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

Abstract
Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) are crucial for cancer cells to adapt to hypoxia; however, the functional significance of lysine crotonylation (Kcr) in hypoxia remains unclear. Herein we report a quantitative proteomics analysis of global crotonylome under normoxia and hypoxia, and demonstrate 128 Kcr site alterations across 101 proteins in MDA-MB231 cells. Specifically, we observe a significant decrease in K131cr, K156cr and K220cr of phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1) upon hypoxia. Enoyl-CoA hydratase 1 (ECHS1) is upregulated and interacts with PGK1, leading to the downregulation of PGK1 Kcr under hypoxia. Abolishment of PGK1 Kcr promotes glycolysis and suppresses mitochondrial pyruvate metabolism by activating pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 (PDHK1). A low PGK1 K131cr level is correlated with malignancy and poor prognosis of breast cancer. Our findings show that PGK1 Kcr is a signal in coordinating glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and may serve as a diagnostic indicator for breast cancer.

Abstract
Pan-vascular diseases, based on systems biology theory, explore the commonalities and individualities of important target organs such as cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and peripheral blood vessels, starting from the systemic and holistic aspects of vascular diseases. The purpose is to understand the interrelationships and results between them, achieve vascular health or sub-health, and comprehensively improve the physical and mental health of the entire population. Post-translational modification (PTM) is an important part of epigenetics, including phosphorylation, acetylation, ubiquitination, methylation, etc., playing a crucial role in the pan-vascular system. Crotonylation is a novel type of PTM that has made significant progress in the research of pan-vascular related diseases in recent years. Based on the review of previous studies, this article summarises the various regulatory factors of crotonylation, physiological functions and the mechanisms of histone and non-histone crotonylation in regulating pan-vascular related diseases to explore the possibility of precise regulation of crotonylation sites as potential targets for disease treatment and the value of clinical translation.

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

Abstract
Histone lysine crotonylation (Kcr), as a posttranslational modification, is widespread as acetylation (Kac); however, its roles are largely unknown in kidney fibrosis. In this study, we report that histone Kcr of tubular epithelial cells is abnormally elevated in fibrotic kidneys. By screening these crotonylated/acetylated factors, a crotonyl-CoA-producing enzyme ACSS2 (acyl-CoA synthetase short chain family member 2) is found to remarkably increase histone 3 lysine 9 crotonylation (H3K9cr) level without influencing H3K9ac in kidneys and tubular epithelial cells. The integrated analysis of ChIP-seq and RNA-seq of fibrotic kidneys reveal that the hub proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β, which is regulated by H3K9cr, play crucial roles in fibrogenesis. Furthermore, genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of ACSS2 both suppress H3K9cr-mediated IL-1β expression, which thereby alleviate IL-1β-dependent macrophage activation and tubular cell senescence to delay renal fibrosis. Collectively, our findings uncover that H3K9cr exerts a critical, previously unrecognized role in kidney fibrosis, where ACSS2 represents an attractive drug target to slow fibrotic kidney disease progression.

Abstract
Over 400 different types of post-translational modifications (PTMs) have been reported and over 200 various types of PTMs have been discovered using mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics. MS-based proteomics has proven to be a powerful method capable of global PTM mapping with the identification of modified proteins/peptides, the localization of PTM sites and PTM quantitation. PTMs play regulatory roles in protein functions, activities and interactions in various heart related diseases, such as ischemia/reperfusion injury, cardiomyopathy and heart failure. The recognition of PTMs that are specific to cardiovascular pathology and the clarification of the mechanisms underlying these PTMs at molecular levels are crucial for discovery of novel biomarkers and application in a clinical setting. With sensitive MS instrumentation and novel biostatistical methods for precise processing of the data, low-abundance PTMs can be successfully detected and the beneficial or unfavorable effects of specific PTMs on cardiac function can be determined. Moreover, computational proteomic strategies that can predict PTM sites based on MS data have gained an increasing interest and can contribute to characterization of PTM profiles in cardiovascular disorders. More recently, machine learning- and deep learning-based methods have been employed to predict the locations of PTMs and explore PTM crosstalk. In this review article, the types of PTMs are briefly overviewed, approaches for PTM identification/quantitation in MS-based proteomics are discussed and recently published proteomic studies on PTMs associated with cardiovascular diseases are included.

Abstract
Lysine acylation, a type of posttranslational protein modification sensitive to cellular metabolic states, influences the functions of target proteins involved in diverse cellular processes. Particularly, lysine butyrylation, crotonylation, β-hydroxybutyrylation, and 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation, four types of four-carbon acylations, are modulated by intracellular concentrations of their respective acyl-CoAs and sensitive to alterations of nutrient metabolism induced by cellular and/or environmental signals. In this review, we discussed the metabolic pathways producing these four-carbon acyl-CoAs, the regulation of lysine acylation and deacylation, and the functions of individual lysine acylation.

Abstract
RNA splicing is an important RNA processing step required by multiexon protein-coding mRNAs and some noncoding RNAs. Precise RNA splicing is required for maintaining gene and cell function; however, mis-spliced RNA transcripts can lead to loss- or gain-of-function effects in human diseases. Mis-spliced RNAs induced by gene mutations or the dysregulation of splicing regulators may result in frameshifts, nonsense-mediated decay (NMD), or inclusion/exclusion of exons. Genetic animal models have characterised multiple splicing factors required for cardiac development or function. Moreover, sarcomeric and ion channel genes, which are closely associated with cardiovascular function and disease, are hotspots for AS. Here, we summarise splicing factors and their targets that are associated with cardiovascular diseases, introduce some therapies potentially related to pathological AS targets, and raise outstanding questions and future directions in this field.

