Stacpoole PW, Dirain CO. The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex at the epigenetic crossroads of acetylation and lactylation. Mol Genet Metab 2024; 143:108540.

Abstract
The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) is remarkable for its size and structure as well as for its physiological and pathological importance. Its canonical location is in the mitochondrial matrix, where it primes the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle by decarboxylating glycolytically-derived pyruvate to acetyl-CoA. Less well appreciated is its role in helping to shape the epigenetic landscape, from early development throughout mammalian life by its ability to "moonlight" in the nucleus, with major repercussions for human healthspan and lifespan. The PDC's influence on two crucial modifiers of the epigenome, acetylation and lactylation, is the focus of this brief review.

Abstract
Sepsis is a disorder of the immune response to infection or infectious factors with high morbidity and mortality in clinical settings. The lactylation of lysine residues, fueled by lactate, plays a pivotal role in its pathophysiology. In conducting a literature review on sepsis-related research, we employed a systematic approach to ensure comprehensiveness and accuracy. Initially, we conducted an extensive literature search through the PubMed database, utilizing a range of keywords including "sepsis", "lactate", "lactylation", and "epigenetic modification". The aim was to capture the most recent research related to the pathophysiological mechanisms of sepsis, metabolic disorders, and the role of lactylation. The results of the literature review revealed a close link between sepsis and metabolic dysfunction, particularly the pivotal role of lactylation in regulating immune responses and inflammatory processes. Lactate, not only an energy metabolic byproduct produced during glycolysis, affects the activity of various proteins, including those involved in immune regulation and cell signaling, through lactylation. In the context of sepsis, changes in the levels of lactylation may be closely associated with the severity and prognosis of the disease. In summary, lactylation, as an emerging type of epigenetic modification, provides a new perspective for the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis. Future research needs to further elucidate the exact mechanisms of lactylation in sepsis and explore its potential as a therapeutic target.

Abstract
Lactate, a metabolic byproduct, has gained recognition as a highly influential signaling molecule. Lactylation, an emerging form of post-translational modification derived from lactate, plays a crucial role in numerous cellular processes such as inflammation, embryonic development, tumor proliferation, and metabolism. However, the precise molecular mechanisms through which lactylation governs these biological functions in both physiological and pathological contexts remain elusive. Hence, it is imperative to provide a comprehensive overview of lactylation in order to elucidate its significance in biological processes and establish a foundation for forthcoming investigations. This review aims to succinctly outline the process of lactylation modification and the characterization of protein lactylation across diverse organisms. Additionally, A summary of the regulatory mechanisms of lactylation in cellular processes and specific diseases is presented. Finally, this review concludes by delineating existing research gaps in lactylation and proposing primary directions for future investigations.

Abstract
There is growing evidence that lactate can have a wide range of biological impacts in addition to being a waste product of metabolism. Because of the Warburg effect, tumors generate lots of lactate, which create a tumor microenvironment (TME) with low nutrition, hypoxia, and low pH. As a result, the immunosuppressive network is established to gain immune escape potential and regulate tumor growth. Consequently, the tumor lactate pathway is emerging as a possible therapeutic target for tumor. Importantly, Zhao et al. first discovered histone lysine lactylation (Kla) in 2019, which links gene regulation to cell metabolism through dysmetabolic activity and epigenetic modifications, influencing TME and tumor development. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to explore the effects of lactate and lactylation on the TME and tumors, and provide theoretical basis for further research on potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers, with the view to providing new ideas and methods for tumor treatment and prognosis evaluation.

