Figure 4. Sirt3 catalyzes the hydrolysis of crotonyl lysine in vitro.

(AC) 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). (DG) 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.

The reaction mixture of Sirt3 catalyzed nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) dependent decrotonylation of H3K4Cr peptide was analyzed by LC-MS. Partial chromatogram of the reaction mixture with UV (260 nm) (A) and mass detector (B). In (B), the black trace shows total ion intensity for all ion species with m/z from 300 to 2000 (i.e., total ion counts, TIC); blue trace shows ion intensity (5× magnified) for the mass of NAD (m/z = 664); and pink trace shows ion intensity (5× magnified) for the mass of O-Cr-ADPR (m/z = 628). (C) ESI-MS spectra of NAD and O-Cr-ADPR.

Figure 4—figure supplement 5.

(AC) Sirt1, Sirt2, and Sirt3 showed significant decrotonylation activities towards H3K4Cr. (D, E) Sirt5 and Sirt6 showed little decrotonylation activities towards H3K4Cr. 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 masses of decrotonylated (unmodified) peptides; and blue traces show ion intensity (5× magnified) for masses of crotonylated peptides.
