(A–C) The hydrolysis of the crotonylated peptides by Sirt3 was analyzed by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. The hydrolysis of H3K4Cr was observed with Sirt3 in the presence (A), but not absence of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) (B), or with the mutated Sirt3, H248Y (C). (D–G) Sirt3 showed varied decrotonylation activities towards H2BK5Cr (D), H3K9Cr (E), H3K27Cr (F), and H4K8Cr (G) peptides. Black traces show total ion intensity for all ion species with m/z from 300 to 2000 (i.e., total ion counts, TIC); pink traces show ion intensity (5× magnified) for the masses of decrotonylated (unmodified) peptides; and blue traces show ion intensity (5× magnified) for the masses of crotonylated peptides.
