ABSTRACT
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins are paramount in health and disease. Phosphoproteome analysis by enrichment techniques is becoming increasingly attractive for biomedical research. Recent findings show co-enrichment of other phosphate-containing biologically relevant PTMs, but these results were obtained by closed searches focused on the modifications sought. Open searches are a breakthrough in high-throughput PTM analysis (OS-PTM), identifying practically all PTMs detectable by mass spectrometry, even unknown ones, with their modified sites, in a hypothesis-free and deep manner. Here we reanalyze liver phosphoproteome by OS-PTM, demonstrating its extremely complex nature. We found extensive Lys glycerophosphorylations (pgK), as well as modification with glycerylphosphorylethanolamine on Glu (gpetE) and flavin mononucleotide on His (fmnH). The functionality of these metabolite-derived PTMs is demonstrated during metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) development in mice. MASLD elicits specific alterations in pgK, epgE and fmnH in the liver, mainly on glycolytic enzymes and mitochondrial proteins, suggesting an increase in glycolysis and mitochondrial ATP production from the early insulin-resistant stages. Thus, we show new possible mechanisms based on metabolite-derived PTMs leading to intrahepatic lipid accumulation during MASLD development and reinforce phosphoproteome enrichment as a valuable tool with which to study the functional implications of a variety of low-abundant phosphate-containing PTMs in cell physiology.