Abstract
Histone lysine crotonylation (Kcr) is a new acylation modification first discovered in 2011, which has important biological significance for gene expression, cell development, and disease treatment. In the past over ten years, numerous signs of progress have been made in the research on the biochemistry of Kcr modification, especially a series of Kcr modification-related "reader", "eraser", and "writer" enzyme systems are identified. The physiological function of crotonylation and its correlation with development, heredity, and spermatogenesis have been paid more and more attention. However, the development of disease is usually associated with abnormal Kcr modification. In this review, we summarized the identification of crotonylation modification, Kcr-related enzyme system, biological functions, and diseases caused by abnormal Kcr. This knowledge supplies a theoretical basis for further exploring the function of crotonylation in the future.

Global crotonylome identifies EP300-regulated ANXA2 crotonylation in cumulus cells as a regulator of oocyte maturation. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 259:129149. [PMID: 38176486 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.129149] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2023] [Revised: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024]
Abstract
Lysine crotonylation (Kcr), a newly discovered post-translational modification, played a crucial role in physiology and disease progression. However, the roles of crotonylation in oocyte meiotic resumption remain elusive. As abnormal cumulus cell development will cause oocyte maturation arrest and female infertility, we report that cumulus cells surrounding human meiotic arrested oocytes showed significantly lower crotonylation, which was associated with decreased EP300 expression and blocked cumulus cell expansion. In cultured human cumulus cells, exogenous crotonylation or EP300 activator promoted cell proliferation and reduced cell apoptosis, whereas EP300 knockdown induced the opposite effect. Transcriptome profiling analysis in human cumulus cells indicated that functions of crotonylation were associated with activation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway. Importantly, we characterized the Kcr proteomics landscape in cumulus cells by LC-MS/MS analysis, and identified that annexin A2 (ANXA2) was crotonylated in cumulus cells in an EP300-dependent manner. Crotonylation of ANXA2 enhanced the ANXA2-EGFR binding, and then activated the EGFR pathway to affect cumulus cell proliferation and apoptosis. Using mouse oocytes IVM model and EP300 knockout mice, we further confirmed that crotonylation alteration in cumulus cells affected the oocyte maturation. Together, our results indicated that EP300-mediated crotonylation is important for cumulus cells functions and oocyte maturation.

Qualitative Proteome-wide Lysine Crotonylation Profiling Reveals Protein Modification Alteration in the Leukocyte Extravasation Pathway in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:44905-44919. [PMID: 38046296 PMCID: PMC10688171 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c06293] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Revised: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a severe systemic autoimmune disease with multiple manifestations. Lysine crotonylation (Kcr) is a newly discovered posttranslational modification epigenetic pattern that may affect gene expression and is linked to diseases causally. METHODS We collected blood samples from 11 SLE individuals and 36 healthy subjects. Then, we used highly sensitive liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry technology to carry out proteomics and quantitative crotonylome analysis of SLE peripheral blood mononuclear cells in this investigation, which indicated the unique etiology of SLE. Finally, we verified the expression of critical protein in the leukocyte extravasation pathway by online database analysis and Western blot. RESULTS There were 618 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs), and 612 crotonylated lysine sites for 272 differentially modified proteins (DMPs) found. These DEPs and DMPs are primarily enriched in the leukocyte extravasation signaling pathway, such as MMP8, MMP9, and ITGAM. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study of crotonylated modification proteomics in SLE. The leukocyte extravasation signaling pathway had a considerable concentration of DEPs and DMPs, indicating that this pathway may be involved in the pathogenic development of SLE.

Abstract
In mammal adolescence, cardiomyocytes rapidly exit the cell cycle, and heart regeneration in adults is limited after cardiac injury. Recent work by Li et al. in Nature revealed that inhibition of fatty acid oxidation can rewire cell metabolism and lead to epigenetic reprogramming of cardiomyocytes to an immature state that facilitates cardiomyocyte cell-cycle reentry and heart regeneration in adult animals.

Abstract
Aging is widely accepted as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), which contributes to increasing morbidity and mortality in the elderly population. Lysine β-hydroxybutyrylation (Kbhb) is a novel post-translational modification (PTM), wherein β-hydroxybutyrate is covalently attached to lysine ε-amino groups. Recent studies have revealed that histone Kbhb contributes to tumor progression, diabetic cardiomyopathy progression, and postnatal heart development. However, no studies have yet reported a global analysis of Kbhb proteins in aging hearts or elucidated the mechanisms underlying this modification in the process. Herein, we conducted quantitative proteomics and Kbhb PTM omics to comprehensively elucidate the alterations of global proteome and Kbhb modification in the hearts of aged mice. The results revealed a decline in grip strength and cardiac diastolic function in 22-month-old aged mice compared to 3-month-old young mice. High-throughput liquid chromatogram-mass spectrometry analysis identified 1710 β-hydroxybutyrylated lysine sites in 641 proteins in the cardiac tissue of young and aged mice. Additionally, 183 Kbhb sites identified in 134 proteins exhibited significant differential modification in aged hearts (fold change (FC) > 1.5 or <1/1.5, p < 0.05). Notably, the Kbhb-modified proteins were primarily detected in energy metabolism pathways, such as fatty acid elongation, glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, tricarboxylic acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Furthermore, these Kbhb-modified proteins were predominantly localized in the mitochondria. The present study, for the first time, provides a global proteomic profile and Kbhb modification landscape of cardiomyocytes in aged hearts. These findings put forth novel possibilities for treating cardiac aging and aging-related CVDs by reversing abnormal Kbhb modifications.

