protein desuccinylation

Definition

Target type: biologicalprocess

The removal of a succinyl group (CO-CH2-CH2-CO) from a residue in a peptide or protein. [GOC:sp, PMID:22076378]

Protein desuccinylation is a crucial post-translational modification (PTM) that involves the removal of succinyl groups (C4H4O3) from lysine residues within proteins. Succinylation is a dynamic process that can alter protein structure, function, and interactions.

Desuccinylation is catalyzed by a family of enzymes known as desuccinylases, which belong to the sirtuin family. These enzymes utilize NAD+ as a cofactor and hydrolyze the succinyl group from lysine residues, releasing succinate and NADH.

Desuccinylation plays a critical role in various cellular processes, including:

1. **Metabolic regulation:** Desuccinylation can modulate the activity of enzymes involved in metabolic pathways, such as the citric acid cycle and glycolysis.
2. **Gene expression:** Desuccinylation can influence the activity of transcription factors, affecting gene expression patterns.
3. **Cellular signaling:** Desuccinylation can regulate the function of signaling proteins, impacting downstream pathways.
4. **Stress response:** Desuccinylation can contribute to the cellular response to stress conditions, such as oxidative stress or nutrient deprivation.
5. **Disease pathogenesis:** Dysregulation of desuccinylation has been implicated in the development of various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic disorders.

The process of desuccinylation is highly dynamic and reversible, and the balance between succinylation and desuccinylation is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis. This balance is influenced by various factors, including cellular metabolism, stress levels, and the expression levels of succinyltransferases and desuccinylases.

In summary, desuccinylation is a critical PTM that modulates protein function and plays a role in numerous cellular processes. Understanding the mechanisms and regulation of desuccinylation is essential for elucidating its role in health and disease.'