Abstract
Metabolic reprogramming is a typical hallmark of cancer. Enhanced glycolysis in tumor cells leads to the accumulation of lactate, which is traditionally considered metabolic waste. With the development of high-resolution liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), the lactate-derived, lysine lactylation(Kla), has been identified. Kla can alter the spatial configuration of chromatin and regulate the expression of corresponding genes. Metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic remodeling have been extensively linked. Accumulating studies have subsequently expanded the framework on the key roles of this protein translational modification (PTM) in tumors and have provided a new concept of cancer-specific regulation by Kla.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation (ADPr) is a dynamically reversible post-translational modification (PTM) driven primarily by ADP-ribosyltransferases (ADPRTs or ARTs), which have ADP-ribosyl transfer activity. ADPr modification is involved in signaling pathways, DNA damage repair, metabolism, immunity, and inflammation. In recent years, several studies have revealed that new targets or treatments for tumors, cardiovascular diseases, neuromuscular diseases and infectious diseases can be explored by regulating ADPr. Here, we review the recent research progress on ART-mediated ADP-ribosylation and the latest findings in the diagnosis and treatment of related diseases.

Abstract
As more is learned about lactate, it acts as both a product and a substrate and functions as a shuttle system between different cell populations to provide the energy for sustaining tumor growth and proliferation. Recent discoveries of protein lactylation modification mediated by lactate play an increasingly significant role in human health (e.g., neural and osteogenic differentiation and maturation) and diseases (e.g., tumors, fibrosis and inflammation, etc.). These views are critically significant and first described in detail in this review. Hence, here, we focused on a new target, protein lactylation, which may be a "double-edged sword" of human health and diseases. The main purpose of this review was to describe how protein lactylation acts in multiple physiological and pathological processes and their potential mechanisms through an in-depth summary of preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies. Our work aims to provide new ideas for treating different diseases and accelerate translation from bench to bedside.

Abstract
Among the various cell types that constitute the liver, Kupffer cells (KCs) are responsible for the elimination of gut-derived foreign products. Protein lysine acetylation (Kac) and lactylation (Kla) are dynamic and reversible post-translational modifications, and various global acylome studies have been conducted for liver and liver-derived cells. However, no such studies have been conducted on KCs. In this study, we identified 2198 Kac sites in 925 acetylated proteins and 289 Kla sites in 181 lactylated proteins in immortalized mouse KCs using global acylome technology. The subcellular distributions of proteins with Kac and Kla site modifications differed. Similarly, the specific sequence motifs surrounding acetylated or lactylated lysine residues also showed differences. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were performed to better understand the differentially expressed proteins in the studies by Kac and Kla. In the newly identified Kla, we found K82 lactylation in the high-mobility group box-1 protein in the neutrophil extracellular trap formation category using KEGG enrichment analyses. Here, we report the first proteomic survey of Kac and Kla in KCs.

Abstract
As a major product of glycolysis and a vital signaling molecule, many studies have reported the key role of lactate in tumor progression and cell fate determination. Lactylation is a newly discovered post-translational modification induced by lactate. On the one hand, lactylation introduced a new era of lactate metabolism in the tumor microenvironment (TME), and on the other hand, it provided a key breakthrough point for elucidation of the interaction between tumor metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic modification. Studies have shown that the lactylation of tumor cells, tumor stem cells and tumor-infiltrating immune cells in TME can participate in the development of cancer through downstream transcriptional regulation, and is a potential and promising tumor treatment target. This review summarized the discovery and effects of lactylation, as well as recent research on histone lactylation regulating cancer progression through reshaping TME. We also focused on new strategies to enhance anti-tumor effects via targeting lactylation. Finally, we discussed the limitations of existing studies and proposed new perspectives for future research in order to further explore lactylation targets. It may provide a new way and direction to improve tumor prognosis.

