Abstract
Lysine acetylation is an evolutionarily conserved and widespread post-translational modification implicated in the regulation of multiple metabolic processes, but its function remains largely unknown in plant pathogenic fungi. A comprehensive analysis combined with proteomic, molecular and cellular approaches was presented to explore the roles of cytoplasmic acetylation in Fusarium oxsysporum f.sp. lycopersici (Fol). The divergent cytoplasmic deacetylase FolSir2 was biochemically characterized, which is contributing to fungal virulence. Based on this, a total of 1752 acetylated sites in 897 proteins were identified in Fol via LC-MS/MS analysis. Further analyses of the quantitative acetylome revealed that 115 proteins representing two major pathways, translational and ribosome biogenesis, were hyperacetylated in the ∆Folsir2 strain. We experimentally examined the regulatory roles of FolSir2 on K271 deacetylation of FolGsk3, a serine/tyrosine kinase implicated in a variety of cellular functions, which was found to be crucial for the activation of FolGsk3 and thus modulated Fol pathogenicity. Cytoplasmic deacetylation by FolSir2 homologues has a similar function in Botrytis cinerea and likely other fungal pathogens. These findings reveal a conserved mechanism of silent information regulator 2-mediated cytoplasmic deacetylation that is involved in plant-fungal pathogenicity, providing a candidate target for designing broad-spectrum fungicides to control plant diseases.

Microbiol Spectr 2023; 11:e0282322. [PMID: 37347174 PMCID: PMC10434168 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.02823-22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2022] [Accepted: 05/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Lentinula edodes is one of the most widely cultivated edible mushrooms in the world. When cultivated in sawdust, the surface mycelium of L. edodes needs a long postripening stage wherein it forms a brown film (BF) by secreting and accumulating pigments. BF formation is critical for the high quality and yield of fruiting bodies. Protein lysine acetylation (KAC) is an important post-translational modification that regulates growth and development. Previous studies have shown that deacetylase levels are significantly increased during BF formation in the postripening stage of L. edodes. The aim of this study was to assess the role of protein acetylation during BF formation. To this end, we compared the acetylome of L. edodes mycelia before and after BF formation using anti-acetyl antibody-based label-free quantitative proteomics. We identified 5,613 acetylation sites in 1,991 proteins, and quantitative information was available for 4,848 of these sites in 1,815 proteins. Comparative acetylome analysis showed that the modification of 699 sites increased and that of 562 sites decreased during BF formation. Bioinformatics analysis of the differentially acetylated proteins showed significant enrichment in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and proteasome pathways. Furthermore, functional assays showed that BF formation is associated with significant changes in the activities of proteasome, citrate synthase, and isocitrate dehydrogenase. Consistent with this hypothesis, the lysine deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin (TSA) delayed autophagy and BF formation in L. edodes. Taken together, KAC and autophagy play important roles in the mycelial BF formation and postripening stage of L. edodes. IMPORTANCE Mycelial BF formation and postripening of L. edodes affects the quality and quantity of its edible fruiting bodies. In this study, we explored the role of protein KAC in this biological process, with the aim of optimizing the cultivation and yield of L. edodes.

Abstract
Lysine acetylation (Kac), a reversible PTM, plays an essential role in various biological processes, including those involving metabolic pathways, pathogen resistance, and transcription, in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. TMV, the major factor that causes the poor quality of Solanaceae crops worldwide, directly alters many metabolic processes in tobacco. However, the extent and function of Kac during TMV infection have not been determined. The validation test to detect Kac level and viral expression after TMV infection and Nicotinamide (NAM) treatment clarified that acetylation was involved in TMV infection. Furthermore, we comprehensively analyzed the changes in the proteome and acetylome of TMV-infected tobacco (Nicotiana benthamiana) seedlings via LC-MS/MS in conjunction with highly sensitive immune-affinity purification. In total, 2082 lysine-acetylated sites on 1319 proteins differentially expressed in response to TMV infection were identified. Extensive bioinformatic studies disclosed changes in acetylation of proteins engaged in cellular metabolism and biological processes. The vital influence of Kac in fatty acid degradation and alpha-linolenic acid metabolism was also revealed in TMV-infected seedlings. This study first revealed Kac information in N. benthamiana under TMV infection and expanded upon the existing landscape of acetylation in pathogen infection.

Abstract
Phytophthora sojae does not infect nonhost maize (Zea mays) but infects nonhost common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) under inoculation. Soybean seed exudates participate in mediating host resistance to P. sojae before infection. This study aims to elucidate the role of seed exudates in mediating the nonhost resistance of maize and common bean to P. sojae before infection. The behaviors of P. sojae zoospores in response to the seed exudates were determined using an assay chamber and a concave slide. The proteomes of P. sojae zoospores in response to the seed exudates were analyzed with the tandem mass tag method. The key proteins were quantitatively verified by parallel reaction monitoring. Maize seed exudates exerted a repellent effect on zoospores of P. sojae. This result explains why zoospores sense repelling signaling molecules in maize seed exudates that weaken and strongly inhibit chemotaxis signals in the phosphatidylinositol signaling pathway and arachidonic acid metabolism pathway. Common bean seed exudates did not exhibit any attraction to the zoospores because the guanine nucleotide-binding protein signaling pathway, which is responsible for transmitting chemotactic signals, had no significant change. The proteins protecting the cell membrane structure were significantly downregulated, and the early apoptosis signal glutathione was enhanced in zoospores responding to common bean seed exudates, which resulted in dissolution of the cysts. Maize and common bean seed exudates mediate part of the nonhost resistance to P. sojae via different mechanisms before infection. The immunity of maize to P. sojae is caused by the repellent effect of maize seed exudates on zoospores. Common bean seed exudates participate in mediating nonhost resistance by dissolving the cysts.

