High-temperature stress caused by global climate change poses a significant threat to marine ectotherms. This study investigated the role of protein phosphorylation modifications in the molecular regulation network under heat stress in oysters, which are representative intertidal organisms that experience considerable temperature changes. Firstly, the study compared the extent of thermal damage between two congeneric oyster species, the relative heat-tolerant Crassostrea angulata (C. angulata) and heat-sensitive Crassostrea gigas (C. gigas), under sublethal temperature (37 °C) for 12 h, using various physiological and biochemical methods. Subsequently, the comparative proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses revealed that high-temperature considerably regulated signal transduction, energy metabolism, protein synthesis, cell survival and apoptosis, and cytoskeleton remodeling through phosphorylation modifications of related receptors and kinases. Furthermore, the protein kinase A, mitogen-activated protein kinase 1, tyrosine-protein kinase Src, and serine/threonine kinase AKT, exhibiting differential phosphorylation modification patterns, were identified as hub regulators that may enhance glycolysis and TCA cycle to increase the energy supply, distribute protein synthesis, inhibit Caspase-dependent apoptosis activated by endogenous mitochondrial cytochrome release and maintain cytoskeletal stability, ultimately shaping the higher thermal resistance of C. angulata. This study represents the first investigation of protein phosphorylation dynamics in marine invertebrates under heat stress, reveals the molecular mechanisms underlying the differential thermal responses between two Crassostrea oysters at the phosphorylation level, and provides new insights into understanding phosphorylation-mediated molecular responses in marine organisms during environmental changes and predicting the adaptive potential in the context of global warming.
