Lysine crotonylation is an important post-translational modification process. Most research in this area has been carried out on mammals and yeast, but there has been little research on it in plants. In the current study, large-scale lysine crotonylome analysis was performed by a combination of affinity enrichment and high-resolution LC-MS/MS analysis. Altogether, 6051 lysine crotonylation sites were identified in 2508 protein groups. Bioinformatics analysis showed that lysine-crotonylated proteins were involved in many biological processes, such as carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms, biosynthesis of amino acids, ribosomes structure and function. In particular, subcellular localization analysis showed that 43% of the crotonylated proteins were located in the chloroplast. Twenty-nine crotonylation proteins were associated with photosynthesis and functional enrichment that these proteins were associated with the reaction center, photosynthetic electron transport, and ATP synthesis. Based on these results, further studies to expand on the lysine crotonylome analysis were suggested.

Background & Aims: Crotonylation (Kcr), a newly identified post-translation modification (PTM), has been confirmed to be involved in diverse biological processes and human diseases as well. Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) poses a serious threat to people's health. Augmenter of liver regeneration (ALR) is an important liver regulatory protein, and the insufficiency of ALR expression is reported to accelerate liver steatosis progression to liver fibrosis or even hepatic carcinoma (HCC).

Protein lysine crotonylation is a novel acylation modification discovered in 2011, which plays a key role in the regulation of various biological processes. Thousands of crotonylation sites have been identified in histone and non-histone proteins over the past decades. Crotonylation is conserved and is regulated by a series of enzymes including "writer", "eraser", and "reader".

Fluoride is an essential trace element for human. Adequate levels of fluoride are crucial for maintaining skeletal growth, but excessive fluoride exposure entering the body can cause renal damage, including damaged renal tubules and impaired renal function. However, the mechanism on fluoride-induced kidney injury remains unclear.

The incidence of pancreatic cancer has been increasing globally in recent years and dietary is a well-defined factor contributing to its carcinogenesis. In this study, we showed that in a cerulein-induced KC (Pdx1-cre; LSL-Kras G12D/+) mouse model, a fasting-mimicking diet (FMD)─comprising fasting for 3 days followed by 4 days of refeeding, repeated over three 1-week cycles─significantly retards the progression of pancreatic carcinogenesis. FMD treatment altered gut microbiota, notably boosting butyrate-producing bacteria and elevating butyric acid levels in pancreatic tissues.
