Abstract
BACKGROUND Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) is a highly contagious pathogen that strongly influences the productivity of small ruminants worldwide. Acetylation is an important post-translational modification involved in regulation of multiple biological functions. However, the extent and function of acetylation in host cells during PPRV infection remains unknown. METHODS Dimethylation-labeling-based quantitative proteomic analysis of the acetylome of PPRV-infected Vero cells was performed. RESULTS In total, 1068 proteins with 2641 modification sites were detected in response to PPRV infection, of which 304 differentially acetylated proteins (DAcPs) with 410 acetylated sites were identified (fold change < 0.83 or > 1.2 and P < 0.05), including 109 up-regulated and 195 down-regulated proteins. Gene Ontology (GO) classification indicated that DAcPs were mostly located in the cytoplasm (43%) and participated in cellular and metabolic processes related to binding and catalytic activity. Functional enrichment indicated that the DAcPs were involved in the minichromosome maintenance complex, unfolded protein binding, helicase activity. Only protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum pathway was enriched. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of the identified proteins further indicated that a various chaperone and ribosome processes were modulated by acetylation. CONCLUSIONS To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study on acetylome in PPRV-infected host cell. Our findings establish an important baseline for future study on the roles of acetylation in the host response to PPRV replication and provide novel insights for understanding the molecular pathological mechanism of PPRV infection.

Abstract
Proteomics studies indicate that 10% of proteins in the opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii are acetylated, suggesting that lysine acetyltransferases and deacetylases function to maintain and regulate a robust bacterial acetylome. As the first step in exploring these fascinating prokaryotic enzymes, we now report the preparation and characterization of the lysine deacetylase Kdac1. We show that Kdac1 catalyzes the deacetylation of free acetyllysine and acetyllysine tetrapeptide assay substrates, and we also report the X-ray crystal structures of unliganded Kdac1 as well as its complex with the hydroxamate inhibitor Citarinostat. Kdac1 is a tetramer in solution and in the crystal; the crystal structure reveals that the L1 loop functions to stabilize quaternary structure, forming inter-subunit hydrogen bonds and salt bridges around a central arginine residue (R30). Surprisingly, the L1 loop partially blocks entry to the active site, but it is sufficiently flexible to allow for the binding of two Citarinostat molecules in the active site. The L12 loop is also important for maintaining quaternary structure; here, a conserved arginine (R278) accepts hydrogen bonds from the backbone carbonyl groups of residues in an adjacent monomer. Structural comparisons with two other prokaryotic lysine deacetylases reveal conserved residues in the L1 and L12 loops that similarly support tetramer assembly. These studies provide a structural foundation for understanding enzymes that regulate protein function in bacteria through reversible lysine acetylation, serving as a first step in the exploration of these enzymes as possible targets for the development of new antibiotics.

Abstract
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum (Foc) is a prominent pathogen that adversely affects cucumber (Cucumis sativus) production. In the pathogen's parasitic lifestyle, the pathogenesis and virulence evolution may be regulated by lysine acetylation, as demonstrated in many living organisms. However, its specific function in Foc remains poorly understood. In this study, the acetylome profiles of a mild virulence strain (foc-3b) and its derived virulence-enhanced strain (Ra-4) were analyzed before and post-inoculation on cucumber plants. In total, 10,664 acetylation sites were identified corresponding to 3874 proteins, and 45 conserved acetylation motifs were detected. Through comparison of the acetylomes, numerous differentially lysine-acetylated proteins were enriched in energy metabolism and protein processing processes, indicating the critical role of lysine acetylation during the transition from the saprotrophic lifestyle to the parasitic lifestyle. Comparative acetylome analyses on the two virulence-differentiated strains revealed that several differentially lysine-acetylated proteins were involved in pathways of defense response and energy metabolism. Ra-4 showed enhanced energy metabolism compared to foc-3b. This indicates that robust metabolic activity is required to achieve high virulence and facilitating adaptive evolution. Additionally, faster host responses are supported by an ample energy supply enhancing virulence. Thus, lysine acetylation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis and virulence evolution of Foc.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is a widespread infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb), which has been a significant burden for a long time. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are essential for protein function in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. This review focuses on the contribution of protein acetylation to the function of M. tb and its infected macrophages. The acetylation of M. tb proteins plays a critical role in virulence, drug resistance, regulation of metabolism, and host anti-TB immune response. Similarly, the PTMs of host proteins induced by M. tb are crucial for the development, treatment, and prevention of diseases. Host protein acetylation induced by M. tb is significant in regulating host immunity against TB, which substantially affects the disease's development. The review summarizes the functions and mechanisms of M. tb acetyltransferase in virulence and drug resistance. It also discusses the role and mechanism of M. tb in regulating host protein acetylation and immune response regulation. Furthermore, the current scenario of isoniazid usage in M. tb therapy treatment is examined. Overall, this review provides valuable information that can serve as a preliminary basis for studying pathogenic research, developing new drugs, exploring in-depth drug resistance mechanisms, and providing precise treatment for TB.

Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are essential for the regulation of myriad biological processes, and their aberrant function is implicated in cancer, neurodegeneration, and other diseases. The cytosolic isozyme HDAC6 is unique among the greater family of deacetylases in that it contains two catalytic domains, CD1 and CD2. HDAC6 CD2 is responsible for tubulin deacetylase and tau deacetylase activities, inhibition of which is a key goal as new therapeutic approaches are explored. Of particular interest as HDAC inhibitors are naturally occurring cyclic tetrapeptides such as Trapoxin A or HC Toxin, or the cyclic depsipeptides Largazole and Romidepsin. Even more intriguing are larger, computationally designed macrocyclic peptide inhibitors. Here, we report the 2.0 Å resolution crystal structure of HDAC6 CD2 complexed with macrocyclic octapeptide 1. Comparison with the previously reported structure of the complex with macrocyclic octapeptide 2 reveals that a potent thiolate-zinc interaction made by the unnatural amino acid (S)-2-amino-7-sulfanylheptanoic acid contributes to nanomolar inhibitory potency for each inhibitor. Apart from this zinc-binding residue, octapeptides adopt strikingly different overall conformations and make few direct hydrogen bonds with the protein. Intermolecular interactions are dominated by water-mediated hydrogen bonds; in essence, water molecules appear to cushion the enzyme-octapeptide interface. In view of the broad specificity observed for protein substrates of HDAC6 CD2, we suggest that the binding of macrocyclic octapeptides may mimic certain features of the binding of macromolecular protein substrates.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) play an essential role in most biological processes. PTMs on human proteins have been extensively studied. Studies on bacterial PTMs are emerging, which demonstrate that bacterial PTMs are different from human PTMs in their types, mechanisms and functions. Few PTM studies have been done on the microbiome. Here, we reviewed several studied PTMs in bacteria including phosphorylation, acetylation, succinylation, glycosylation, and proteases. We discussed the enzymes responsible for each PTM and their functions. We also summarized the current methods used to study microbiome PTMs and the observations demonstrating the roles of PTM in the microbe-microbe interactions within the microbiome and their interactions with the environment or host. Although new methods and tools for PTM studies are still needed, the existing technologies have made great progress enabling a deeper understanding of the functional regulation of the microbiome. Large-scale application of these microbiome-wide PTM studies will provide a better understanding of the microbiome and its roles in the development of human diseases.

