyl-CoAs affect histone acyl-PTM abundances by both enzymatic and non-enzymatic mechanisms.

Abstract
Recognition of histone covalent modifications by chromatin-binding protein modules ("readers") constitutes a major mechanism for epigenetic regulation, typified by bromodomains that bind acetyllysine. Non-acetyl histone lysine acylations (e.g., crotonylation, butyrylation, propionylation) have been recently identified, but readers that prefer these acylations have not been characterized. Here we report that the AF9 YEATS domain displays selectively higher binding affinity for crotonyllysine over acetyllysine. Structural studies revealed an extended aromatic sandwiching cage with crotonyl specificity arising from π-aromatic and hydrophobic interactions between crotonyl and aromatic rings. These features are conserved among the YEATS, but not the bromodomains. Using a cell-based model, we showed that AF9 co-localizes with crotonylated histone H3 and positively regulates gene expression in a YEATS domain-dependent manner. Our studies define the evolutionarily conserved YEATS domain as a family of crotonyllysine readers and specifically demonstrate that the YEATS domain of AF9 directly links histone crotonylation to active transcription.

Abstract
Recently discovered histone lysine acylation marks increase the functional diversity of nucleosomes well beyond acetylation. Here, we focus on histone butyrylation in the context of sperm cell differentiation. Specifically, we investigate the butyrylation of histone H4 lysine 5 and 8 at gene promoters where acetylation guides the binding of Brdt, a bromodomain-containing protein, thereby mediating stage-specific gene expression programs and post-meiotic chromatin reorganization. Genome-wide mapping data show that highly active Brdt-bound gene promoters systematically harbor competing histone acetylation and butyrylation marks at H4 K5 and H4 K8. Despite acting as a direct stimulator of transcription, histone butyrylation competes with acetylation, especially at H4 K5, to prevent Brdt binding. Additionally, H4 K5K8 butyrylation also marks retarded histone removal during late spermatogenesis. Hence, alternating H4 acetylation and butyrylation, while sustaining direct gene activation and dynamic bromodomain binding, could impact the final male epigenome features. Active gene TSSs are marked by competing H4 K5K8 acetylation and butyrylation Histone butyrylation directly stimulates transcription H4K5 butyrylation prevents binding of the testis specific gene expression-driver Brdt H4K5K8 butyrylation is associated with delayed histone removal in spermatogenic cells

Abstract
Both bovine serum albumin (BSA) and skim-milk have been reported to improve sperm quality, primarily by enhancing sperm motility, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains unknown. In this study, boar semen samples were collected and diluted with Androstar® Plus extender containing different concentrations (0, 2, 4 g/l) of BSA and skim-milk. On days 0, 3, 5 and 7, the sperm motility parameters were determined using computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA), and the ATP concentrations, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) activity and mitochondrial membrane potential were evaluated using commercial kits. The levels of protein phosphorylation, acylation and ubiquitination were analyzed by western blot. The results showed that supplementation with BSA and skim-milk provided higher sperm motility parameters, ATP levels, GAPDH activity and mitochondrial membrane potential than the control group (P < 0.05). Interestingly, we found that the levels of protein phosphorylation, acetylation and succinylation of the spermatozoa in the treated groups were dramatically higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Though the protein ubiquitination level had a decreasing trend, the change in ubiquitination modification was not significantly different between the control group and treated groups. Moreover, the changes in protein modifications between the BSA treated group and skim-milk treated group were not distinctly dissimilar. Taken together, these results suggest that BSA and skim-milk had a positive role in the regulation of boar sperm motility by influencing sperm protein modifications changes as well as increasing the GAPDH activity, mitochondrial membrane potential, and intracellular ATP content. This research provides novel insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying BSA and skim-milk protective effects on boar sperm in the male reproductive system and suggests the feasibility of using skim-milk instead of BSA as a boar semen extender supplement.

Abstract
Histone crotonylation is a new lysine acylation type of post-translational modification (PTM) enriched at active gene promoters and potential enhancers in yeast and mammalian cells. However, lysine crotonylation in nonhistone proteins and plant cells has not yet been studied. In the present study, we performed a global crotonylation proteome analysis of Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco) using high-resolution LC-MS/MS coupled with highly sensitive immune-affinity purification. A total of 2044 lysine modification sites distributed on 637 proteins were identified, representing the most abundant lysine acylation proteome reported in the plant kingdom. Similar to lysine acetylation and succinylation in plants, lysine crotonylation was related to multiple metabolism pathways, such as carbon metabolism, the citrate cycle, glycolysis, and the biosynthesis of amino acids. Importantly, 72 proteins participated in multiple processes of photosynthesis, and most of the enzymes involved in chlorophyll synthesis were modified through crotonylation. Numerous crotonylated proteins were implicated in the biosynthesis, folding, and degradation of proteins through the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Several crotonylated proteins related to chromatin organization are also discussed here. These data represent the first report of a global crotonylation proteome and provide a promising starting point for further functional research of crotonylation in nonhistone proteins.
