Abstract
Diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), including stroke, brain tumors, and neurodegenerative diseases, have a serious impact on human health worldwide, especially in elderly patients. The brain, which is one of the body's most metabolically dynamic organs, lacks fuel stores and therefore requires a continuous supply of energy substrates. Metabolic abnormalities are closely associated with the pathogenesis of CNS disorders. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are essential regulatory mechanisms that affect the functions of almost all proteins. Succinylation, a broad-spectrum dynamic PTM, primarily occurs in mitochondria and plays a crucial regulatory role in various diseases. In addition to directly affecting various metabolic cycle pathways, succinylation serves as an efficient and rapid biological regulatory mechanism that establishes a connection between metabolism and proteins, thereby influencing cellular functions in CNS diseases. This review offers a comprehensive analysis of succinylation and its implications in the pathological mechanisms of CNS diseases. The objective is to outline novel strategies and targets for the prevention and treatment of CNS conditions.

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.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) play a crucial role in protein functionality and the control of various cellular processes and secondary metabolites (SMs) in fungi. Lysine succinylation (Ksuc) is an emerging protein PTM characterized by the addition of a succinyl group to a lysine residue, which induces substantial alteration in the chemical and structural properties of the affected protein. This chemical alteration is reversible, dynamic in nature, and evolutionarily conserved. Recent investigations of numerous proteins that undergo significant succinylation have underscored the potential significance of Ksuc in various biological processes, encompassing normal physiological functions and the development of certain pathological processes and metabolites. This review aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying Ksuc and its diverse functions in fungi. Both conventional investigation techniques and predictive tools for identifying Ksuc sites were also considered. A more profound comprehension of Ksuc and its impact on the biology of fungi have the potential to unveil new insights into post-translational modification and may pave the way for innovative approaches that can be applied across various clinical contexts in the management of mycotoxins.

Abstract
Metabolic reprogramming is a common hallmark of cancers and involves alterations in many metabolic pathways during tumor initiation and progression. However, the cancer-specific modulation of metabolic reprogramming requires further elucidation. Succinylation, a newly identified protein posttranslational modification (PTM), participates in many cellular processes by transferring a succinyl group to a residue of the target protein, which is related to various pathological disorders including cancers. In recent years, there has been a gradual increase in the number of studies on the regulation of tumors by protein succinylation. Notably, accumulating evidence suggests that succinylation can mediate cancer cell metabolism by altering the structure or activity of metabolism-related proteins and plays vital roles in metabolic reprogramming. Furthermore, some antitumor drugs have been linked to succinylation-mediated tumor-associated metabolism. To better elucidate lysine succinylation mediated tumor metabolic reprogramming, this review mainly summarizes recent studies on the regulation and effects of protein succinylation in tumors, focusing on the metabolic regulation of tumorigenesis and development, which will provide new directions for cancer diagnosis as well as possible therapeutic targets.

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.

Malonylome analysis uncovers the association of lysine malonylation with metabolism and acidic stress in pathogenic Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Microbiol Res 2022; 265:127209.

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.

Engineering of succinyl-CoA metabolism in view of succinylation regulation to improve the erythromycin production. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2022; 106:5153-5165.

Abstract
As a novel protein post-translational modification (PTM), lysine succinylation is widely involved in metabolism regulation by altering the activity of catalytic enzymes. Inactivating succinyl-CoA synthetase in Saccharopolyspora erythraea HL3168 E3 was proved significantly inducing the global protein hypersuccinylation. To investigate the effects, succinylome of the mutant strain E3ΔsucC was identified by using a high-resolution mass spectrometry-based proteomics approach. PTMomics analyses suggested the important roles of succinylation on protein biosynthesis, carbon metabolism, and antibiotics biosynthesis in S. erythraea. Enzymatic experiments in vivo and in vitro were further conducted to determine the succinylation regulation in the TCA cycle. We found out that the activity of aconitase (SACE_3811) was significantly inhibited by succinylation in E3ΔsucC, which probably led to the extracellular accumulation of pyruvate and citrate during the fermentation. Enzyme structural analyses indicated that the succinylation of K278 and K373, conservative lysine residues locating around the protein binding pocket, possibly affects the activity of aconitase. To alleviate the metabolism changes caused by succinyl-CoA synthetase inactivation and protein hypersuccinylation, CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) was applied to mildly downregulate the transcription level of gene sucC in E3. The erythromycin titer of the CRISPRi mutant E3-sucC-sg1 was increased by 54.7% compared with E3, which was 1200.5 mg/L. Taken together, this work not only expands our knowledge of succinylation regulation in the TCA cycle, but also validates that CRISPRi is an efficient strategy on the metabolic engineering of S. erythraea. KEY POINTS: • We reported the first systematic profiling of the S. erythraea succinylome. • We found that the succinylation regulation on the activity of aconitase. • We enhanced the production of erythromycin by using CRISPRi to regulate the transcription of gene sucC.

