First Global Proteomic Analysis of Lysine Malonylation in Toxoplasma gondii

ABSTRACT: Lysine malonylation (Kmal) is a new posttranslational modification (PTM), which has been reported in several prokaryotic and eukaryotic species. Although Kmal can regulate many and diverse biological processes in various organisms, knowledge about this important PTM in the apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii is limited. In this study, we performed the first global profiling of malonylated proteins in T. gondii tachyzoites using affinity enrichment and LC-MS/MS analysis. Three experiments performed in tandem revealed 331, 367, 373 Kmal sites on 227, 252, 241 malonylated proteins, respectively. Computational analysis showed the identified malonylated proteins to be localized in various subcellular compartments and involved in many cellular functions, particularly mitochondrial function and oxidation of fatty acids. Additionally, two conserved Kmal motifs with a strong bias for cysteine were detected. Taken together, these findings provide the first report of Kmal profile in T. gondii and should be an important resource for studying the physiological roles of Kmal in this parasite.

Project description:Toxoplasma gondii transmitted via various route and rapidly duplicated during the acute infection, which caused the important zoonosis regarding to medicine and veterinary, toxoplasmosis. T. gondii possessed innate capability of producing nitric oxide (NO) and nitric oxide derivatives and S-nitrosylation not only participated in their signaling transduction, but also was a regulatory mechanism of protein post-translation. To date, S-nitrosylation proteome of T .gondii remains a mystery. In present study, we reported the first S-nitrosylated proteomic profile in T. gondii using mass spectrometry in combination with resin-assisted enrichment. 637 proteins were found to be S-nitrosylated and more than half of these S-nitrosylated proteins were localized in nucleus or cy-toplasm. Motif analysis identified seven motifs including five motifs containing lysine and two motif harboring isoleucine. GO enrichment revealed that S-nitrosylated proteins were mainly lo-cated in the mitochondrial inner membrane and organelle inner membrane in the cell. Those S-nitrosylated proteins were related with diverse biological and metabolic processes including or-ganic acid binding, carboxylic acid binding ribose and phosphate biosynthetic process. Glycoly-sis/gluconeogenesis and aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis were two remarkable pathways in which T. gondii S-nitrosylated proteins engaged. Twenty seven ribosomal proteins and eleven microneme proteins out of 22 secretory proteins were identified as S-nitrosylated proteins, which suggested that proteins in ribosome and microneme were S-nitrosylated with high proportion. PPI analysis identified three subnetworks with high relevancy ribosome, RNA transport and chaperonin com-plex component. These results implied that S-nitrosylated proteins in T. gondii were associated with protein translation in ribosome, gene transcription, invasion and proliferation of T. gondii. Our research firstly identified the S-nitrosylated proteomic profile of T. gondii and will provide a valuable resource for deep-going investigation of the functions of S-nitrosylation in T. gondii.

Project description:The novel Traditional Chinese Medicine Ramulus Mori (Sangzhi) alkaloid tablets (SZ-A) are approved by The China National Medical Products Administration for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the extensive pharmacological characteristics and the underlying mechanism are unknown. This study investigated the mechanisms by which SZ-A ameliorates glucose metabolism in KKAy mice, an animal model of T2DM. Diabetic KKAy mice were treated intragastrically with SZ-A once daily for 8 weeks, after which glucose levels, lipid metabolism, gut microbiome, systemic inflammatory factors, luminal concentrations of short-chain fatty acids (fecal samples), and ileal proteomic changes were evaluated. The ileum tissues were collected, and the effects of SZ-A on pathological inflammatory damage were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin staining, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry. The mRNA and protein expression levels of various inflammatory markers, including monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and phosphorylated nuclear factor kappa B p65, were detected in the ileum tissues. SZ-A improved glucose metabolism with enhanced insulin response and elevated glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) during the glucose tolerance test in diabetic KKAy mice. Gut microbiota analysis demonstrated that SZ-A administration elevated the abundance of Bacteroidaceae and Verrucomicrobia, reduced the levels of Rikenellaceae and Desulfovibrionaceae; and increased the concentrations of fecal acetic and propionic acids compared to the diabetic model group. Additionally, SZ-A markedly improved ileal inflammatory injury and pro-inflammatory macrophage infiltration and improved intestinal mucosal barrier function in diabetic KKAy mice. SZ-A also attenuated the levels of circulating endotoxin, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and chemokines in the mice sera. Collectively, SZ-A ameliorated the overall metabolic profile including glucose and lipid metabolism in KKAy mice, which may be associated with an improvement in GLP-1 and insulin secretion, at least in part by modulating the gut microbiome and relieving the degree of ileal and systemic inflammation.