Abstract
Protein posttranslational modifications (PTMs) play important roles in regulating numerous biological functions of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Lysine succinylation (Ksucc) and acetylation (Kac) are two important PTMs that have been identified in various bacterial species. However, the biological functions of Ksucc and Kac in vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) remain unclear. In this study, we systematically identified 3,260 Ksucc sites in 799 proteins and 7,935 Kac sites across 1,710 proteins in the VISA strain XN108. Functional analyses revealed that both Ksucc and Kac sites were highly enriched in several critical metabolic pathways, including ribosomal metabolism, tricarboxylic acid cycle, and glycolysis. Furthermore, a remarkable cross talk between Ksucc and Kac modifications was observed that almost 75% of the succinylated sites were also frequently acetylated. In addition, we identified SaCobB, a Sirtuin 2-like lysine deacetylase, as a bifunctional enzyme with both deacetylation and desuccinylation activities in S. aureus. We demonstrated the first lysine succinylome and acetylome in a VISA and identified SaCobB, a functional enzyme taking part in the regulation of Ksucc and Kac in S. aureus. Our findings provide valuable information for further study on the regulatory mechanisms of PTMs in S. aureus. IMPORTANCE Lysine succinylation (Ksucc) and acetylation (Kac) are two important protein posttranslational modifications (PTMs) that regulate numerous biological functions in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. However, the functions of Ksucc and Kac in Staphylococcus aureus are seldom described. Understanding of Ksucc and Kac modifications in S. aureus will facilitate the development of new strategies to control infections. Herein, we quantified both Ksucc and Kac in a vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) strain XN108, analyzed the interaction between these two PTMs, and identified SaCobB as a bifunctional enzyme with both deacetylation and desuccinylation activities. This study is the first description of dual PTMs, Ksucc and Kac profiles, in the VISA. The findings could provide valuable information for the following researches on the regulatory roles of PTMs in S. aureus.

Lysine Acetylome Profiling Reveals Diverse Functions of Acetylation in Deinococcus radiodurans. Microbiol Spectr 2022; 10:e0101621.

Abstract
Lysine acetylation is a highly conserved posttranslational modification that plays essential roles in multiple biological functions in a variety of organisms. Deinococcus radiodurans (D. radiodurans) is famous for its extreme resistance to radiation. However, few studies have focused on the lysine acetylation in D. radiodurans. In the present study, antibody enrichment technology and high-resolution liquid chromatography mass spectrometry are used to perform a global analysis of lysine acetylation of D. radiodurans. We create the largest acetylome data set in D. radiodurans to date, totally identifying 4,364 lysine acetylation sites on 1,410 acetylated proteins. Strikingly, of the 3,085 proteins annotated by the uniport database, 45.7% of proteins are acetylated in D. radiodurans. In particular, the glutamate (G) preferentially appears at the -1 and +1 positions of acetylated lysine residues by motif analysis. The acetylated proteins are involved in metabolic pathways, propanoate metabolism, carbon metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Protein-protein interaction networks demonstrate that four clusters are involved in DNA damage repair, including homologous recombination, mismatch repair, nucleotide excision repair, and base excision repair, which suggests that acetylation plays an indispensable role in the extraordinary capacity to survive high levels of ionizing radiation. Taken together, we report the most comprehensive lysine acetylation in D. radiodurans for the first time, which is of great significance to reveal its robust resistance to radiation. IMPORTANCE D. radiodurans is distinguished by the most radioresistant organism identified to date. Lysine acetylation is a highly conserved posttranslational modification that plays an essential role in the regulation of many cellular processes and may contribute to its extraordinary radioresistance. We integrate acetyl-lysine enrichment strategy, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and bioinformatics to profile the lysine acetylated proteins for the first time. It is striking that almost half of the total annotated proteins are identified as acetylated forms, which is the largest acetylome data set reported in D. radiodurans to date. The acetylated proteins are involved in metabolic pathways, propanoate metabolism, carbon metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and the tricarboxylic acid cycle. The results of this study reinforce the notion that acetylation plays critical regulatory roles in diverse aspects of the cellular process, especially in DNA damage repair and metabolism. It provides insight into the roles of lysine acetylation in the robust resistance to radiation.

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
Loss of fragile X retardation protein (FMRP) leads to fragile X syndrome (FXS), a common cause of inherited intellectual disability. Protein lysine acetylation (K-ac), a reversible post-translational modification of proteins, is associated with the regulation of brain development and neuropathies. However, a comprehensive hippocampal K-ac protein profile in response to FMRP deficiency has not been reported until now. Using LC-MS/MS to analyze the enriched K-ac peptides, this study identified 1629 K-ac hits across 717 proteins in the mouse hippocampus, and these proteins were enriched in several metabolic processes. Of them, 51 K-ac hits across 45 proteins were significantly changed upon loss of FMRP. These altered K-ac proteins were enriched in energy metabolic processes including carboxylic acid metabolism process, aerobic respiration and citrate cycle, linking with several neurological disorders such as lactic acidosis, Lewy body disease, Leigh disease and encephalopathies. In the mouse hippocampus and the hippocampal HT-22 cells, FMRP deficiency could induce altered K-ac modification of several key enzymes, decrease in ATP and increase in lactate. Thus, this study identified a global hippocampal lysine acetylome and an altered K-ac protein profile upon loss of FMRP linked to abnormal energy metabolism, implicating in the pathogenesis of FXS. SIGNIFICANCE: Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a common inherited neurodevelopment disorder characterized by intellectual disability and an increased risk for autism spectrum disorder. FXS is resulted from silencing of the FMR1 gene, which induces loss of its encoding protein FMRP. Molecular and metabolic changes of Fmr1-null animal models of FXS have been identified to potentially contribute to the pathogenesis of FXS. Here, we used a TMT-labeled quantitative proteomic analysis of the peptides enriched by anti-K-ac antibodies and identified a global K-ac protein profile in the mouse hippocampus with a total of 1629 K-ac peptides on 717 proteins. Of them, 51 K-ac peptides regarding 45 proteins altered in response to loss of FMRP, which were enriched in energy metabolic processes and were implicated in several neurological disorders. Thus this study for the first time provides a global hippocampal lysine acetylome upon FMRP deficiency linked to abnormal metabolic pathways, which may contribute to pathogenic mechanism of FXS.

