Abstract
Despite considerable efforts have been devoted to elucidating the mechanism underlying secondary metabolism in Streptomyces, which are prolific producers of secondary metabolites with diverse biological activities, such as bacteriocides and antitumors, the full map of regulation and corresponding network is still far from perfect. Protein lysine acetylation is an evolutionarily conserved protein post-translational modification, abundantly existing in proteins with diverse biological context. We took advantage of integrated high throughput PTM proteomics followed by intensive bioinformatic analysis to profile lysine acetylome of Streptomyces roseosporus. In total, 1134 unique Kac sites in 667 lysine acetylated substrates were identified, representing the largest aceylomics in prokaryotes to date. Significantly, a nonribosomal peptide synthetase, an enzyme essential for hydroxamate siderophore and phosphinic acid natural products biosynthesis, was found to be acetylated. Given the conservation of these enzymes in biosynthesis of diverse secondary metabolites, lysine acetylation likely plays an important role in regulating secondary metabolism in Streptomyces.
