Protein phosphorylation networks in spargana of Spirometra erinaceieuropaei revealed by phosphoproteomic analysis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Background: Sparganosis caused by Spirometra erinaceieuropaei spargana is a zoonotic parasitic infection which has been reported in many countries, such as China, Japan, Thailand and Korea, as well as the Europe and United States. This parasite biological and clinical significances, genome, and transcriptome analysis have previously been investigated, but its phosphoproteomes have not been reported. Here, we investigated global and site-specific phosphoproteome profiling of the spargana. Results: 3228 phosphopeptides and 3461 phosphorylation sites were identified from 1758 spargana proteins. The annotated phosphoproteins were involved in the various biological mechanisms, which included the cellular, metabolic and single-organism processes. Additionally, functional enrichment of phosphopepetides in Gene Ontology analysis suggested that most spargana phosphoproteins were related to the cytoskeleton cellular compartment, the signaling molecular function, and a variety of biological processes, including a molecular function regulator, guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity, protein kinase activities, and calcium ion binding. The highly enriched pathway of phosphorylation proteins included the phosphatidylinositol signaling system, phagosome, endocytosis, inositol phosphate metabolism, terpenoid backbone biosynthesis, and peroxisome pathways. Domain analysis of phosphopeptides identified EF-hand domain and pleckstrin homology domain among the important domains. Conclusions: This study provides the first global phosphoproteomic analysis in the spargana. The reported dataset will shed light on future understanding of zoonotic parasite.