Abstract
Lysine acetylation, a ubiquitous and dynamic regulatory posttranslational modification (PTM), affects hundreds of proteins across all domains of life. In bacteria, lysine acetylation can be found in many essential pathways, and it is also crucial for bacterial virulence. However, the biological significance of lysine acetylation events to bacterial virulence factors remains poorly characterized. In Streptococcus mutans, the acetylome profiles help identify several lysine acetylation sites of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), which catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to lactic acid, causing the deterioration of teeth. We investigated the regulatory mechanism of LDH acetylation and characterized the effect of LDH acetylation on its function. We overexpressed the 15 Gcn5 N-acetyltransferases (GNAT) family members in S. mutans and showed that the acetyltransferase ActA impaired its acidogenicity by acetylating LDH. Additionally, enzymatic acetyltransferase reactions demonstrated that purified ActA could acetylate LDH in vitro, and 10 potential lysine acetylation sites of LDH were identified by mass spectrometry, 70% of which were also detected in vivo. We further demonstrated that the lysine acetylation of LDH inhibited its enzymatic activity, and a subsequent rat caries model showed that ActA impaired the cariogenicity of S. mutans. Collectively, we demonstrated that ActA, the first identified and characterized acetyltransferase in S. mutans, acetylated the LDH enzymatically and inhibited its enzymatic activity, thereby providing a starting point for the further analysis of the biological significance of lysine acetylation in the virulence of S. mutans.

Abstract
Histone acetyltransferases (HATs, also known as lysine acetyltransferases, KATs) catalyze acetylation of their cognate protein substrates using acetyl-CoA (Ac-CoA) as a cofactor and are involved in various physiological and pathological processes. Advances in mass spectrometry-based proteomics have allowed the discovery of thousands of acetylated proteins and the specific acetylated lysine sites. However, due to the rapid dynamics and functional redundancy of HAT activities, and the limitation of using antibodies to capture acetylated lysines, it is challenging to systematically and precisely define both the substrates and sites directly acetylated by a given HAT. Here, we describe a chemoproteomic approach to identify and profile protein substrates of individual HAT enzymes on the proteomic scale. The approach involves protein engineering to enlarge the Ac-CoA binding pocket of the HAT of interest, such that a mutant form is generated that can use functionalized acyl-CoAs as a cofactor surrogate to bioorthogonally label its protein substrates. The acylated protein substrates can then be chemoselectively conjugated either with a fluorescent probe (for imaging detection) or with a biotin handle (for streptavidin pulldown and chemoproteomic identification). This modular chemical biology approach has been successfully implemented to identify protein substrates of p300, GCN5, and HAT1, and it is expected that this method can be applied to profile and identify the sub-acetylomes of many other HAT enzymes. © 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

Abstract
Pyruvate kinase I (PykF) is one of the key enzymes of glycolysis and plays a crucial role in bacterial metabolism. Several acetylation sites of Vibrio alginolyticus PykF were reported in previous studies and then 11 sites were first verified in this study, however, the specific roles of PykF acetylation remains unclear. Overlap-PCR and homologous recombination were implied to delete V. alginolyticus pykF gene and constructed complementary strains of site-directed mutagenesis for the further research focus on the deacetylation regulation on PykF. The results showed that the pyruvate kinase activity was sharply suppressed in the deacetylation status of K52, K68, and K317 of PykF, as well as the extracellular protease activity was significantly decreased in the deacetylation status of K52 and K68, but not induced with K317. Moreover, the growth rates of V. alginolyticus were not influenced with these three deacetylation sites. The ΔpykF mutant exhibited a 6-fold reduction in virulence to zebrafish. Site-directed mutations of K52R and K68R also showed reduced virulence while mutations of K317R didn't. The in vitro experiments showed that PykF was acetylated by acetyl phosphate (AcP), with the increase of incubation time by AcP, the acetylation level of PykF increased while the enzyme activity of PykF decreased correspondingly. Besides, PykF was deacetylated by CobB deacetylase and in result that the deacetylation was significantly down-regulated while the pyruvate kinase activity of PykF increased. Moreover, deletion of cobB gene had no significant difference in pyruvate kinase activity. These results confirm that CobB can regulate the acetylation level and pyruvate kinase activity of PykF. In summary, the results of this study provide a theoretical basis for further understanding of the deacetylation modification of PykF. It provides a new idea for the prevention and cure of vibriosis.

Abstract
Involving addition of chemical groups or protein units to specific residues of the target protein, post-translational modifications (PTMs) alter the charge, hydrophobicity, and conformation of a protein, which in tune influences protein function, protein - protein interaction, and protein aggregation. While the occurrence of PTMs is dynamic and subject to regulations, conformational disorder of the target protein facilitates PTMs. The microtubule-associated protein tau is a typical intrinsically disordered protein that undergoes a variety of PTMs including phosphorylation, acetylation, ubiquitination, methylation, and oxidation. Accumulated evidence shows that these PTMs play a critical role in regulating tau-microtubule interaction, tau localization, tau degradation and aggregation, and reinforces the correlation between tau PTMs and pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disease. Here, we review tau PTMs with an emphasis on their influence on tau structure. With available biophysical characterization results, we describe how PTMs induce conformational changes in tau monomer and regulate tau aggregation. Compared to functional analysis of tau PTMs, biophysical characterization of tau PTMs is lagging. While it is challenging, characterizing the specific effects of PTMs on tau conformation and interaction is indispensable to unravel the tau PTM code.

Abstract
Lysine acetylation (Kac) is an important post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins in all organisms, but its functions have not been extensively explored in filamentous fungi. In this study, a Tandem Mass Tag (TMT) labelling lysine acetylome was constructed, and differentially modified Kac proteins were quantified during mycoparasitism and vegetative growth in the biocontrol fungus Clonostachys chloroleuca 67–1, using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). A total of 1448 Kac sites were detected on 740 Kac proteins, among which 126 sites on 103 proteins were differentially regulated. Systematic bioinformatics analyses indicate that the modified Kac proteins were from multiple subcellular localizations and involved in diverse functions including chromatin assembly, glycometabolism and redox activities. All Kac sites were characterized by 10 motifs, including the novel CxxKac motif. The results suggest that Kac proteins may have effects of broadly regulating protein interaction networks during C. chloroleuca parasitism to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum sclerotia. This is the first report of a correlation between Kac events and the biocontrol activity of C. chloroleuca. Our findings provide insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying C. chloroleuca control of plant fungal pathogens regulated by Kac proteins.

Abstract
Protein lysine acetylation (Kac) is an important post-translational modification in both animal and plant cells. Global Kac identification has been performed at the proteomic level in various species. However, the study of Kac in oil and resource plant species is relatively limited. Soybean is a globally important oil crop and resouce plant. In the present study, lysine acetylome analysis was performed in soybean leaves with proteomics techniques. Various bioinformatics analyses were performed to illustrate the structure and function of these Kac sites and proteins. Totally, 3148 acetylation sites in 1538 proteins were detected. Motif analysis of these Kac modified peptides extracted 17 conserved motifs. These Kac modified protein showed a wide subcellular location and functional distribution. Chloroplast is the primary subcellular location and cellular component where Kac proteins were localized. Function and pathways analyses indicated a plenty of biological processes and metabolism pathways potentially be influenced by Kac modification. Ribosome activity and protein biosynthesis, carbohydrate and energy metabolism, photosynthesis and fatty acid metabolism may be regulated by Kac modification in soybean leaves. Our study suggests Kac plays an important role in soybean physiology and biology, which is an available resource and reference of Kac function and structure characterization in oil crop and resource plant, as well as in plant kingdom.

Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) remove acetyl groups from acetylated lysine residues and have a large variety of substrates and interaction partners. Therefore, it is not surprising that HDACs are involved in many diseases. Most inhibitors of zinc-dependent HDACs (HDACis) including approved drugs contain a hydroxamate as a zinc-binding group (ZBG), which is by far the biggest contributor to affinity, while chemical variation of the residual molecule is exploited to create more or less selectivity against HDAC isozymes or other metalloproteins. Hydroxamates have a propensity for nonspecificity and have recently come under considerable suspicion because of potential mutagenicity. Therefore, there are significant concerns when applying hydroxamate-containing compounds as therapeutics in chronic diseases beyond oncology due to unwanted toxic side effects. In the last years, several alternative ZBGs have been developed, which can replace the critical hydroxamate group in HDACis, while preserving high potency. Moreover, these compounds can be developed into highly selective inhibitors. This review aims at providing an overview of the progress in the field of non-hydroxamic HDACis in the time period from 2015 to present. Formally, ZBGs are clustered according to their binding mode and structural similarity to provide qualitative assessments and predictions based on available structural information.

Abstract
Aspergillus flavus (A. flavus) is a ubiquitous and opportunistic fungal pathogen that causes invasive and non-invasive aspergillosis in humans and animals. This fungus is also capable of infecting a large number of agriculture crops (e.g., peanuts, maze, cotton seeds, rice, etc.), causing economic losses and posing serious food-safety concerns when these crops are contaminated with aflatoxins, the most potent naturally occurring carcinogens. In particular, A. flavus and aflatoxins are intensely studied, and they continue to receive considerable attention due to their detrimental effects on humans, animals, and crops. Although several studies have been published focusing on the biosynthesis of the aforementioned secondary metabolites, some of the molecular mechanisms (e.g., posttranslational modifications, transcription factors, transcriptome, proteomics, metabolomics and transcriptome, etc.) involved in the fungal development and aflatoxin biosynthesis in A. flavus are still not fully understood. In this study, a review of the recently published studies on the function of the genes and the molecular mechanisms involved in development of A. flavus and the production of its secondary metabolites is presented. It is hoped that the information provided in this review will help readers to develop effective strategies to reduce A. flavus infection and aflatoxin production.

Abstract
Metabolic changes that correlate to cognitive changes are well-known in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Metabolism is often linked to functional changes in proteins by post-translational modifications. The importance of the regulation of transcription by acetylation is well documented. Advanced mass spectrometry reveals hundreds of acetylated proteins in multiple tissues, but the acetylome of human brain, its functional significance, and the changes with disease are unknown. Filling this gap is critical for understanding the pathophysiology and development of therapies. To fill this gap, we assessed the human brain acetylome in human brain and its changes with AD. More than 5% of the 4,442 proteins from the human brain global proteome were acetylated. Acetylated proteins were primarily found in the cytosol (148), mitochondria (100), nucleus (91), and plasma membrane (58). The comparison of the brain acetylome in controls to that of patients with AD revealed striking and selective differences in terms of its abundances of acetylated peptides/sites. Acetylation of 18 mitochondrial proteins decreased, while acetylation of two cytosolic proteins, tau and GFAP, increased. Our experiments demonstrate that acetylation at some specific lysine sites alters enzyme function. The results indicate that general activation of de-acetylases (i.e., sirtuins) is not an appropriate therapeutic approach for AD.

Abstract
MtrA is an essential response regulator (RR) protein in M. tuberculosis, and its activity is modulated after phosphorylation from its sensor kinase MtrB. Interestingly, many regulatory effects of MtrA have been reported to be independent of its phosphorylation, thereby suggesting alternate mechanisms of regulation of the MtrAB two-component system in M. tuberculosis. Here, we show that RR MtrA undergoes non-enzymatic acetylation through acetyl phosphate, modulating its activities independent of its phosphorylation status. Acetylated MtrA shows increased phosphorylation and enhanced interaction with SK MtrB assessed by phosphotransfer assays and FRET analysis. We also observed that acetylated MtrA loses its DNA-binding ability on gene targets that are otherwise enhanced by phosphorylation. More interestingly, acetylation is the dominant post-translational modification, overriding the effect of phosphorylation. Evaluation of the impact of MtrA and its lysine mutant overexpression on the growth of H37Ra bacteria under different conditions along with the infection studies on alveolar epithelial cells further strengthens the importance of acetylated MtrA protein in regulating the growth of M. tuberculosis. Overall, we show that both acetylation and phosphorylation regulate the activities of RR MtrA on different target genomic regions. We propose here that, although phosphorylation-dependent binding of MtrA drives its repressor activity on oriC and rpf, acetylation of MtrA turns this off and facilitates division in mycobacteria. Our findings, thus, reveal a more complex regulatory role of RR proteins in which multiple post-translational modifications regulate the activities at the levels of interaction with SK and the target gene expression.

Abstract
Acetylation was initially discovered as a post-translational modification (PTM) on the unstructured, highly basic N-terminal tails of eukaryotic histones in the 1960s. Histone acetylation constitutes part of the "histone code", which regulates chromosome compaction and various DNA processes such as gene expression, recombination, and DNA replication. In bacteria, nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) are responsible these functions in that they organize and compact the chromosome and regulate some DNA processes. The highly conserved DNABII family of proteins are considered functional homologues of eukaryotic histones despite having no sequence or structural conservation. Within the past decade, a growing interest in Nε-lysine acetylation led to the discovery that hundreds of bacterial proteins are acetylated with diverse cellular functions, in direct contrast to the original thought that this was a rare phenomenon. Similarly, other previously undiscovered bacterial PTMs, like serine, threonine, and tyrosine phosphorylation, have also been characterized. In this review, the various PTMs that were discovered among DNABII family proteins, specifically histone-like protein (HU) orthologues, from large-scale proteomic studies are discussed. The functional significance of these modifications and the enzymes involved are also addressed. The discovery of novel PTMs on these proteins begs this question: is there a histone-like code in bacteria?

