Proteome targets of ubiquitin-like samp1ylation are associated with sulfur metabolism and oxidative stress in Haloferax volcanii.

ABSTRACT: Small archeal modifier proteins (SAMPs) are related to ubiquitin in tertiary structure and in their isopeptide linkage to substrate proteins. SAMPs also function in sulfur mobilization to form biomolecules such as molybdopterin and thiolated tRNA. While SAMP1 is essential for anaerobic growth and covalently attached to lysine residues of its molybdopterin synthase partner MoaE (K240 and K247), the full diversity of proteins modified by samp1ylation is not known. Here, we expand the knowledge of proteins isopeptide linked to SAMP1. LC-MS/MS analysis of -Gly-Gly signatures derived from SAMP1 S85R conjugates cleaved with trypsin was used to detect sites of sampylation (23 lysine residues) that mapped to 11 target proteins. Many of the identified target proteins were associated with sulfur met