Abstract
Sepsis is a major life-threatening syndrome of organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response due to infection. Dysregulated immunometabolism is fundamental to the onset of sepsis. Particularly, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are gut microbes derived metabolites serving to drive the communication between gut microbes and the immune system, thereby exerting a profound influence on the pathophysiology of sepsis. Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) have emerged as key players in shaping protein function, offering novel insights into the intricate connections between metabolism and phenotype regulation that characterize sepsis. Accumulating evidence from recent studies suggests that SCFAs can mediate various PTM-dependent mechanisms, modulating protein activity and influencing cellular signaling events in sepsis. This comprehensive review discusses the roles of SCFAs metabolism in sepsis associated inflammatory and immunosuppressive disorders while highlights recent advancements in SCFAs-mediated lysine acylation modifications, such as substrate supplement and enzyme regulation, which may provide new pharmacological targets for the treatment of sepsis.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure, coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, aneurysm, thrombosis, and hypertension, are a great economic burden and threat to human health and are the major cause of death worldwide. Recently, researchers have begun to appreciate the role of microbial ecosystems within the human body in contributing to metabolic and cardiovascular disorders. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that the gut microbiota is closely associated with the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases. The gut microbiota functions as an endocrine organ that secretes bioactive metabolites that participate in the maintenance of cardiovascular homeostasis, and their dysfunction can directly influence the progression of cardiovascular disease. This review summarizes the current literature demonstrating the role of the gut microbiota in the development of cardiovascular diseases. We also highlight the mechanism by which well-documented gut microbiota-derived metabolites, especially trimethylamine N-oxide, short-chain fatty acids, and phenylacetylglutamine, promote or inhibit the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. We also discuss the therapeutic potential of altering the gut microbiota and microbiota-derived metabolites to improve or prevent cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent reproductive endocrine disorder, with metabolic abnormalities and ovulation disorders. The post-translational modifications (PTMs) are functionally relevant and strengthen the link between metabolism and cellular functions. Lysine crotonylation is a newly identified PTM, the function of which in PCOS has not yet been reported. To explore the molecular mechanisms of crotonylation involved in the abnormalities of metabolic homeostasis and oocyte maturation in PCOS, by using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis, we constructed a comprehensive map of crotonylation modifications in ovarian tissue of PCOS-like mouse model established by dehydroepiandrosterone induction. The crotonylation levels of proteins involved in metabolic processes were significantly decreased in PCOS ovaries compared to control samples. Further investigation showed that decrotonylation of Lon protease 1 (LONP1) at lysine 390 was associated with mitochondrial dysfunction in PCOS. Moreover, LONP1 crotonylation levels in PCOS were correlated with ovarian tissue oxidative stress levels, androgen levels, and oocyte development. Consistently, down-regulation of LONP1 and LONP1 crotonylation levels were also observed in the blood samples of PCOS patients. Collectively, our study revealed a mechanism by which the decrotonylation of LONP1 may attenuate its activity and alter follicular microenvironment to affect oocyte maturation in PCOS.

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

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) such as atherosclerosis, myocardial remodeling, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, heart failure, and oxidative stress are among the greatest threats to human health worldwide. Cardiovascular pathogenesis has been studied for decades, and the influence of epigenetic changes on CVDs has been extensively studied. Post-translational modifications (PTMs), including phosphorylation, glycosylation, methylation, acetylation, ubiquitination, ubiquitin-like and nitrification, play important roles in the normal functioning of the cardiovascular system. Over the past decade, with the application of high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS), an increasing number novel acylation modifications have been discovered, including propionylation, crotonylation, butyrylation, succinylation, lactylation, and isonicotinylation. Each change in protein conformation has the potential to alter protein function and lead to CVDs, and this process is usually reversible. This article summarizes the mechanisms underlying several common PTMs involved in the occurrence and development of CVDs.

Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) are important regulators of protein functions and produce proteome complexity. SIRT1 has NAD+-dependent deacylation of acyl-lysine residues. The present study aimed to explore the correlation between lysine crotonylation (Kcr) on cardiac function and rhythm in Sirt1 cardiac-specific knockout (ScKO) mice and related mechanism. Quantitative proteomics and bioinformatics analysis of Kcr were performed in the heart tissue of ScKO mice established with a tamoxifen-inducible Cre-loxP system. The expression and enzyme activity of crotonylated protein were assessed by western blot, co-immunoprecipitation, and cell biology experiment. Echocardiography and electrophysiology were performed to investigate the influence of decrotonylation on cardiac function and rhythm in ScKO mice. The Kcr of SERCA2a was significantly increased on Lys120 (1.973 folds). The activity of SERCA2a decreased due to lower binding energy of crotonylated SERCA2a and ATP. Changes in expression of PPAR-related proteins suggest abnormal energy metabolism in the heart. ScKO mice had cardiac hypertrophy, impaired cardiac function, and abnormal ultrastructure and electrophysiological activities. We conclude that knockout of SIRT1 alters the ultrastructure of cardiac myocytes, induces cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction, causes arrhythmia, and changes energy metabolism by regulating Kcr of SERCA2a. These findings provide new insight into the role of PTMs in heart diseases.