Abstract
Microbial CO2 fixation and conversion constitute a potential solution to both utilization of greenhouse gas or industrial waste gases and sustainable production of bulk chemicals and fuels. Autotrophic gas-fermenting bacteria play central roles in this bioprocess. This study provides new insights regarding the metabolic regulatory mechanisms underlying CO2 reduction in Clostridium ljungdahlii, a representative gas-fermenting bacterium. A critical formate dehydrogenase (FDH1) responsible for fixing CO2 and a dominant reversible lysine acetylation system, At2/Dat1, were identified. Furthermore, FDH1 was found to be interactively regulated by both the At2/Dat1 system and the global transcriptional factor CcpA, and the two regulatory systems are mutually restricted. Reconstruction of this multilevel metabolic regulatory module led to improved CO2 metabolism by C. ljungdahlii. These findings not only substantively expand our understanding but also provide a potentially useful metabolic engineering strategy for microbial carbon fixation. Protein lysine acetylation, a prevalent posttranslational modification, regulates numerous crucial biological processes in cells. Nevertheless, how lysine acetylation interacts with other types of regulation to coordinate metabolism remains largely unknown owing to the complexity of the process. Here, using a representative gas-fermenting bacterium, Clostridium ljungdahlii, we revealed a novel regulatory mechanism that employs both the lysine acetylation and transcriptional regulation systems to interactively control CO2 fixation, a key biological process for utilizing this one-carbon gas. A dominant lysine acetyltransferase/deacetylase system, At2/Dat1, was identified and found to regulate FDH1 (formate dehydrogenase responsible for CO2 fixation) activity via a crucial acetylation site (lysine-29). Notably, the global transcription factor CcpA was also shown to be regulated by At2/Dat1; in turn, CcpA could directly control At2 expression, thus indicating an unreported interaction mode between the acetylation system and transcription factors. Moreover, CcpA was observed to negatively regulate FDH1 expression, which, when combined with At2/Dat1, leads to the collaborative regulation of this enzyme. Based on this concept, we reconstructed the regulatory network related to FDH1, realizing significantly increased CO2 utilization by C. ljungdahlii.

Abstract
Bacteria evolved many strategies to survive and persist within host cells. Secretion of bacterial effectors enables bacteria not only to enter the host cell but also to manipulate host gene expression to circumvent clearance by the host immune response. Some effectors were also shown to evade the nucleus to manipulate epigenetic processes as well as transcription and mRNA procession and are therefore classified as nucleomodulins. Others were shown to interfere downstream with gene expression at the level of mRNA stability, favoring either mRNA stabilization or mRNA degradation, translation or protein stability, including mechanisms of protein activation and degradation. Finally, manipulation of innate immune signaling and nutrient supply creates a replicative niche that enables bacterial intracellular persistence and survival. In this review, we want to highlight the divergent strategies applied by intracellular bacteria to evade host immune responses through subversion of host gene expression via bacterial effectors. Since these virulence proteins mimic host cell enzymes or own novel enzymatic functions, characterizing their properties could help to understand the complex interactions between host and pathogen during infections. Additionally, these insights could propose potential targets for medical therapy.

Abstract
Protein acetylation (KAC) is a significant post-translational modification, which plays an essential role in the regulation of growth and development. Unfortunately, related studies are inadequately available in angiosperms, and to date, there is no report providing insight on the role of protein acetylation in cotton fiber development. Therefore, we first compared the lysine-acetylation proteome (acetylome) of upland cotton ovules in the early fiber development stages by using wild-type as well as its fuzzless-lintless mutant to identify the role of KAC in the fiber development. A total of 1696 proteins with 2754 acetylation sites identified with the different levels of acetylation belonging to separate subcellular compartments suggesting a large number of proteins differentially acetylated in two cotton cultivars. About 80% of the sites were predicted to localize in the cytoplasm, chloroplast, and mitochondria. Seventeen significantly enriched acetylation motifs were identified. Serine and threonine and cysteine located downstream and upstream to KAC sites. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis indicated oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid, ribosome and protein, and folate biosynthesis pathways enriched significantly. To our knowledge, this is the first report of comparative acetylome analysis to compare the wild-type as well as its fuzzless-lintless mutant acetylome data to identify the differentially acetylated proteins, which may play a significant role in cotton fiber development.

Abstract
Lysine acetylation has emerged as one of the most important post-translational modifications, regulating different biological processes. However, its regulation by lysine acetyltransferases is still unclear in most cases. Hat1 is a lysine acetyltransferase originally identified based on its ability to acetylate histones. Using an unbiased proteomics approach, we have determined how loss of Hat1 affects the mammalian acetylome. Hat1+/+ and Hat1-/- mouse embryonic fibroblast cell lines were grown in both glucose- and galactose-containing media, as Hat1 is required for growth on galactose, and Hat1-/- cells exhibit defects in mitochondrial function. Following trypsin digestion of whole cell extracts, acetylated peptides were enriched by acetyllysine affinity purification, and acetylated peptides were identified and analyzed by label-free quantitation. Comparison of the acetylome from Hat1+/+ cells grown on galactose and glucose demonstrated that there are large carbon source-dependent changes in the mammalian acetylome where the acetylation of enzymes involved in glycolysis were the most affected. Comparisons of the acetylomes from Hat1+/+ and Hat1-/- cells identified 65 proteins whose acetylation decreased by at least 2.5-fold in cells lacking Hat1. In Hat1-/- cells, acetylation of the autoregulatory loop of CBP (CREB-binding protein) was the most highly affected, decreasing by up to 20-fold. In addition to the proteins involved in chromatin structure, Hat1-dependent acetylation was also found in a number of transcriptional regulators, including p53 and mitochondrial proteins. Hat1 mitochondrial localization suggests that it may be directly involved in the acetylation of mitochondrial proteins. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD017362.

Abstract
The discovery of antibiotics such as penicillin and streptomycin marked a historic milestone in the 1940s and heralded a new era of antimicrobial therapy as the modern standard for medical treatment. Yet, even in those early days of discovery, it was noted that a small subset of cells (∼1 in 105) survived antibiotic treatment and continued to persist, leading to recurrence of chronic infection. These persisters are phenotypic variants that have modified their physiology to survive environmental stress. In this study, we have performed three transcriptomic screens to identify persistence genes that are common between three different stressor conditions. In particular, we identified genes that function in the synthesis of secondary metabolites, small molecules, and complex lipids, which are likely required to maintain the persistence state. Targeting universal persistence genes can lead to the development of clinically relevant antipersistence therapeutics for infectious disease management. Persister cells are genetically identical variants in a bacterial population that have phenotypically modified their physiology to survive environmental stress. In bacterial pathogens, persisters are able to survive antibiotic treatment and reinfect patients in a frustrating cycle of chronic infection. To better define core persistence mechanisms for therapeutics development, we performed transcriptomics analyses of Burkholderia thailandensis populations enriched for persisters via three methods: flow sorting for low proton motive force, meropenem treatment, and culture aging. Although the three persister-enriched populations generally displayed divergent gene expression profiles that reflect the multimechanistic nature of stress adaptations, there were several common gene pathways activated in two or all three populations. These include polyketide and nonribosomal peptide synthesis, Clp proteases, mobile elements, enzymes involved in lipid metabolism, and ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter systems. In particular, identification of genes that encode polyketide synthases (PKSs) and fatty acid catabolism factors indicates that generation of secondary metabolites, natural products, and complex lipids could be part of the metabolic program that governs the persistence state. We also found that loss-of-function mutations in the PKS-encoding gene locus BTH_I2366, which plays a role in biosynthesis of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, resulted in increased sensitivity to antibiotics targeting DNA replication. Furthermore, treatment of multiple bacterial pathogens with a fatty acid synthesis inhibitor, CP-640186, potentiated the efficacy of meropenem against the persister populations. Altogether, our results suggest that bacterial persisters may exhibit an outwardly dormant physiology but maintain active metabolic processes that are required to maintain persistence.

