| Summary: | Abstract Background Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) play critical roles in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the locations of PTM-modified sites across protein secondary structures and regulatory patterns in HCC remain largely uncharacterized. Methods Total proteome and nine PTMs (phosphorylation, acetylation, crotonylation, ubiquitination, lactylation, N-glycosylation, succinylation, malonylation, and β-hydroxybutyrylation) in tumor sections and paired normal adjacent tissues derived from 18 HCC patients were systematically profiled by 4D-Label free proteomics analysis combined with PTM-based peptide enrichment. Results We detected robust preferences in locations of intrinsically disordered protein regions (IDRs) with phosphorylated sites and other site biases to locate in folded regions. Integrative analyses revealed that phosphorylated and multiple acylated-modified sites are enriched in proteins containing RRM1 domain, and RNA splicing is the key feature of this subset of proteins, as indicated by phosphorylation and acylation of splicing factor NCL at multiple residues. We confirmed that NCL-S67, K398, and K646 cooperate to regulate RNA processing. Conclusion Together, this proteome profiling represents a comprehensive study detailing regulatory patterns based on multiple PTMs of HCC. |