Sirtuin 2 deficiency aggravates ageing-induced vascular remodelling in humans and mice. Eur Heart J 2023:ehad381. [PMID: 37377116 PMCID: PMC10393077 DOI: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehad381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2022] [Revised: 04/21/2023] [Accepted: 05/09/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS The mechanisms underlying ageing-induced vascular remodelling remain unclear. This study investigates the role and underlying mechanisms of the cytoplasmic deacetylase sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) in ageing-induced vascular remodelling. METHODS AND RESULTS Transcriptome and quantitative real-time PCR data were used to analyse sirtuin expression. Young and old wild-type and Sirt2 knockout mice were used to explore vascular function and pathological remodelling. RNA-seq, histochemical staining, and biochemical assays were used to evaluate the effects of Sirt2 knockout on the vascular transcriptome and pathological remodelling and explore the underlying biochemical mechanisms. Among the sirtuins, SIRT2 had the highest levels in human and mouse aortas. Sirtuin 2 activity was reduced in aged aortas, and loss of SIRT2 accelerated vascular ageing. In old mice, SIRT2 deficiency aggravated ageing-induced arterial stiffness and constriction-relaxation dysfunction, accompanied by aortic remodelling (thickened vascular medial layers, breakage of elastin fibres, collagen deposition, and inflammation). Transcriptome and biochemical analyses revealed that the ageing-controlling protein p66Shc and metabolism of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mROS) contributed to SIRT2 function in vascular ageing. Sirtuin 2 repressed p66Shc activation and mROS production by deacetylating p66Shc at lysine 81. Elimination of reactive oxygen species by MnTBAP repressed the SIRT2 deficiency-mediated aggravation of vascular remodelling and dysfunction in angiotensin II-challenged and aged mice. The SIRT2 coexpression module in aortas was reduced with ageing across species and was a significant predictor of age-related aortic diseases in humans. CONCLUSION The deacetylase SIRT2 is a response to ageing that delays vascular ageing, and the cytoplasm-mitochondria axis (SIRT2-p66Shc-mROS) is important for vascular ageing. Therefore, SIRT2 may serve as a potential therapeutic target for vascular rejuvenation.

Abstract
Cardiac fibrosis is a common pathophysiological remodeling process that occurs in a variety of cardiovascular diseases and greatly influences heart structure and function, progressively leading to the development of heart failure. However, to date, few effective therapies for cardiac fibrosis exist. Abnormal proliferation, differentiation, and migration of cardiac fibroblasts are responsible for the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix in the myocardium. Acetylation, a widespread and reversible protein post-translational modification, plays an important role in the development of cardiac fibrosis by adding acetyl groups to lysine residues. Many acetyltransferases and deacetylases regulate the dynamic alterations of acetylation in cardiac fibrosis, regulating a range of pathogenic conditions including oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and energy metabolism disturbance. In this review, we demonstrate the critical roles that acetylation modifications caused by different types of pathological injury play in cardiac fibrosis. Furthermore, we propose therapeutic acetylation-targeting strategies for the prevention and treatment of patients with cardiac fibrosis.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 455:131540. [PMID: 37167869 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131540] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2022] [Revised: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
Homologous recombination (HR) during early oogenesis repairs programmed double-strand breaks (DSBs) to ensure female fertility and offspring health. The exposure of fetal ovaries to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can cause reproductive disorders in the adulthood. The EDC dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is widely distributed in flexible plastic products, leading to ubiquitous human exposure. Here, we report that maternal exposure to DBP caused gross aberrations in meiotic prophase I of fetal oocytes, including delayed progression, impaired DNA damage response, uncoupled localization of DMC1 and RAD51, and decreased HR. However, programmed DSBs were efficiently repaired. DBP exposure negatively regulated lysine crotonylation (Kcr) of MSH6. Similar meiotic defects were observed in fetal ovaries with targeted disruption of Msh6, and mutation of K544cr of MSH6 impaired its association with Ku70, thereby promoting non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and inhibiting HR. Unlike mature F1 females, F2 female mice exhibited premature follicular activation, precocious puberty, and anxiety-like behaviors. Therefore, DBP can influence early meiotic events, and Kcr of MSH6 may regulate preferential induction of HR or NHEJ for DNA repair during meiosis.

Abstract
Aging biomarkers are a combination of biological parameters to (i) assess age-related changes, (ii) track the physiological aging process, and (iii) predict the transition into a pathological status. Although a broad spectrum of aging biomarkers has been developed, their potential uses and limitations remain poorly characterized. An immediate goal of biomarkers is to help us answer the following three fundamental questions in aging research: How old are we? Why do we get old? And how can we age slower? This review aims to address this need. Here, we summarize our current knowledge of biomarkers developed for cellular, organ, and organismal levels of aging, comprising six pillars: physiological characteristics, medical imaging, histological features, cellular alterations, molecular changes, and secretory factors. To fulfill all these requisites, we propose that aging biomarkers should qualify for being specific, systemic, and clinically relevant.

