Abstract

Among the various cell types that constitute the liver, Kupffer cells (KCs) are responsible for the elimination of gut-derived foreign products. Protein lysine acetylation (Kac) and lactylation (Kla) are dynamic and reversible post-translational modifications, and various global acylome studies have been conducted for liver and liver-derived cells. However, no such studies have been conducted on KCs. In this study, we identified 2198 Kac sites in 925 acetylated proteins and 289 Kla sites in 181 lactylated proteins in immortalized mouse KCs using global acylome technology. The subcellular distributions of proteins with Kac and Kla site modifications differed. Similarly, the specific sequence motifs surrounding acetylated or lactylated lysine residues also showed differences. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were performed to better understand the differentially expressed proteins in the studies by Kac and Kla. In the newly identified Kla, we found K82 lactylation in the high-mobility group box-1 protein in the neutrophil extracellular trap formation category using KEGG enrichment analyses. Here, we report the first proteomic survey of Kac and Kla in KCs.
