Protein lysine acetylation (Kac) modification plays an important role in bacterial antibiotic resistance. The downregulation of Aha1 protein and decreased abundance of Kac peptides were observed in the oxytetracycline resistance strains. Mutations in Aha1 increased antibiotic resistance and displayed multidrug resistance features.
Protein lysine acetylation (Kac) modification plays impor-tant roles in diverse physiological functions. However, there is little evidence on the role of Kac modification in bacterial antibiotic resistance. Here, we compared the differential expressions of whole-cell proteins and Kac peptides in oxytetracycline sensitive and oxytetracycline resistance (OXYR) strains of Aeromonas hydrophila using quantitative proteomics technologies. We observed a porin family protein Aha1 downregulated in the OXYR strain, which may have an important role in the OXY resistance. Interestingly, seven of eight Kac peptides of Aha1 decreased abundance in OXYR as well. Microbio-logic assays showed that the K57R, K187R, and K197R Aha1 mutants significantly increased antibiotic resistance to OXY and reduced the intracellular OXY accumulation in OXY stress. Moreover, these Aha1 mutants displayed multidrug resistance features to tetracyclines and beta-lac-tam antibiotics. The 3D model prediction showed that the Kac states of K57, K187, and K197 sites located at the extracellular pore vestibule of Aha1 may be involved in the uptake of specific types of antibiotics. Overall, our results indicate a novel antibiotic resistance mechanism medi-ated by Kac modification, which may provide a clue for the development of antibiotic therapy strategies.
