Functions and Mechanisms of Lysine Glutarylation in Eukaryotes.

ABSTRACT: Lysine glutarylation (Kglu) is a newly discovered post-translational modification (PTM), which is considered to be reversible, dynamic, and conserved in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Recent developments in the identification of Kglu by mass spectrometry have shown that Kglu is mainly involved in the regulation of metabolism, oxidative damage, chromatin dynamics and is associated with various diseases. In this review, we firstly summarize the development history of glutarylation, the biochemical processes of glutarylation and deglutarylation. Then we focus on the pathophysiological functions such as glutaric acidemia 1, asthenospermia, etc. Finally, the current computational tools for predicting glutarylation sites are discussed. These emerging findings point to new functions for lysine glutarylation and related enzymes, and also highlight the mechanisms by which glutarylation regulates diverse cellular processes.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Glutarylation, the addition of a glutaryl group (five carbons) to a lysine residue of a protein molecule, is an important post-translational modification and plays a regulatory role in a variety of physiological and biological processes. As the number of experimentally identified glutarylated peptides increases, it becomes imperative to investigate substrate motifs to enhance the study of protein glutarylation. We carried out a bioinformatics investigation of glutarylation sites based on amino acid composition using a public database containing information on 430 non-homologous glutarylation sites. RESULTS:The TwoSampleLogo analysis indicates that positively charged and polar amino acids surrounding glutarylated sites may be associated with the specificity in substrate site of protein glutarylation. Additionally, the chi-squared test was utilized to explore the intrinsic interdependence between two positions around glutarylation sites. Further, maximal dependence decomposition (MDD), which consists of partitioning a large-scale dataset into subgroups with statistically significant amino acid conservation, was used to capture motif signatures of glutarylation sites. We considered single features, such as amino acid composition (AAC), amino acid pair composition (AAPC), and composition of k-spaced amino acid pairs (CKSAAP), as well as the effectiveness of incorporating MDD-identified substrate motifs into an integrated prediction model. Evaluation by five-fold cross-validation showed that AAC was most effective in discriminating between glutarylation and non-glutarylation sites, according to support vector machine (SVM). CONCLUSIONS:The SVM model integrating MDD-identified substrate motifs performed well, with a sensitivity of 0.677, a specificity of 0.619, an accuracy of 0.638, and a Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) value of 0.28. Using an independent testing dataset (46 glutarylated and 92 non-glutarylated sites) obtained from the literature, we demonstrated that the integrated SVM model could improve the predictive performance effectively, yielding a balanced sensitivity and specificity of 0.652 and 0.739, respectively. This integrated SVM model has been implemented as a web-based system (MDDGlutar), which is now freely available at http://csb.cse.yzu.edu.tw/MDDGlutar/ .