Lysine catabolism reprograms tumour immunity through histone crotonylation. Nature 2023; 617:818-826. [PMID: 37198486 PMCID: PMC11089809 DOI: 10.1038/s41586-023-06061-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 35.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2022] [Accepted: 04/06/2023] [Indexed: 05/19/2023]
Abstract
Cancer cells rewire metabolism to favour the generation of specialized metabolites that support tumour growth and reshape the tumour microenvironment1,2. Lysine functions as a biosynthetic molecule, energy source and antioxidant3-5, but little is known about its pathological role in cancer. Here we show that glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) reprogram lysine catabolism through the upregulation of lysine transporter SLC7A2 and crotonyl-coenzyme A (crotonyl-CoA)-producing enzyme glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH) with downregulation of the crotonyl-CoA hydratase enoyl-CoA hydratase short chain 1 (ECHS1), leading to accumulation of intracellular crotonyl-CoA and histone H4 lysine crotonylation. A reduction in histone lysine crotonylation by either genetic manipulation or lysine restriction impaired tumour growth. In the nucleus, GCDH interacts with the crotonyltransferase CBP to promote histone lysine crotonylation. Loss of histone lysine crotonylation promotes immunogenic cytosolic double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and dsDNA generation through enhanced H3K27ac, which stimulates the RNA sensor MDA5 and DNA sensor cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) to boost type I interferon signalling, leading to compromised GSC tumorigenic potential and elevated CD8+ T cell infiltration. A lysine-restricted diet synergized with MYC inhibition or anti-PD-1 therapy to slow tumour growth. Collectively, GSCs co-opt lysine uptake and degradation to shunt the production of crotonyl-CoA, remodelling the chromatin landscape to evade interferon-induced intrinsic effects on GSC maintenance and extrinsic effects on immune response.

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
Metabolism regulates cardiovascular biology through multiple mechanisms, including epigenetic modifications. Over the past two decades, experimental and preclinical studies have highlighted the critical roles of histone modifications in cardiovascular development, homeostasis, and diseases. The widely studied histone acetylation is critical in cardiovascular biology and diseases, and inhibitors of histone deacetylases show therapeutic values. In addition to lysine acetylation, a series of novel non-acetyl lysine acylations have recently been recognized. These non-acetyl lysine acylations have been demonstrated to have physiological and pathological functions, and recent studies have analyzed the roles of these non-acetyl lysine acylations in cardiovascular biology. Herein, we review the current advances in the understanding of non-acetyl lysine acylations in cardiovascular biology and discuss open questions and translational perspectives. These new pieces of evidence provide a more extensive insight into the epigenetic mechanisms underlying cardiovascular biology and help assess the feasibility of targeting acylations to treat cardiovascular diseases.

Nuclear Condensation of CDYL Links Histone Crotonylation and Cystogenesis in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease. J Am Soc Nephrol 2022; 33:1708-1725. [PMID: 35918147 PMCID: PMC9529191 DOI: 10.1681/asn.2021111425] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2021] [Accepted: 05/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Emerging evidence indicates that epigenetic modulation of gene expression plays a key role in the progression of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). However, the molecular basis for how the altered epigenome modulates transcriptional responses, and thereby disease progression in ADPKD, remains largely unknown. METHODS Kidneys from control and ADPKD mice were examined for the expression of CDYL and histone acylations. CDYL expression and its correlation with disease severity were analyzed in a cohort of patients with ADPKD. Cdyl transgenic mice were crossed with Pkd1 knockout mice to explore CDYL's role in ADPKD progression. Integrated cistromic and transcriptomic analyses were performed to identify direct CDYL target genes. High-sensitivity mass spectrometry analyses were undertaken to characterize CDYL-regulated histone lysine crotonylations (Kcr). Biochemical analysis and zebrafish models were used for investigating CDYL phase separation. RESULTS CDYL was downregulated in ADPKD kidneys, accompanied by an increase of histone Kcr. Genetic overexpression of Cdyl reduced histone Kcr and slowed cyst growth. We identified CDYL-regulated cyst-associated genes, whose downregulation depended on CDYL-mediated suppression of histone Kcr. CDYL assembled nuclear condensates through liquid-liquid phase separation in cultured kidney epithelial cells and in normal kidney tissues. The phase-separating capacity of CDYL was required for efficient suppression of locus-specific histone Kcr, of expression of its target genes, and of cyst growth. CONCLUSIONS These results elucidate a mechanism by which CDYL nuclear condensation links histone Kcr to transcriptional responses and cystogenesis in ADPKD.

