Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Molecular Biology
  • Systems Biology

Background:

  • Protein acetylation is a critical regulatory mechanism, comparable to phosphorylation.
  • Sirtuins, including mitochondrial SIRT3, are NAD(+)-dependent deacetylases involved in various cellular processes.
  • Identifying specific substrates for deacetylases like SIRT3 is crucial for understanding their regulatory roles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an unbiased screening strategy for identifying novel SIRT3 protein substrates.
  • To leverage machine learning for predicting SIRT3 binding affinity across the mitochondrial proteome.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a novel thiotrifluoroacetyl-lysine analogue for screening.
  • Employed SPOT-peptide libraries based on known and potential mitochondrial acetylation sites.

  • Applied machine learning algorithms to analyze binding trends and predict substrate affinity.
  • Validated predictions using steady-state kinetic assays.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed method accurately predicted SIRT3 binding affinity for various acetyl-lysine peptides.
    • Machine learning predictions correlated well with kinetic data (k(cat)/K(m)) for 24 peptides.
    • Identified potential SIRT3 substrates within key metabolic pathways.

    Conclusions:

    • SPOT peptide-binding screens combined with machine learning offer an efficient approach to determine sirtuin substrate specificity.
    • This strategy can identify SIRT3 substrates involved in mitochondrial metabolism, including the urea cycle, ATP synthesis, and fatty acid oxidation.
