Evaluation of N8-propargyl spermidine and spermine as substrates of deoxyhypusine synthase in the in vitro hypusination of eIF5A and RIPK1
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: eIF5A is a well-established protein substrate of deoxyhypusine synthase (DHS), which also requires spermidine as a small-molecule substrate. At the end of 2024, a publication claimed that RIPK1 is an additional DHS substrate and that N8-propargyl spermidine can also serve as a DHS substrate. To evaluate these claims, eIF5A and RIPK1 were subjected to in vitro hypusination in the presence of DHS, deoxyhypusine hydroxylase (DOHH; the enzyme that hydroxylates the deoxyhypusine residue generated by DHS), and either N8-propargyl spermidine or spermidine. For reactions containing N8-propargyl spermidine, the samples were split: one portion was directly digested with trypsin, whereas the other was subjected to CuAAC ligation with azido-PEG3-biotin prior to tryptic digestion. Following LC-MS/MS analysis and MaxQuant processing, the data were searched for peptides bearing hypusine, deoxyhypusine, and their N-propargylated analogs. In samples that underwent CuAAC ligation, additional searches were performed for PEG3-biotin-triazole-modified N8-propargyl-spermidine-derived hypusine and deoxyhypusine, as well as for cysteine-N8-propargyl spermidine thio-triazole adducts.
