Acetylation of Proximal Cysteine-Lysine Pairs by Alcohol Metabolism

ABSTRACT: Alcohol consumption induces hepatocyte damage through complex processes involving oxidative stress and disrupted metabolism. Combined, these factors alter proteomic and epigenetic marks providing a critical opportunity to identify therapeutic targets. Indeed, alcohol-induced protein acetylation is a key post-translational modification (PTM) that regulates hepatic metabolism and is associated with the pathogenesis of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). Interestingly, recent evidence suggests lysine acetylation occurs when a proximal cysteine residue is within ~15 Å of a lysine residue, referred to as a cysteine-lysine (Cys-Lys) pair. Here, acetylation can occur through the transfer of an acetyl moiety via an S à N acetyl transfer reaction. Alcohol-mediated hepatic redox stress is known to occur coincident with lysine acetylation, but the biochemical mechanisms related to cysteine and lysine crosstalk within ALD remain unexplored. A chronic murine model of ALD was employed to quantify hepatic cysteine redox and lysine acetylation, revealing that alcohol metabolism significantly reduced the cysteine proteome and increased protein acetylation. Interrogating both cysteine redox and lysine acetylation datasets, 1,281 proteins were mapped by AlphaFold2 to quantify distances between 557,815 cysteine and lysine residues. This process identified 388,698 Cys-Lys pairs that were further used to evaluate thiol redox signaling. Our analysis reveals that alcohol metabolism induces redox changes and acetylation selectively on proximal Cys-Lys pairs with an odds ratio of 1.89 (p< 0.0001). We also identified key redox signaling hubs embedded in metabolic pathways associated with ALD, including lipid metabolism, the TCA cycle, and the electron transport chain. Specific protein targets embedded across these pathways include Echs1, Glrx5, Decr2, and Adh1, among many others. Interestingly, these proximal Cys-Lys exist as four major protein motifs represented by the number of Cys and Lys residues that are pairing (Cysx-Lysx). These motifs include Cys1:Lys1, Cysx:Lys1, Cys1:Lysx and Cysx:Lysx each with a unique microenvironment likely indicative of the mode of enzymatic regulation occurring. The motifs are composed of functionally relevant amino acids altered within ALD, identifying sites of therapeutic potential. Furthermore, these unique Cys-Lys redox signatures are translationally relevant as revealed by orthologous comparison with severe alcohol-associated hepatitis (SAH) explants, revealing numerous pathogenic thiol redox signals in these patients.

Project description:Cysteine is a rare and conserved amino acid involved in most cellular functions. The thiol group of cysteine can be subjected to diverse oxidative modifications that regulate most physio-pathological states. Here, a Cysteine-specific Phosphonate Adaptable Tag (CysPAT) was synthesized to selectively label cysteine-containing peptides (Cys peptides) followed by enrichment with titanium dioxide (TiO2) and mass spectrometric analysis. The CysPAT strategy was developed using a synthetic peptide, a standard protein and subsequently the strategy was applied to Hela cells lysate, achieving high specificity and enrichment efficiency. In particular,From 500µg of Hela cell lysate, the method led to the identification of 9229 unique Cys peptides starting from 500µg of Hela cell lysate . the CysPAT labelled Cys peptides showed increased hydrophobicity. Finally, the method was further developed to simultaneously enrich Cys peptides and phosphorylated peptidesThe method was further developed to simultaneously enrich Cys peptides and phosphorylated peptides from SILAC labelled Hela cells subjected to 5 min epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulation. In total, of 22972 unique reversibly modified Cys peptides (3886 proteins) and 18549 unique phosphopeptides (2257 proteins) were simultaneously identified by Orbitrap Fusion. Significant regulation was observed in both phosphorylation and reversible Cys modification of proteins interacted with EGF receptor (EGFR)-binding proteins and proteins involved in EGFR signaling pathway. EGF stimulation can activate the phosphorylation of EGFR and downstream signaling molecules, such as mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK1 and MAPK3), meanwhile, it also leads to the activation of multiple protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) by reduction of the catalytic Cys site in the conserved putative phosphatase HC(X)5R motif, Llater the activated PTPs would dephosphorylate and inactivate the molecules activated by EGF stimulation. Overall, the CysPAT strategy is a promising tool for studying redox proteomics and the simultaneous enrichment strategy offers an excellent solution for characterization of cross-talk between phosphorylation and redox induced cysteine modifications.
