An Oncometabolite Isomer Rapidly Induces a Pathophysiological Protein Modification.


ABSTRACT: Metabolites regulate protein function via covalent and noncovalent interactions. However, manipulating these interactions in living cells remains a major challenge. Here, we report a chemical strategy for inducing cysteine S-succination, a nonenzymatic post-translational modification derived from the oncometabolite fumarate. Using a combination of antibody-based detection and kinetic assays, we benchmark the in vitro and cellular reactivity of two novel S-succination "agonists," maleate and 2-bromosuccinate. Cellular assays reveal maleate to be a more potent and less toxic inducer of S-succination, which can activate KEAP1-NRF2 signaling in living cells. By enabling the cellular reconstitution of an oncometabolite-protein interaction with physiochemical accuracy and minimal toxicity, this study provides a methodological basis for better understanding the signaling role of metabolites in disease.