Abstract
Cell metabolism generates numerous intermediate metabolites that could serve as feedback and feed-forward regulation substances for posttranslational modification. Lactate, a metabolic product of glycolysis, has recently been conceptualized to play a pleiotropic role in shaping cell identities through metabolic rewiring and epigenetic modifications. Lactate-derived carbons, sourced from glucose, mediate the crosstalk among glycolysis, lactate, and lactylation. Furthermore, the multiple metabolic fates of lactate make it an ideal substrate for metabolic imaging in clinical application. Several studies have identified the crucial role of protein lactylation in human diseases associated with cell fate determination, embryonic development, inflammation, neoplasm, and neuropsychiatric disorders. Herein, this review will focus on the metabolic fate of lactate-derived carbon to provide useful information for further research and therapeutic approaches in human diseases. We comprehensively discuss its role in reprogramming and modification during the regulation of glycolysis, the clinical translation prospects of the hyperpolarized lactate signal, lactyl modification in human diseases, and its application with other techniques and omics.

Cell Prolif 2023; 56:e13478. [PMID: 37060186 PMCID: PMC10542650 DOI: 10.1111/cpr.13478] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2023] [Accepted: 03/31/2023] [Indexed: 04/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Lactate is not only an endpoint of glycolysis but is gradually being discovered to play the role of a universal metabolic fuel for energy via the 'lactate shuttle' moving between cells and transmitting signals. The glycolytic-dependent metabolism found in tumours and fast-growing cells has made lactate a pivotal player in energy metabolism reprogramming, which enables cells to obtain abundant energy in a short time. Moreover, lactate can provide favourable conditions for tumorigenesis by shaping the acidic tumour microenvironment, recruiting immune cells, etc. and the recently discovered lactate-induced lactylation moves even further on pro-tumorigenesis mechanisms of lactate production, circulation and utilization. As with other epigenetic modifications, lactylation can modify histone proteins to alter the spatial configuration of chromatin, affect DNA accessibility and regulate the expression of corresponding genes. What's more, the degree of lactylation is inseparable from the spatialized lactate concentration, which builds a bridge between epigenetics and metabolic reprogramming. Here, we review the important role of lactate in energy reprogramming, summarize the latest finding of lactylation in tumorigenesis and try to explore therapeutic strategies in oncotherapy that can kill two birds with one stone.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins not only exponentially increase the diversity of proteoforms, but also contribute to dynamically modulating the localization, stability, activity, and interaction of proteins. Understanding the biological consequences and functions of specific PTMs has been challenging for many reasons, including the dynamic nature of many PTMs and the technical limitations to access homogenously modified proteins. The genetic code expansion technology has emerged to provide unique approaches for studying PTMs. Through site-specific incorporation of unnatural amino acids (UAAs) bearing PTMs or their mimics into proteins, genetic code expansion allows the generation of homogenous proteins with site-specific modifications and atomic resolution both in vitro and in vivo. With this technology, various PTMs and mimics have been precisely introduced into proteins. In this review, we summarize the UAAs and approaches that have been recently developed to site-specifically install PTMs and their mimics into proteins for functional studies of PTMs.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 237:123991. [PMID: 36907293 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123991] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2022] [Revised: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/05/2023] [Indexed: 03/12/2023]
Abstract
Despite possessing a wide spectrum of biological activities, molecular targets of EGCG remain elusive and as a result, its precise mode of action is still unknown. Herein, we have developed a novel cell-permeable and Click-able bioorthogonal probe for EGCG, YnEGCG for in situ detection and identification of its interacting proteins. The strategic structural modification on YnEGCG allowed it to retain innate biological activities of EGCG (IC50 59.52 ± 1.14 μM and 9.07 ± 0.01 μM for cell viability and radical scavenging activity, respectively). Chemoproteomics profiling identified 160 direct EGCG targets, with H:L ratio ≥ 1.10 from the list of 207 proteins, including multiple new proteins that were previously unknown. The targets were broadly distributed in various subcellular compartments suggesting a polypharmacological mode of action of EGCG. GO analysis revealed that the primary targets belonged to the enzymes that regulate key metabolic processes including glycolysis and energy homeostasis, also the cytoplasm (36 %) and mitochondria (15.6 %) contain the majority of EGCG targets. Further, we validated that EGCG interactome was closely associated with apoptosis indicating its role in inducing toxicity in cancer cells. For the first time, this in situ chemoproteomics approach could identify a direct and specific EGCG interactome under physiological conditions in an unbiased manner.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common type of primary liver cancer, often metastasizes to the lungs. The implications of lysine lactylation (Kla), a recently identified histone post-translational modification (PTM), in the pathology of HCC remain unclear. Here, we report the first proteomic survey of this specific modification in HCC (with no metastasis during 3 years of follow-up), normal liver tissues, and lung metastasis samples of HCC. Of the 2045 modification sites detected on 960 proteins, 1438 sites on 772 proteins contained quantitative information. Subsequently, we analyzed the differentially modified proteins among the different groups. Differentially lactylated proteins were found to be involved in several biological processes, including-but not limited to-amino acid metabolism, ribosomal protein synthesis, and fatty acid metabolism. In addition, we identified numerous highly valuable lactate-modified proteins from the literature. Among them, we verified the lactate modification levels of the following two tumor-related proteins and obtained similar results: USP14 and ABCF1. These two modified proteins will be further investigated in our future studies. This paper is the first report on the lactylome of HCC and it provides a reliable foundation for further research on Kla in HCC.

