Lysine Phoshoglycerylation Is Widespread in Bacteria and Overlaps with Acylation.

ABSTRACT: Phosphoglycerylation is a non-enzymatic protein modification in which a phosphoglyceryl moiety is covalently bound to the ε-amino group of lysine. It is enriched in glycolytic enzymes from humans and mice and is thought to provide a feedback mechanism for regulating glycolytic flux. We report the first proteomic analysis of this post-translational modification in bacteria by profiling phosphoglyceryl-lysine during the growth of Streptococcus pyogenes in different culture media. The identity of phosphoglyceryl-lysine was confirmed by a previously unknown diagnostic cyclic immonium ion generated during MS/MS. We identified 370 lysine phosphoglycerylation sites in 123 proteins of S. pyogenes. Growth in a defined medium on 1% fructose caused a significant accumulation of phosphog