Abstract
As a recently discovered protein posttranslational modification in eukaryotes, lysine succinylation has attracted increasing interest due to its ability to regulate several critical cellular processes, including catabolism, β-oxidation, and ketogenesis. Nevertheless, understanding of the regulatory mechanisms is still at an early stage due to the lack of identified specific desuccinylases in microorganisms. Here, in the model soil bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor, we biochemically characterized a sirtuin-like protein ScCobB2 as a divergent desuccinylase. Based on it, we were able to identify a total of 673 unique succinylated sites, of which 470 sites in 317 proteins were quantified by comparing the ΔScCobB2 to the wild-type succinylome via LC-MS/MS analysis. Further analyses of the quantitative succinylome revealed that at least 114 proteins representing two major pathways, protein biosynthesis and carbon metabolism, are obviously hypersuccinylated in ΔScCobB2 cells. We experimentally examined the regulatory roles of ScCobB2 on 13 hypersuccinylated proteins, including glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, aconitate hydratase, and several ribosomal proteins, the results of which suggested a high confidence in our quantitative data. This work provided the first discovery of a specific desuccinylase in bacteria and demonstrated it has pivotal regulatory roles in multiple biological processes of S. coelicolor, laying the foundation for future research of succinylation regulation in other microorganisms.

Abstract
As a ubiquitous bacterial secondary messenger, c-di-GMP plays key regulatory roles in processes such as bacterial motility and transcription regulation. CobB is the Sir2 family protein deacetylase that controls energy metabolism, chemotaxis, and DNA supercoiling in many bacteria. Using an Escherichia coli proteome microarray, we found that c-di-GMP strongly binds to CobB. Further, protein deacetylation assays showed that c-di-GMP inhibits the activity of CobB and thereby modulates the biogenesis of acetyl-CoA. Interestingly, we also found that one of the key enzymes directly involved in c-di-GMP production, DgcZ, is a substrate of CobB. Deacetylation of DgcZ by CobB enhances its activity and thus the production of c-di-GMP. Our work establishes a novel negative feedback loop linking c-di-GMP biogenesis and CobB-mediated protein deacetylation.

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.

Abstract
Cyanobacteria are oxygenic photoautotrophs, exhibiting a cosmopolitan distribution in almost all possible environments and are significantly responsible for half of the global net primary productivity. They are well adapted to the diverse environments including harsh conditions by evolving a range of fascinating repertoires of unique biomolecules and secondary metabolites to support their growth and survival. These phototrophs are proved as excellent models for unraveling the mysteries of basic biochemical and physiological processes taking place in higher plants. Several known species of cyanobacteria have tremendous biotechnological applications in diverse fields such as biofuels, biopolymers, secondary metabolites and much more. Due to their potential biotechnological and commercial applications in various fields, there is an imperative need to engineer robust cyanobacteria in such a way that they can tolerate and acclimatize to ever-changing environmental conditions. Adaptations to stress are mainly governed by a precise gene regulation pathways resulting in the expression of novel protein/enzymes and metabolites. Despite the demand, till date few proteins/enzymes have been identified which play a potential role in improving tolerance against abiotic stresses. Therefore, it is utmost important to study environmental stress responses related to post-genomic investigations, including proteomic changes employing advanced proteomics, synthetic and structural biology workflows. In this respect, the study of stress proteomics offers exclusive advantages to scientists working on these aspects. Advancements on these fields could be helpful in dissecting, characterization and manipulation of physiological and metabolic systems of cyanobacteria to understand the stress induced proteomic responses. Till date, it remains ambiguous how cyanobacteria perceive changes in the ambient environment that lead to the stress-induced proteins thus metabolic deregulation. This review briefly describes the current major findings in the fields of proteome research on the cyanobacteria under various abiotic stresses. These findings may improve and advance the information on the role of different class of proteins associated with the mechanism(s) of stress mitigation in cyanobacteria under harsh environmental conditions.

Abstract
Eight million US adults are projected to suffer from heart failure (HF) by 2030. Of concern, 5-year mortality rates following HF diagnosis approximate 40%. Small molecule histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors have demonstrated efficacy for the treatment and reversal of HF. Historically, HDACs were studied as regulators of nucleosomal histones, in which lysine deacetylation on histone tails changed DNA-histone protein electrostatic interactions, leading to chromatin condensation and changes in gene expression. However, recent proteomics studies have demonstrated that approximately 4500 proteins can be acetylated in various tissues; the function of most of these remains unknown. This Review will focus on the nonepigenetic role for lysine acetylation in the heart, with a focus on nonepigenetic actions for HDAC inhibitors on cardiac function.

Abstract
Posttranslational modification of a protein, either alone or in combination with other modifications, can control properties of that protein, such as enzymatic activity, localization, stability, or interactions with other molecules. N-ε-Lysine acetylation is one such modification that has gained attention in recent years, with a prevalence and significance that rival those of phosphorylation. This review will discuss the current state of the field in bacteria and some of the work in archaea, focusing on both mechanisms of N-ε-lysine acetylation and methods to identify, quantify, and characterize specific acetyllysines. Bacterial N-ε-lysine acetylation depends on both enzymatic and nonenzymatic mechanisms of acetylation, and recent work has shed light into the regulation of both mechanisms. Technological advances in mass spectrometry have allowed researchers to gain insight with greater biological context by both (i) analyzing samples either with stable isotope labeling workflows or using label-free protocols and (ii) determining the true extent of acetylation on a protein population through stoichiometry measurements. Identification of acetylated lysines through these methods has led to studies that probe the biological significance of acetylation. General and diverse approaches used to determine the effect of acetylation on a specific lysine will be covered.

Abstract
Lysine acetylation is an important posttranslational modification (PTM) that regulates the function of proteins by affecting their localization, stability, binding, and enzymatic activity. Aberrant acetylation patterns have been observed in numerous diseases, most notably cancer, which has spurred the development of potential therapeutics that target acetylation pathways. Mass spectrometry (MS) has become the most adopted tool not only for the qualitative identification of acetylation sites but also for their large-scale quantification. By using heavy isotope labeling in cell culture combined with MS, it is now possible to accurately quantify newly synthesized acetyl groups and other PTMs, allowing differentiation between dynamically regulated and steady-state modifications. Here, we describe MS-based protocols to identify acetylation sites and quantify acetylation rates on both proteins in general and in the special case of histones. In the experimental approach for the former, 13C-glucose and D3-acetate are used to metabolically label protein acetylation in cells with stable isotopes, thus allowing isotope incorporation to be tracked over time. After protein extraction and digestion, acetylated peptides are enriched via immunoprecipitation and then analyzed by MS. For histones, a similar metabolic labeling approach is performed, followed by acid extraction, derivatization with propionic anhydride, and trypsin digestion prior to MS analysis. The procedures presented may be adapted to investigate acetylation dynamics in a broad range of experimental contexts, including different cell types and stimulation conditions.

