Protein acetylation in response to carbon overflow: detecting dynamic acetylation changes by mass spectrometry

Birgit Schilling, David Christensen, Bradford W. Gibson, Alan J. Wolfe et al.

Experimental Design for the E. coli glucose dependent acetylome project: 

To identify specific lysines with significant acetylation changes, we grew cells in TB7 with and without glucose, applied label-free, quantitative mass spectrometry (MS1 Filtering), monitored acetylated peptides, and compared acetylation changes (i) over time during growth in the presence of glucose and (ii) between glucose and no glucose growth conditions. This approach revealed increases over time in both the number of detected lysine acetylation sites and the dynamic relative increase of determined acetylation levels. During the time course, the change in acetylation varied greatly between individual lysines from the same proteins, consistent with differences in specificity. Glucose-regulated lysine acetylation sites were particularly predominant in central metabolic pathways and overlapped extensively with acetylPhosphgate-regulated lysine acetylation sites.

Abstract
Non-enzymatic acetyl phosphate (acP)-dependent Nε-lysine acetylation predominates in the bacterium Escherichia coli. To describe this post-translational modification, we grew wild-type cells in buffered tryptone broth (TB7) plus glucose or lactate, and monitored acetylation over time by Western immunoblot and mass spectrometry. Although acetylation began during exponential growth, most occurred in stationary phase which paralleled glucose consumption and acetate excretion that began upon entry into stationary phase. This explains how acP-dependent acetylation can occur throughout stationary phase. The large increase in acetylation during stationary phase occurred only if glucose or lactate were added during exponential growth. Transcription of the small RNA rprA, which regulates the alternative stationary phase sigma factor, exhibited similar behavior. To identify specific lysines with significant acetylation changes, we grew cells in TB7 with and without glucose, applied label-free, quantitative mass spectrometry (MS1 Filtering) to monitor changes in acetylated peptide levels over time during growth in the presence of glucose and without glucose. This approach revealed increases over time in both the number of detected lysine acetylation sites and a dynamic increase in their acetylation levels. During the time course, the change in acetylation varied greatly between individual lysines from the same proteins, consistent with differences in specificity. Since glucose-regulated lysine acetylation sites were particularly predominant in central metabolic pathways and overlapped extensively with acP-regulated lysine acetylation sites, we deleted crp, which encodes the major carbon regulator, and observed a dramatic loss of acetylation that was restored by deleting ackA, which increases acP. We propose that acP-dependent acetylation is a response to carbon flux that has the potential to regulate central metabolism.
