Proteomic analyses of lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation in Fusarium graminearum in response to tebuconazole and carbendazim

Lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation (Khib) is a newly discovered post-translational modification in some prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Here, we carried out proteome-wide analysis of Khib in Fusarium graminearum, identifying the reshaping of lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylome by tebuconazole or carbendazim, using the most recently-developed high-resolution LC-MS/MS in combination with high-specific affinity enrichment. In total, 3035 quantifiable Khib sites on 937 proteins were identified. With the criteria of fold changes over 1.3, normalized with total proteins, 1083 Khib sites of 509 proteins were considered as significantly affected by tebuconazole treatment, while 344 Khib sites of 227 proteins were significantly affacted by carbendazim. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis were conducted.