Abstract
Protein post-translational modification (PTM) is an important regulatory mechanism that plays a key role in both normal and disease states. Acetylation on lysine residues is one of the most potent PTMs owing to its critical role in cellular metabolism and regulatory processes. Identifying protein lysine acetylation (Kace) sites is a challenging task in bioinformatics. To date, several machine learning-based methods for the in silico identification of Kace sites have been developed. Of those, a few are prokaryotic species-specific. Despite their attractive advantages and performances, these methods have certain limitations. Therefore, this study proposes a novel predictor STALLION (STacking-based Predictor for ProkAryotic Lysine AcetyLatION), containing six prokaryotic species-specific models to identify Kace sites accurately. To extract crucial patterns around Kace sites, we employed 11 different encodings representing three different characteristics. Subsequently, a systematic and rigorous feature selection approach was employed to identify the optimal feature set independently for five tree-based ensemble algorithms and built their respective baseline model for each species. Finally, the predicted values from baseline models were utilized and trained with an appropriate classifier using the stacking strategy to develop STALLION. Comparative benchmarking experiments showed that STALLION significantly outperformed existing predictor on independent tests. To expedite direct accessibility to the STALLION models, a user-friendly online predictor was implemented, which is available at: http://thegleelab.org/STALLION.

Abstract
Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) play crucial roles in regulating protein function and thereby control many cellular processes and biological phenotypes in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Several recent studies illustrate how plant fungal and bacterial pathogens use these PTMs to facilitate development, stress response, and host infection. In this review, we discuss PTMs that have key roles in the biological and infection processes of plant-pathogenic fungi and bacteria. The emerging roles of PTMs during pathogen-plant interactions are highlighted. We also summarize traditional tools and emerging proteomics approaches for PTM research. These discoveries open new avenues for investigating the fundamental infection mechanisms of plant pathogens and the discovery of novel strategies for plant disease control.

Abstract
Lysine (K)-specific demethylase 2B (KDM2B) has been testified to be an oncogene in diverse cancers, which joins in mediating the carcinogenesis of cancers. Nonetheless, the function of KDM2B in colon cancer remains unexplored. The study attempted to disclose the influences of KDM2B acetylation in the progression of colon cancer. SW48 and SUN-C1 cells were transfected with Flag-KDM2B and administrated by trichostatin A and nicotinamide for 24 hr. Immunoprecipitation with a Flag antibody followed by western blot with acetyl-lysine-specific antibody was executed to detect KDM2B acetylation. The correlation between CREB binding protein (CBP) and KDM2B was then investigated. The K-R and K-Q mutants were constructed and the impacts of KDM2B on demethylation of nucleosomal substrates, p21, and puma transcription and the carcinogenesis of colon cancer were probed. CBP immediately evoked KDM2B acetylation at lysine residue 765 in colon cancer cells. Acetylation of KDM2B obviously destroyed the relevance with nucleosomes, demethylation of nucleosomal substrates, and repressed p21 and puma transcription. More important, KDM2B acetylation restrained SUN-C1 cells proliferation and colony formation, meanwhile, hindered cell migration and invasion. Beyond that, the tumor formation was repressed by KDM2B acetylation. The observations testified that CBP-triggered KDM2B acetylation accelerated the carcinogenesis of colon cancer.

Abstract
The blast disease, caused by the ascomycete Magnaporthe oryzae, poses a great threat to rice production worldwide. Increasing use of fungicides and/or blast-resistant varieties of rice (Oryza sativa) has proved to be ineffective in long-term control of blast disease under field conditions. To develop effective and durable resistance to blast, it is important to understand the cellular mechanisms underlying pathogenic development in M. oryzae. In this review, we summarize the latest research in phototropism, autophagy, nutrient and redox signaling, and intrinsic phytohormone mimics in M. oryzae for cellular and metabolic adaptation(s) during its interactions with the host plants.

Abstract
Pyricularia oryzae is the pathogen for rice blast disease, which is a devastating threat to rice production worldwide. Lysine succinylation, a newly identified post-translational modification, is associated with various cellular processes. Here, liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry combined with a high-efficiency succinyl-lysine antibody was used to identify the succinylated peptides in P. oryzae. In total, 2109 lysine succinylation sites in 714 proteins were identified. Ten conserved succinylation sequence patterns were identified, among which, K*******Ksuc, and K**Ksuc, were two most preferred ones. The frequency of lysine succinylation sites, however, greatly varied among organisms, including plants, animals, and microbes. Interestingly, the numbers of succinylation site in each protein of P. oryzae were significantly greater than that of most previous published organisms. Gene ontology and KEGG analysis showed that these succinylated peptides are associated with a wide range of cellular functions, from metabolic processes to stimuli responses. Further analyses determined that lysine succinylation occurs on several key enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and glycolysis pathway, indicating that succinylation may play important roles in the regulation of basal metabolism in P. oryzae. Furthermore, more than 40 pathogenicity-related proteins were identified as succinylated proteins, suggesting an involvement of succinylation in pathogenicity. Our results provide the first comprehensive view of the P. oryzae succinylome and may aid to find potential pathogenicity-related proteins to control the rice blast disease. Significance Plant pathogens represent a great threat to world food security, and enormous reduction in the global yield of rice was caused by P. oryzae infection. Here, the succinylated proteins in P. oryzae were identified. Furthermore, comparison of succinylation sites among various species, indicating that different degrees of succinylation may be involved in the regulation of basal metabolism. This data facilitates our understanding of the metabolic pathways and proteins that are associated with pathogenicity.
