Lysine lactylation regulates biofilm formation of streptococcus mutans

ABSTRACT: Lactate produced in glycolysis has recently been discovered to modify lysine residues on eukaryotic proteins, a post-translational modification (PTM) called lysine lactylation (Kla). This modification not only participates in regulating gene expression through lactylation of histones, but also impacts the function of non-histone proteins. However, lactylation in prokaryotes has not been reported. Here, we report the identification of 1869 lysine lactylation sites in 465 proteins in the cariogenic organism Streptococcus mutans using a newly developed 4-dimensional label-free quantitative proteomic approach, representing the first Kla dataset in prokaryotes. Combining quantitative analysis, we report that the modification levels of 282 sites from 124 proteins increased by over 1.5-fold, and 80 sites from 52 proteins decreased by over 0.67-fold in the biofilm growth state. These results provide a systematic perspective of the distribution and function of Kla and improve our understanding of the role of lactate in the metabolic regulation of prokaryotes.

Project description:Lysine malonylation is an evolutionarily conserved PTM from bacteria to mammals and involves malonyl-coenzyme (CoA) as a cofactor. Since the malonyl group has an acidic carboxylic group under physiological pH, malonylated lysine is negatively charged, which might impact on protein function and enzymatic activities. Like other short-chain acyl-CoAs, malonyl-CoA can be synthesized from its corresponding short-chain acyl salt, malonate, catalyzed by malonyl-CoA synthetase (Witkowski et al., 2011). In addition, malonyl-CoA can be produced during the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA by acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA by propionyl-CoA carboxylase, and the β-oxidation of old-chain-length dicarboxylic acids (Peng et al., 2011). Most studies on Kmal have been performed in mammalian systems and identified thousands of malonylated sites, revealing its role in the progress of diseases like type 2 diabetes, schizophrenia, and cardiac hypertrophy (Du et al., 2015; Smith et al., 2022; Wu et al., 2022). There has been increasing interest in dissecting the regulatory roles of Kmal in several bacterial species, such as Escherichia coli (Qian et al., 2016), Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (Fan et al., 2017), Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Bi et al., 2022), and Staphylococcus aureus (Shi et al., 2021), which demonstrates that Kmal exists in diverse prokaryotic organisms and participates in the regulation of various physiological processes. Even so, whether Kmal exists and affects protein functions in streptococci remains unknown. S. mutans is considered to be the most prevalent and cariogenic species in active carious lesions of humans, residing primarily in dental plaque, which is a biofilm that forms on the tooth surfaces. During the past decades, studies of S. mutans have focused on revealing the molecular mechanisms underlying the robust biofilm formation on tooth surfaces, the metabolism of a wide variety of carbohydrates obtained from the host diet, and the adaption of numerous environmental challenges (Lemos et al., 2019). Several studies have been performed to reveal the roles of PTMs in biofilm and cariogenic virulence. Wang et al. found that the phosphorylation of VicR could inhibit the expression of the glucosyltransferases gtfBC, thereby reducing the synthesis of extracellular polysaccharides (EPS), the major component of cariogenic biofilm (Wang et al., 2021). Acetylome study on the S. mutans depicted that acetylated substrates were globally altered in the biofilm state compared to the planktonic state, and the acetylated GtfBC showed decreased activities (Lei et al., 2021; Ma et al., 2021). Our previous study revealed that the S-glutathionylation of a thioredoxin-like protein is important for interspecies competition and cariogenicity of S. mutans(Li et al., 2020). These results suggest that various PTM types exist in S. mutans and participate in diverse physiological processes. The genome of S. mutans UA159 codes an acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACC), which could synthesize malonyl-CoA through the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA (Ajdić et al., 2002), implying the existence of malonylation in this bacterium. Therefore, this study aimed to confirm the existence of Kmal in S. mutans and identify the malonylated sites globally. The present findings provide a systematic view of the functional roles of Kmal in various metabolic pathways of S. mutans.

Project description:Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy improves liver function in patients with liver cirrhosis. However, the therapeutic mechanism underlying MSC therapy remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate the therapeutic mechanism underlying MSC therapy by analyzing changes in the modification and expression of proteins 1-month post-treatment with MSCs. This prospective study included 11 patients with cirrhosis who received MSC injection in the First Hospital of Lanzhou University. The laboratory indexes before and after treatment were collected to evaluate the clinical treatment effect of MSCs, and peptide segments were extracted from liver tissue before and after treatment to revealed the protein expression and lactylation modification. Meanwhile, weighted gene co-expression network analysis was used to analyze co-expression protein modules and their relationship with clinical features. The patients with liver cirrhosis showed an improvement trend after receiving MSC treatment, specifically, the liver protein synthesis function was significantly improved and coagulation function was also significantly improved. Proteomics combined with lactic acid proteomics revealed 160 Lysine lactylation (Kla) sites of 119 proteins. The downregulated lactylated proteins were associated with metabolic processes. The upregulated lactylated proteins were involved in biological processes. The protein-based co-expression module was significantly related to alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin (TBIL), indirect bilirubin (IBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), and ALB, and 10 proteins significantly related to ALB and 10 proteins significantly related to bilirubin were screened. The changes in clinical indexes before and after treatment indicate that the clinical effects of MSC treatment are related to cell metabolism. Overall, this study is the first study to comprehensively and systematically reveal the changes of lactylated proteins and expression after treatment with MSC by the self-control of patients, and lays a foundation for understanding the functions of lactylation modification in MSC therapy.
