ABSTRACT
Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) are important regulators of protein functions and produce proteome complexity. SIRT1 has NAD+-dependent deacylation of acyl-lysine residues. The present study aimed to explore the correlation between lysine crotonylation (Kcr) on cardiac function and rhythm in Sirt1 cardiac-specific knockout (ScKO) mice and related mechanism. Quantitative proteomics and bioinformatics analysis of Kcr were performed in the heart tissue of ScKO mice established with a tamoxifen-inducible Cre-loxP system. The expression and enzyme activity of crotonylated protein were assessed by western blot, co-immunoprecipitation, and cell biology experiment. Echocardiography and electrophysiology were performed to investigate the influence of decrotonylation on cardiac function and rhythm in ScKO mice. The Kcr of SERCA2a was significantly increased on Lys120 (1.973 folds). The activity of SERCA2a decreased due to lower binding energy of crotonylated SERCA2a and ATP. Changes in expression of PPAR-related proteins suggest abnormal energy metabolism in the heart. ScKO mice had cardiac hypertrophy, impaired cardiac function, and abnormal ultrastructure and electrophysiological activities. We conclude that knockout of SIRT1 alters the ultrastructure of cardiac myocytes, induces cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction, causes arrhythmia, and changes energy metabolism by regulating Kcr of SERCA2a. These findings provide new insight into the role of PTMs in heart diseases.