Abstract
Posttranslational acetylation modifications of proteins have important consequences for cell biology, including effects on protein trafficking and cellular localization as well as on the interactions of acetylated proteins with other proteins and macromolecules such as DNA. Experiments to uncover and characterize protein acetylation events have historically been more challenging than investigating another common posttranslational modification, protein phosphorylation. More recently, high-quality antibodies that recognize acetylated lysine residues present in acetylated proteins and improved proteomic methodologies have facilitated the discovery that acetylation occurs on numerous cellular proteins and allowed characterization of the dynamics and functional effects of many acetylation events. This article summarizes some established biochemical information about how protein acetylation takes place and is regulated, in order to lay the foundation for subsequent descriptions of strategies used by our lab and others either to directly study acetylation of an individual factor or to identify groups of proteins targeted for acetylation that can then be examined in isolation.

Abstract
Approximately five million United States (U.S.) adults are diagnosed with heart failure (HF), with eight million U.S. adults projected to suffer from HF by 2030. With five-year mortality rates following HF diagnosis approximating 50%, novel therapeutic treatments are needed for HF patients. Pre-clinical animal models of HF have highlighted histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors as efficacious therapeutics that can stop and potentially reverse cardiac remodeling and dysfunction linked with HF development. HDACs remove acetyl groups from nucleosomal histones, altering DNA-histone protein electrostatic interactions in the regulation of gene expression. However, HDACs also remove acetyl groups from non-histone proteins in various tissues. Changes in histone and non-histone protein acetylation plays a key role in protein structure and function that can alter other post translational modifications (PTMs), including protein phosphorylation. Protein phosphorylation is a well described PTM that is important for cardiac signal transduction, protein activity and gene expression, yet the functional role for acetylation-phosphorylation cross-talk in the myocardium remains less clear. This review will focus on the regulation and function for acetylation-phosphorylation cross-talk in the heart, with a focus on the role for HDACs and HDAC inhibitors as regulators of acetyl-phosphorylation cross-talk in the control of cardiac function.

Abstract
Adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) serves as an energy sensor and master regulator of metabolism. In general, AMPK inhibits anabolism to minimize energy consumption and activates catabolism to increase ATP production. One of the mechanisms employed by AMPK to regulate metabolism is protein acetylation. AMPK regulates protein acetylation by at least five distinct mechanisms. First, AMPK phosphorylates and inhibits acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and thus regulates acetyl-CoA homeostasis. Since acetyl-CoA is a substrate for all lysine acetyltransferases (KATs), AMPK affects the activity of KATs by regulating the cellular level of acetyl-CoA. Second, AMPK activates histone deacetylases (HDACs) sirtuins by increasing the cellular concentration of NAD⁺, a cofactor of sirtuins. Third, AMPK inhibits class I and II HDACs by upregulating hepatic synthesis of α-hydroxybutyrate, a natural inhibitor of HDACs. Fourth, AMPK induces translocation of HDACs 4 and 5 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and thus increases histone acetylation in the nucleus. Fifth, AMPK directly phosphorylates and downregulates p300 KAT. On the other hand, protein acetylation regulates AMPK activity. Sirtuin SIRT1-mediated deacetylation of liver kinase B1 (LKB1), an upstream kinase of AMPK, activates LKB1 and AMPK. AMPK phosphorylates and inactivates ACC, thus increasing acetyl-CoA level and promoting LKB1 acetylation and inhibition. In yeast cells, acetylation of Sip2p, one of the regulatory β-subunits of the SNF1 complex, results in inhibition of SNF1. This results in activation of ACC and reduced cellular level of acetyl-CoA, which promotes deacetylation of Sip2p and activation of SNF1. Thus, in both yeast and mammalian cells, AMPK/SNF1 regulate protein acetylation and are themselves regulated by protein acetylation.

Abstract
![]()
Lysine deacetylases
(KDACs) are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis
of acyl groups from acyl-lysine residues. The recent identification
of thousands of putative acylation sites, including specific acetylation
sites, created an urgent need for biochemical methodologies aimed
at better characterizing KDAC-substrate specificity and evaluating
KDACs activity. To address this need, we utilized genetic code expansion
technology to coexpress site-specifically acylated substrates with
mammalian KDACs, and study substrate recognition and deacylase activity
in live Escherichia coli. In this system the bacterial
cell serves as a “biological test tube” in which the
incubation of a single mammalian KDAC and a potential peptide or full-length
acylated substrate transpires. We report novel deacetylation activities
of Zn2+-dependent deacetylases and sirtuins in bacteria.
We also measure the deacylation of propionyl-, butyryl-, and crotonyl-lysine,
as well as novel deacetylation of Lys310-acetylated RelA by SIRT3,
SIRT5, SIRT6, and HDAC8. This study highlights the importance of native
interactions to KDAC-substrate recognition and deacylase activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epigenetic dysregulation through ethanol (EtOH)-induced changes in DNA methylation and histone modifications has been implicated in several alcohol-related disorders such as alcoholic liver disease. EtOH metabolism in the liver results in the formation of acetate, a metabolite that can be converted to acetyl-CoA, which can then be used by histone acetyltransferases to acetylate lysine residues. EtOH metabolism in the liver can also indirectly influence lysine acetylation through NAD+ -dependent sirtuin activity that is altered due to increases in NADH. As a proof-of-concept study to determine the direct influence of hepatic EtOH metabolism on histone acetylation changes, we used heavy-labeled EtOH (13 C2 ) and mass spectrometry (MS) to site specifically characterize lysine acetylation on histone proteins. METHODS Eight-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were gavaged using a bolus dose of either 13 C2 -labeled EtOH (5 g/kg) or maltose dextrin. Blood and livers were collected at 0, 4, and 24 hours followed by histone protein enrichment and derivatization using acid extraction and propionylation, respectively. Metabolic tracing and relative quantitation of acetylated histone proteins were performed using a hybrid quadrupole-orbitrap mass spectrometer. Data were analyzed using MaxQuant, Xcalibur Qual Browser, and the Bioconductor package "mzR." The contribution of EtOH to histone acetylation was quantified using the change in relative abundance of stable isotope incorporation in acetylated peptides detected by MS. RESULTS Data show significant incorporation of the EtOH-derived 13 C2 -label into N-terminal lysine acetylation sites on histones H3 and H4 after 4 hours, with rapid turnover of labeled histone acetylation sites and return to endogenous levels at 24 hours postgavage. Moreover, site-specific selectivity was observed in regard to label incorporation into certain lysine acetylation sites as determined by tandem mass spectrometry and comparison to isotope simulations. CONCLUSIONS These data provide the first quantitative evidence of how hepatic EtOH metabolism directly influences histone lysine acetylation in a site-specific manner and may influence EtOH-induced gene expression through these transcriptionally activating chromatin marks.

