Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) to histones such as lysine crotonylation are classified as epigenetic changes. Lysine crotonylation participates in various cellular processes and occurs in active promoters, directly accelerating transcription. The present study performed a proteomics analysis of crotonylation between healthy controls and patients with immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy using tandem mass spectrometry and high‑resolution liquid chromatography. The present results identified 353 crotonylated proteins and 770 modification sites, including 155 upregulated and 198 downregulated crotonylated proteins. In total, seven conserved motifs were identified in the present study. The present bioinformatics analysis results suggested a number of the crotonylated proteins exhibited various subcellular localization patterns, such as in the cytoplasm. Protein domains, including thioredoxin, moesin tail and myosin like IQ motif domains were markedly enriched in crotonylated proteins. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and functional enrichment analyses suggested significant enrichment of crotonylated proteins in complement and coagulation cascades, and antigen processing and presentation pathways displaying important relationships with IgA nephropathy. The present results suggested that crotonylation occurred in numerous proteins and may play key regulatory roles in IgA nephropathy.

Introduction: This study designed to examine whether social/ environmental experiences can induce the epigenetic modification, and influence the associated physiology and behaviour. To test this, we have used social stress [prenatal stress (PNS)] model and then housed at environmental enrichment (EE) condition to evaluate the interaction between specific epigenetic modification and its influence on behaviour.
Methods: Pregnant rats were randomly divided into a control group, PNS group, and PNS+EE group.

Protein lysine crotonylation has been found to be closely related to the occurrence and development of various diseases. Currently, site identification of crotonylation is mainly dependent on antibody enrichment; however, due to the cost, heterogeneity, and specificity of antibodies, it is desired to develop an alternative chemical tool to detect crotonylation. Herein, we report an alkynyl-functionalized bioorthogonal chemical probe, Cr-alkyne, for the detection and identification of protein lysine crotonylation in mammalian cells.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease [MASLD] is a pervasive multifactorial health burden. Post-translational modifications [PTMs] of amino acid residues in protein domains demonstrate pivotal roles for imparting dynamic alterations in the cellular micro milieu. The crux of identifying novel druggable targets relies on comprehensively studying the etiology of metabolic disorders.

Dissection of the physiological interactomes of histone post-translational modifications (hPTMs) is crucial for understanding epigenetic regulatory pathways. Peptide- or protein-based histone photoaffinity tools expanded the ability to probe the epigenetic interactome, but in situ profiling in native cells remains challenging. Here, we develop a nucleus-targeting histone-tail-based photoaffinity probe capable of profiling the hPTM-mediated interactomes in native cells, by integrating cell-permeable and nuclear localization peptide modules into an hPTM peptide equipped with a photoreactive moiety.

Background: Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) play critical roles in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the locations of PTM-modified sites across protein secondary structures and regulatory patterns in HCC remain largely uncharacterized.
Methods: Total proteome and nine PTMs (phosphorylation, acetylation, crotonylation, ubiquitination, lactylation, N-glycosylation, succinylation, malonylation, and β-hydroxybutyrylation) in tumor sections and paired normal adjacent tissues derived from 18 HCC patients were systematically profiled by 4D-Label free proteomics analysis combined with PTM-based peptide enrichment.