Abstract
Aims Metabolic switching during heart development contributes to postnatal cardiomyocyte (CM) cell cycle exit and loss of regenerative capacity in the mammalian heart. Metabolic control has potential for developing effective CM proliferation strategies. We sought to determine whether lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) regulated CM proliferation by inducing metabolic reprogramming. Methods and results LDHA expression was high in P1 hearts and significantly decreased during postnatal heart development. CM-specific LDHA knockout mice were generated using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. CM-specific LDHA knockout inhibited CM proliferation, leading to worse cardiac function and a lower survival rate in the neonatal apical resection model. In contrast, CM-specific overexpression of LDHA promoted CM proliferation and cardiac repair post-MI. The α-MHC-H2B-mCh/CAG-eGFP-anillin system was used to confirm the proliferative effect triggered by LDHA on P7 CMs and adult hearts. Metabolomics, proteomics and Co-IP experiments indicated that LDHA-mediated succinyl coenzyme A reduction inhibited succinylation-dependent ubiquitination of thioredoxin reductase 1 (Txnrd1), which alleviated ROS and thereby promoted CM proliferation. In addition, flow cytometry and western blotting showed that LDHA-driven lactate production created a beneficial cardiac regenerative microenvironment by inducing M2 macrophage polarization. Conclusions LDHA-mediated metabolic reprogramming promoted CM proliferation by alleviating ROS and inducing M2 macrophage polarization, indicating that LDHA might be an effective target for promoting cardiac repair post-MI. Succinylation-dependent ubiquitination of Txnrd1 is a new mechanism involved in LDHA-mediated ROS alleviation during cardiomyocyte proliferation. LDHA-driven lactate production created a beneficial cardiac regenerative microenvironment by inducing M2 macrophage polarization. LDHA-mediated metabolic reprogramming promoted cardiomyocyte proliferation, indicating that LDHA might be a therapeutic target to promote cardiac repair post-MI.

Abstract
Lysine crotonylation is a recently discovered post-translation modification involved in transcription regulation, cell signal transduction, and other processes. Scientists have identified several crotonylases and decrotonylases of histones, including P300/CBP, HDACs, and SIRTs. However, the regulation of non-histone protein crotonylation remains unclear. In the current study, we verified that crotonylation was upregulated in hypoxia and promoted liver cancer cell growth. We performed TMT-labeled quantitative lysine crotonylome analysis in 12 pairs of hepatocellular carcinoma and adjacent liver tissue and identified 3,793 lysine crotonylation sites in 1,428 proteins. We showed that crotonylation of lamin A at the site of K265/270 maintains its subcellular position, promotes liver cancer cell proliferation, and prevents cellular senescence. Our data indicate that HDAC6 is the decrotonylase of lamin A and downregulated in response to hypoxia, resulting in lamin A K265/270cr. Taken together, our study reveals the lamin A crotonylation in liver cancer progression and fills the research gap in non-histone protein crotonylation function.

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

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Metabolites such as crotonyl-CoA and lactyl-CoA influence gene expression by covalently modifying histones, known as histone lysine crotonylation (Kcr) and lysine lactylation (Kla). However, the existence patterns, dynamic changes, biological functions and associations of these modifications with histone lysine acetylation and gene expression during mammalian development remain largely unknown. Here, we find that histone Kcr and Kla are widely distributed in the brain and undergo global changes during neural development. By profiling the genome-wide dynamics of H3K9ac, H3K9cr and H3K18la in combination with ATAC and RNA sequencing, we reveal that these marks are tightly correlated with chromatin state and gene expression, and extensively involved in transcriptome remodeling to promote cell-fate transitions in the developing telencephalon. Importantly, we demonstrate that global Kcr and Kla levels are not the consequence of transcription and identify the histone deacetylases (HDACs) 1-3 as novel ‘erasers’ of H3K18la. Using P19 cells as an induced neural differentiation system, we find that HDAC1-3 inhibition by MS-275 pre-activates neuronal transcriptional programs by stimulating multiple histone lysine acylations simultaneously. These findings suggest that histone Kcr and Kla play crucial roles in the epigenetic regulation of neural development.

Abstract
Aging is a key risk factor for angiogenic dysfunction and cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure, hypertension, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and stroke. Members of the NAD+-dependent class III histone deacetylase family, sirtuins, are conserved regulators of aging and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The sirtuin SIRT6 is predominantly located in the nucleus and shows deacetylase activity for acetylated histone 3 lysine 56 and lysine 9 as well as for some non-histone proteins. Over the past decade, experimental analyses in rodents and non-human primates have demonstrated the critical role of SIRT6 in extending lifespan. Recent studies highlighted the pleiotropic protective actions of SIRT6 in angiogenesis and cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, hypertension, heart failure, and stroke. Mechanistically, SIRT6 participates in vascular diseases via epigenetic regulation of endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, and immune cells. Importantly, SIRT6 activators (e.g., MDL-800/MDL-811) have provided therapeutic value for treating age-related vascular disorders. Here, we summarized the roles of sirtuins in cardiovascular diseases; reviewed recent advances in the understanding of SIRT6 in vascular biology, cardiovascular aging, and diseases; highlighted its therapeutic potential; and discussed future perspectives.