Abstract
Posttranslational modification (PTM) of proteins has emerged as a major regulatory mechanism in all three domains of life. One emerging PTM is Nε-lysine acetylation-the acetylation of the epsilon amino group of lysine residues. Nε-lysine acetylation is known to regulate multiple cellular processes. In eukaryotes, it regulates chromatin structure, transcription, metabolism, signal transduction, and the cytoskeleton. Recently, multiple groups have detected Nε-lysine acetylation in diverse bacterial phyla, but no work on protein acetylation in Borrelia burgdorferi has been reported. Here, we describe a step-by-step protocol to identify Nε-lysine acetylated proteins in B. burgdorferi.

Abstract
Understanding the interplay between a plasmid and its host system is a bottleneck towards prediction of the fate of plasmid-harbouring strains in the natural environments. Here, we studied the impact of the conjugative plasmid pCAR1, involved in carbazole degradation, on the proteome of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 using SILAC method. Furthermore, we investigated two acyl lysine modifications (acetylation and succinylation) that respond to the metabolic status of the cell and are implicated in regulation of various cellular processes. The total proteome analysis revealed that the abundance of key proteins involved in metabolism, signal transduction and motility was affected by pCAR1 carriage. In total, we identified 1359 unique acetylation sites on 637 proteins and 567 unique succinylation sites on 259 proteins. Changes in the acylation status of proteins involved in metabolism and translation by pCAR1 carriage were detected. Remarkably, acylation was identified on proteins involved in important plasmid functions, including partitioning and carbazole degradation, and on nucleoid-associated proteins that play a key role in the functional interaction with the chromosome. This study provides a novel insight on the functional consequences of plasmid carriage and improves our understanding of the plasmid-host cross-talk.

Abstract
Our previous study showed that the level of glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII) protein is regulated by valproic acid, a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, through acetylation of lysine residue in the GCPII protein in human astrocytes, U-87MG. The present study further investigated which HDAC subtype is involved in the acetylation of GCPII. The results revealed that GCPII interacted with HDAC1 but not with HDAC2, HDAC3, HDAC4, HDAC5, and HDAC6. Overexpression of catalytic domain (1-56 aa)-deleted HDAC1, which poorly binds to GCPII, enhanced lysine acetylation in GCPII and increased the level of GCPII protein when compared with that of the wild-type HDAC1. Further experiments showed that HDAC1 regulated the stability of GCPII protein. These data suggest that acetylation of GCPII is facilitated by HDAC1, and the acetylated GCPII is more stable than the non-acetylated GCPII. Additional experiments using siRNA HDAC1 and by HDAC1 overexpression confirmed the role of HDAC1 in regulating the stability of GCPII protein. Further, database search of acetylation and ubiquitination sites showed four candidate lysine sites in human GCPII protein that can be both acetylated and ubiquitinylated (K207, K479, K491, and K699). Mutation (lysine residues to arginine (R)) analysis showed that in the presence of cycloheximide K479R- and K491R-hGCPII mutants were less ubiquitinylated and degraded, and decrease in the level of GCPII protein by HDAC1 was significantly blocked by K479R mutants. These data suggest that K479 is a possible site of acetylation or ubiquitination. Furthermore, the results also demonstrate that the stability of GCPII protein is regulated by HDAC1 through acetylation at the lysine 479 residue.

Abstract
Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) is an important worldwide commercial freshwater culture species. However, grass carp reovirus (GCRV) causes serious hemorrhagic disease in fingerlings and yearlings of fishes. To understand the molecular pathogenesis of host cells during GCRV infection, intensive proteomic quantification analysis of lysine acetylation in Ctenopharyngodon idella kidney (CIK) cells was performed. Using dimethylation labeling-based quantitative proteomics, 832 acetylated proteins with 1391 lysine acetylation sites were identified in response to GCRV infection, among which 792 proteins with 1323 sites were quantifiable. Bioinformatics analysis showed that differentially expressed lysine acetylated proteins are involved in diverse cellular processes and associated with multifarious functions, suggesting that extensive intracellular activities were changed upon viral infection. In addition, extensive alterations on host-protein interactions at the lysine acetylation level were also detected. Further biological experiments showed that the histone deacetylases (HDAC) inhibitor suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) could significantly suppress the GCRV replication. To our knowledge, this is the first to reveal the proteome-wide changes in host cell acetylome with aquatic virus infection. The results provided in this study laid a basis for further understanding the host response to aquareovirus infection in the post-translational modification aspect by regulating cell lysine acetylation conducive to viral replication.

Abstract
Reversible lysine acetylation is one of the most widely distributed post-translational modifications; it is involved in a variety of biological processes and can be found in all three domains of life. Acetyltransferases and deacetylases work coordinately to control levels of protein acetylation. In this work, we applied the genetic code expansion strategy to site-specifically incorporate Nε-thioacetyl-l-lysine (TAcK) as an analog of Nε-acetyl-l-lysine (AcK) into green fluorescent protein and malate dehydrogenase in Escherichia coli. We showed that TAcK could serve as an ideal functional mimic for AcK. It could also resist the bacterial sirtuin-type deacetylase CobB. Thus, genetic incorporation of TAcK as a non-deacetylatable analog of AcK into proteins will facilitate in vivo studies of protein acetylation.

Abstract
Nε-lysine acetylation represents a highly dynamic and reversibly regulated post-translational modification widespread in almost all organisms, and plays important roles for regulation of protein function in diverse metabolic pathways. However, little is known about the role of lysine acetylation in photosynthetic eukaryotic microalgae. We integrated proteomic approaches to comprehensively characterize the lysine acetylome in the model diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum In total, 2324 acetylation sites from 1220 acetylated proteins were identified, representing the largest data set of the lysine acetylome in plants to date. Almost all enzymes involved in fatty acid synthesis were found to be lysine acetylated. Six putative lysine acetylation sites were identified in a plastid-localized long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase. Site-directed mutagenesis and site-specific incorporation of N-acetyllysine in acyl-CoA synthetase show that acetylation at K407 and K425 increases its enzyme activity. Moreover, the nonenzymatically catalyzed overall hyperacetylation of acyl-CoA synthetase by acetyl-phosphate can be effectively deacetylated and reversed by a sirtuin-type NAD+-dependent deacetylase with subcellular localization of both the plastid and nucleus in Phaeodactylum This work indicates the regulation of acyl-CoA synthetase activity by site-specific lysine acetylation and highlights the potential regulation of fatty acid metabolism by lysine actetylation in the plastid of the diatom Phaeodactylum.
