The butyrylation of a lysine residue in a protein. Butyryl is the univalent radical C3H7COO- derived from butyric acid. [PMID:27105113, Wikipedia:butyryl]
Peptidyl-lysine butyrylation is a post-translational modification (PTM) that involves the attachment of butyric acid (also known as butanoic acid), a four-carbon fatty acid, to the ε-amino group of lysine residues within a protein. This modification is catalyzed by enzymes known as butyryltransferases, which utilize butyryl-CoA as a donor of the butyryl group.
Butyrylation, like other acylations, can significantly alter the physicochemical properties of a protein, including its charge, hydrophobicity, and conformation. These changes can impact a protein's interactions with other molecules, its stability, its localization within the cell, and its enzymatic activity.
The biological roles of peptidyl-lysine butyrylation are still being investigated, but it has been implicated in various cellular processes, including:
- **Regulation of gene expression:** Butyrylation can modify histones, the proteins around which DNA is wrapped, affecting chromatin structure and accessibility, thereby influencing gene transcription.
- **Signal transduction:** Butyrylation can modulate the activity of signaling proteins, potentially impacting cellular communication and response to external stimuli.
- **Metabolic regulation:** Butyrylation has been shown to influence the activity of enzymes involved in various metabolic pathways, including glycolysis and fatty acid metabolism.
- **Cellular stress response:** Butyrylation can be involved in cellular responses to stress, such as oxidative stress or nutrient deprivation.
- **Disease pathogenesis:** Dysregulation of butyrylation has been linked to various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic diseases.
The specific biological effects of butyrylation on a particular protein depend on the site of modification, the degree of butyrylation, and the cellular context. Further research is needed to fully understand the roles of butyrylation in various biological processes and its potential implications for human health.'