Abstract
Background Liver fibrosis is an independent contributor of chronic liver diseases, and regressing liver fibrosis is considered a potential therapeutic target for chronic liver diseases. We aimed to explore the effects and mechanism of sorafenib in liver fibrosis. Methods Male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were subjected to subcutaneous injection of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) for 8 weeks to induce liver fibrosis and then treated with sorafenib. The degree of liver fibrosis was analyzed by hematoxylin–eosin (H&E) staining, Masson staining, and Picrosirius red (PSR) staining. Serum biochemical indexes were detected by fully automatic biochemical analyzer or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to detect the expression of pro-fibrotic genes. Immunohistochemical staining and Western blotting were carried out to evaluate the levels of lysine crotonylation. Results Liver index was reduced with oral sorafenib in CCl4-induced rats. Serum liver function (alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and total bilirubin (TBIL)) and fibrosis indicators (type III procollagen (PC-III), hyaluronic acid (HA), and laminin (LN)) were attenuated with sorafenib treatment. Sorafenib improved the hepatic structure and fibrotic progression. The expression of fibrosis-related genes was remarkely reduced with sorafenib treatment. Meanwhile, sorafenib inhibited α-SMA and collagen I cumulation induced by CCl4 injection. Besides, protein lysine crotonylation especially the crotonylated H2BK12 (H2BK12cr) and crotonylated H3K18 (H3K18cr) were reversed by sorafenib, which were decreased in response to CCl4 treatment. Spearman correlation analysis shown lysine crotonylation expression was negatively correlated with serum fibrotic indicators. Conversely, crotonylation-regulated enzymes, which negatively regulate protein crotonylation, were increased in response to CCl4 treatment, while sorafenib reduced their expression. Conclusion Sorafenib exerts significant anti-fibrotic effects through mediating crotonylation-regulated enzymes and protein crotonylation in fibrotic rats.

Abstract
Lysine malonylation, a novel identified protein posttranslational modification (PTM), is conservative and present in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Previous studies have reported that malonylation plays an important role in inflammation, angiogenesis, and diabetes. However, its potential role in cardiac remodeling remains unknown. Here, we observed a reduced lysine malonylation in hypertrophic mice hearts created by transverse aortic constriction (TAC) for 8 weeks. We also detected a decreased lysine malonylation in hypertrophic H9C2 cardiomyocytes induced by angiotensin II for 48 h. Using a proteomic method based on affinity purification and LC-MS/MS, we identified total 679 malonylated sites in 330 proteins in the hearts of sham mice and TAC mice. Bioinformatic analysis of the proteomic data revealed enrichment of malonylated proteins involved in cardiac structure and contraction, cGMP-PKG pathway, and metabolism. Specifically, we detected a decreased lysine malonylation in myocardial isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) by immunoprecipitation coupled with Western blotting both in vivo and in vitro. Together, our work suggests an important role and implication of protein lysine malonylation in cardiac hypertrophy, especially the IDH2. SIGNIFICANCE: Heart failure is the terminal stage of cardiac hypertrophy, which imposes an enormous clinical and economic burden worldwide. Despite our knowledge on the pathophysiology of the disease, current therapeutic approaches are still largely limited. Cardiac hypertrophy can be regulated at post-translational modifications (PTMs), and several PTMs have been reported in cardiac hypertrrophy and heart failure. In our study, we first reported a novel PTMs, lysine malonylation, in cardiac hypertophy. we found a reduced lysine malonylation in hypertrophic mice hearts in vivo and H9C2 cardiomyocytes after stimulating with angiotensinII for 48 h in vitro. Using affinity purification and LC-MS/MS, we identified 679 malonylated sites in 330 proteins in the hearts of sham and TAC mice. Compared to the sham group, 5 sites in 2 proteins were quantified as downregulated targets using a 2-fold threshold (downregulation <0.5-fold, P < 0.05). Functional analysis showed a significant enrichment in cardiac structure and contraction, cGMP-PKG pathway and metabolism. Notably, we identified a decreased Kmal level in isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2), but the protein level of IDH2 has no changed in cardiac hypertrophy, These results highlight that lysine malonylation is associated with cardiac hypertrophy, and may be a new therapeutic target of the disease.

Abstract
ECHS1 hydrates medium- and short-chain enoyl CoAs and catalyzes the oxidation of fatty acids and branched-chain amino acids. The mechanism driving ECHS1 deficiency–associated cardiomyopathy was investigated using conventional biochemistry and molecular biology methods, including immunoprecipitation and polymerase chain reaction. Echs1 heterogeneous knockout mice displayed cardiac dysfunction as evaluated by echocardiography. ECHS1 deficiency causes cardiomyopathy by enhancing p300-mediated H3K9ac. ECHS1 deficiency–induced cardiomyopathy can be prevented using an intervention approach targeting H3K9ac.
Short-chain enoyl-CoA hydratase 1 (ECHS1) deficiency plays a role in cardiomyopathy. Whether ECHS1 deficiency causes or is only associated with cardiomyopathy remains unclear. By using Echs1 heterogeneous knockout (Echs1+/-) mice, we found that ECHS1 deficiency caused cardiac dysfunction, as evidenced by diffuse myocardial fibrosis and upregulated fibrosis-related genes. Mechanistically, ECHS1 interacts with the p300 nuclear localization sequence, preventing its nuclear translocation in fibroblasts. ECHS1 deficiency promotes p300 nuclear translocation, leading to increased H3K9 acetylation, a known risk factor for cardiomyopathy. Nicotinamide mononucleotide–mediated acetylation targeting suppressed ECHS1 deficiency–induced cardiomyopathy phenotypes in Echs1+/- mice. Thus, enhancing p300-mediated H3K9ac is a potential interventional approach for preventing ECHS1 deficiency–induced cardiomyopathy.

miR-146a impedes the anti-aging effect of AMPK via NAMPT suppression and NAD +/SIRT inactivation. Signal Transduct Target Ther 2022; 7:66.