Abstract
Lysine acylations are reversible and ubiquitous post-translational modifications that play critical roles in regulating multiple cellular processes. In the current study, highly abundant and dynamic acetylation, besides succinylation, was uncovered in a soil bacterium, Streptomyces coelicolor. By affinity enrichment using anti–acetyl-lysine antibody and the following LC−MS/MS analysis, a total of 1298 acetylation sites among 601 proteins were identified. Bioinformatics analyses suggested that these acetylated proteins have diverse subcellular localization and were enriched in a wide range of biological functions. Specifically, a majority of the acetylated proteins were also succinylated in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and protein translation pathways, and the bimodification occurred at the same sites in some proteins. The acetylation and succinylation sites were quantified by knocking out either the deacetylase ScCobB1 or the desuccinylase ScCobB2, demonstrating a possible competitive relationship between the two acylations. Moreover, in vitro experiments using synthetically modified peptides confirmed the regulatory crosstalk between the two sirtuins, which may be involved in the collaborative regulation of cell physiology. Collectively, these results provided global insights into the S. coelicolor acylomes and laid a foundation for characterizing the regulatory roles of the crosstalk between lysine acetylation and succinylation in the future. A highly abundant and dynamic acetylation is discovered in Streptomyces coelicolor. Quantitative acetylome and succinylome analyses in Streptomyces coelicolor. The bimodification proteins are enriched in multiple metabolic pathways.

Abstract
The enhancement of nitrogen fixation activity of diazotrophs is essential for safe crop production. Lysine succinylation (KSuc) is widely present in eukaryotes and prokaryotes and regulates various biological process. However, knowledge of the extent of KSuc in nitrogen fixation of Azotobacter chroococcum is scarce. In this study, we found that 250 mg/l of rhamnolipid (RL) significantly increased the nitrogen fixation activity of A. chroococcum by 39%, as compared with the control. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) confirmed that RL could remarkably increase the transcript levels of nifA and nifHDK genes. In addition, a global KSuc of A. chroococcum was profiled using a 4D label-free quantitative proteomic approach. In total, 5,008 KSuc sites were identified on 1,376 succinylated proteins. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the addition of RL influence on the KSuc level, and the succinylated proteins were involved in various metabolic processes, particularly enriched in oxidative phosphorylation, tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) cycle, and nitrogen metabolism. Meanwhile, multiple succinylation sites on MoFe protein (NifDK) may influence nitrogenase activity. These results would provide an experimental basis for the regulation of biological nitrogen fixation with KSuc and shed new light on the mechanistic study of nitrogen fixation.

Dong Y, Li P, Li P, Chen C. First comprehensive analysis of lysine succinylation in paper mulberry (Broussonetia papyrifera). BMC Genomics 2021; 22:255. [PMID: 33838656 PMCID: PMC8035759 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-021-07567-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2020] [Accepted: 03/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lysine succinylation is a naturally occurring post-translational modification (PTM) that is ubiquitous in organisms. Lysine succinylation plays important roles in regulating protein structure and function as well as cellular metabolism. Global lysine succinylation at the proteomic level has been identified in a variety of species; however, limited information on lysine succinylation in plant species, especially paper mulberry, is available. Paper mulberry is not only an important plant in traditional Chinese medicine, but it is also a tree species with significant economic value. Paper mulberry is found in the temperate and tropical zones of China. The present study analyzed the effects of lysine succinylation on the growth, development, and physiology of paper mulberry. RESULTS A total of 2097 lysine succinylation sites were identified in 935 proteins associated with the citric acid cycle (TCA cycle), glyoxylic acid and dicarboxylic acid metabolism, ribosomes and oxidative phosphorylation; these pathways play a role in carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms and may be regulated by lysine succinylation. The modified proteins were distributed in multiple subcellular compartments and were involved in a wide variety of biological processes, such as photosynthesis and the Calvin-Benson cycle. CONCLUSION Lysine-succinylated proteins may play key regulatory roles in metabolism, primarily in photosynthesis and oxidative phosphorylation, as well as in many other cellular processes. In addition to the large number of succinylated proteins associated with photosynthesis and oxidative phosphorylation, some proteins associated with the TCA cycle are succinylated. Our study can serve as a reference for further proteomics studies of the downstream effects of succinylation on the physiology and biochemistry of paper mulberry.