Abstract
Metabolic reprogramming is involved in the pathogenesis of not only cancers but also neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and infectious diseases. With the progress of metabonomics and proteomics, metabolites have been found to affect protein acylations through providing acyl groups or changing the activities of acyltransferases or deacylases. Reciprocally, protein acylation is involved in key cellular processes relevant to physiology and diseases, such as protein stability, protein subcellular localization, enzyme activity, transcriptional activity, protein-protein interactions and protein-DNA interactions. Herein, we summarize the functional diversity and mechanisms of eight kinds of nonhistone protein acylations in the physiological processes and progression of several diseases. We also highlight the recent progress in the development of inhibitors for acyltransferase, deacylase, and acylation reader proteins for their potential applications in drug discovery.

Abstract
Protein acylation is a vital post-translational modification that regulates various protein functions. In particular, protein succinylation has attracted significant attention because of its potential relationship with various biological events and diseases. In this report, we establish a new method for the comprehensive detection and analysis of potentially succinylated proteins using a chemical tagging technology. The newly synthesized alkyne-containing succinyl substrate successfully labeled lysine residues of proteins through intracellular metabolic labeling independent of other acylation pathways such as protein malonylation. Furthermore, reporter molecules such as biotin moieties and fluorescent dyes were conjugated to alkyne-tagged succinylated proteins via Click reactions, permitting enrichment for proteomic analysis and fluorescence imaging of the labeled proteins. We successfully analyzed and identified numerous potential succinylated proteins associated with various biological processes using gel electrophoresis, proteomic and bioinformatic analyses, and their visualization in cells.

Abstract
Whether under anaerobic or aerobic conditions, glycolysis results in production of lactate. Increasing evidence suggests that lactate serves as a multifunctional signaling molecule that develops non-metabolic activities in addition to serving as a key metabolite to link glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation. Histone posttranslational modification patterns (HPTMs) are essential epigenetic processes controlling a variety of biological activities. Proteomics based on mass spectrometry (MS) has been used to progressively reveal new HPTMs. Recent discoveries of histone lactylation modification mediated by lactate and subsequent research demonstrating its involvement in cancer, inflammation, lung fibrosis, and other conditions suggest that it plays a significant role in immune regulation and homeostasis maintenance. This review provides a brief overview of the complicated control of histone lactylation modification in both pathological and physiological conditions.

Abstract
Lysine ε-N-L-lactylation is a newly discovered post-translational modification. Herein we present the genetic encoding of ε-N-L-lactyllysine in bacterial and mammalian cells, allowing the preparation of site-specifically ε-N-L-lactylated recombinant proteins and the construction of fluorescent and luminescent probes for detecting delactylases in living cells. Using these probes, we demonstrate sirtuin 1 as a potential delactylase for non-histone proteins.