Abstract
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is indispensable for the anti-aging activity of the sirtuin (SIRT) family enzymes. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) upregulates NAD+ synthesis and SIRT activity in a nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT)-dependent manner. However, the molecular mechanisms that affect AMPK-driven NAMPT expression and NAD+/SIRT activation remain unclear. In this study, we tried to identify senescence-associated microRNAs (miRNAs) that negatively regulate the cascade linking AMPK and NAMPT expression. miRNA-screening experiments showed that the expression of miR-146a increased in senescent cells but decreased following AMPK activation. Additionally, miR-146a overexpression weakened the metformin-mediated upregulation of NAMPT expression, NAD+ synthesis, SIRT activity, and senescence protection, whereas treatment with the miR-146a inhibitor reversed this effect. Importantly, these findings were observed both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, miR-146a directly targeted the 3′-UTR of Nampt mRNA to reduce the expression of NAMPT. AMPK activators metformin and 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide (AICAR) hindered miR-146a expression at the transcriptional level by promoting IκB kinase (IKK) phosphorylation to attenuate nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) activity. These findings identified a novel cascade that negatively regulates the NAD+/SIRT pathway by suppressing miR-146a-mediated NAMPT downregulation. Furthermore, our results showed that miR-146a impedes the anti-aging effect of AMPK. This mutual inhibitory relationship between miR-146a and AMPK enriches our understanding of the molecular connections between AMPK and SIRT and provides new insight into miRNA-mediated NAD+/SIRT regulation and an intervention point for the prevention of aging and age-related diseases.

Acyl-CoA oxidase 2 (Acox2) is an enzyme involved in peroxisomal bile acid synthesis and branched-chain fatty acid degradation. Acox2 knockout (−/−) mice spontaneously developed liver cancer with marked lymphocytic infiltrate. Tandem-affinity purification coupled with mass spectrometry analysis revealed that Acox2 interacted with methylcrotonoyl-CoA carboxylase followed by co-immunoprecipitation confirmation. Here we reported that non-histone lysine crotonylation (Kcr) levels were downregulated in Acox2−/− mice livers. Interestingly, Kcr signals were concentrated in the nucleus of tumor cells but mostly located in the cytoplasm of adjacent normal liver cells of Acox2−/− mice. Quantitative analysis of the global crotonylome further revealed that 54% (27/50) of downregulated non-histone Kcr sites were located in mitochondrial (11/50) and peroxisomal (17/50) enzymes including Ehhadh, Scp2, Hsd17b4, Crot, Etfa, Cpt1a, Eci1/2, Hadha, Etfdh, and Idh2. Subsequent site-directed mutagenesis and transcriptome analysis revealed that Ehhadh K572cr might have site-specific regulatory roles by downregulating TOP3B expression that lead to increased DNA damage in vitro. Our findings suggested Acox2 is a regulator of Kcr that might play critical role on hepatic metabolic homeostasis.

Abstract
Ischemic heart disease refers to myocardial degeneration, necrosis, and fibrosis caused by coronary artery disease. It can lead to severe left ventricular dysfunction (LVEF ≤ 35–40%) and is a major cause of heart failure (HF). In each contraction, myocardium is subjected to a variety of mechanical forces, such as stretch, afterload, and shear stress, and these mechanical stresses are clinically associated with myocardial remodeling and, eventually, cardiac outcomes. Mitochondria produce 90% of ATP in the heart and participate in metabolic pathways that regulate the balance of glucose and fatty acid oxidative phosphorylation. However, altered energetics and metabolic reprogramming are proved to aggravate HF development and progression by disturbing substrate utilization. This review briefly summarizes the current insights into the adaptations of cardiomyocytes to mechanical stimuli and underlying mechanisms in ischemic heart disease, with focusing on mitochondrial metabolism. We also discuss how mechanical circulatory support (MCS) alters myocardial energy metabolism and affects the detrimental metabolic adaptations of the dysfunctional myocardium.

Abstract
Histone lysine crotonylation (Kcr), an evolutionarily conserved and widespread non-acetyl short-chain lysine acylation, plays important roles in transcriptional regulation and disease processes. However, the genome-wide distribution, dynamic changes, and associations with gene expression of histone Kcr during developmental processes are largely unknown. In this study, we find that histone Kcr is mainly located in active promoter regions, acts as an epigenetic hallmark of highly expressed genes, and regulates genes participating in metabolism and proliferation. Moreover, elevated histone Kcr activates bivalent promoters to stimulate gene expression in neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) by increasing chromatin openness and recruitment of RNA polymerase II (RNAP2). Functionally, these activated genes contribute to transcriptome remodeling and promote neuronal differentiation. Overall, histone Kcr marks active promoters with high gene expression and modifies the local chromatin environment to allow gene activation.

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

Abstract
Lysine crotonylation has been discovered in histone and non-histone proteins and found to be involved in diverse diseases and biological processes, such as neuropsychiatric disease, carcinogenesis, spermatogenesis, tissue injury, and inflammation. The unique carbon–carbon π-bond structure indicates that lysine crotonylation may use distinct regulatory mechanisms from the widely studied other types of lysine acylation. In this review, we discussed the regulation of lysine crotonylation by enzymatic and non-enzymatic mechanisms, the recognition of substrate proteins, the physiological functions of lysine crotonylation and its cross-talk with other types of modification. The tools and methods for prediction and detection of lysine crotonylation were also described.