Comprehensive Succinylome Profiling Reveals the Pivotal Role of Lysine Succinylation in Energy Metabolism and Quorum Sensing of Staphylococcus epidermidis. Front Microbiol 2021; 11:632367. [PMID: 33597936 PMCID: PMC7882547 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2020.632367] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2020] [Accepted: 12/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Lysine succinylation is a newly identified posttranslational modification (PTM), which exists widely from prokaryotes to eukaryotes and participates in various cellular processes, especially in the metabolic processes. Staphylococcus epidermidis is a commensal bacterium in the skin, which attracts more attention as a pathogen, especially in immunocompromised patients and neonates by attaching to medical devices and forming biofilms. However, the significance of lysine succinylation in S. epidermidis proteins has not been investigated. Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the physiological and pathological processes of S. epidermidis at the level of PTM. Moreover, by analyzing previous succinylome datasets in various organisms, we tried to provide an in-depth understanding of lysine succinylation. Methods Using antibody affinity enrichment followed by LC-MS/MS analysis, we examined the succinylome of S. epidermidis (ATCC 12228). Then, bioinformatics analysis was performed, including Gene Ontology (GO), KEGG enrichment, motif characterization, secondary structure, protein–protein interaction, and BLAST analysis. Results A total of 1557 succinylated lysine sites in 649 proteins were identified in S. epidermidis (ATCC 12228). Among these succinylation proteins, GO annotation showed that proteins related to metabolic processes accounted for the most. KEGG pathway characterization indicated that proteins associated with the glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and citrate cycle (TCA cycle) pathway were more likely to be succinylated. Moreover, 13 conserved motifs were identified. The specific motif KsuD was conserved in model prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Succinylated proteins with this motif were highly enriched in the glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathway. One succinylation site (K144) was identified in S-ribosylhomocysteine lyase, a key enzyme in the quorum sensing system, indicating the regulatory role succinylation may play in bacterial processes. Furthermore, 15 succinyltransferases and 18 desuccinylases (erasers) were predicted in S. epidermidis by BLAST analysis. Conclusion We performed the first comprehensive profile of succinylation in S. epidermidis and illustrated the significant role succinylation may play in energy metabolism, QS system, and other bacterial behaviors. This study may be a fundamental basis to investigate the underlying mechanisms of colonization, virulence, and infection of S. epidermidis, as well as provide a new insight into regulatory effects succinylation may lay on metabolic processes (Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD022866).

Abstract
Protein post-translational modification (PTM) is a reversible process, which can dynamically regulate the metabolic state of cells through regulation of protein structure, activity, localization or protein–protein interactions. Actinomycetes are present in the soil, air and water, and their life cycle is strongly determined by environmental conditions. The complexity of variable environments urges Actinomycetes to respond quickly to external stimuli. In recent years, advances in identification and quantification of PTMs have led researchers to deepen their understanding of the functions of PTMs in physiology and metabolism, including vegetative growth, sporulation, metabolite synthesis and infectivity. On the other hand, most donor groups for PTMs come from various metabolites, suggesting a complex association network between metabolic states, PTMs and signaling pathways. Here, we review the mechanisms and functions of PTMs identified in Actinomycetes, focusing on phosphorylation, acylation and protein degradation in an attempt to summarize the recent progress of research on PTMs and their important role in bacterial cellular processes.

Abstract
Reversible lysine acetylation plays regulatory roles in diverse biological processes, including cell metabolism, gene transcription, cell apoptosis and ageing. Here, we show that lysine acetylation is involved in the regulation of chromosome segregation, a pivotal step during cell division in Streptomyces coelicolor. Specifically, deacetylation increases the DNA-binding affinity of the chromosome segregation protein ParB to the centromere-like sequence parS. Both biochemical and genetic experiments suggest that the deacetylation process is mainly modulated by a sirtuin-like deacetylase ScCobB1. The Lys-183 residue in the helix-turn-helix region of ParB is the major deacetylation site responsible for the regulation of ParB-parS binding. In-frame deletion of SccobB1 represses formation of ParB segregation complexes and leads to generation of abnormal spores. Taken together, these observations provide direct evidence that deacetylation participates in the regulation of chromosome segregation by targeting ParB in S. coelicolor.
