Aspergillus flavus (A. flavus) is a ubiquitous saprophytic and pathogenic fungus that produces the aflatoxin carcinogen, and A. flavus can have tremendous economic and health impacts worldwide. Increasing evidence demonstrates that lysine succinylation plays an important regulatory role in metabolic processes in both bacterial and human cells. However, little is known about the extent and function of lysine succinylation in A. flavus. Here, we performed a global succinylome analysis of A. flavus using high accuracy nano-LC-MS/MS in combination with the enrichment of succinylated peptides from digested cell lysates and subsequent peptide identification. In total, 985 succinylation sites on 349 succinylated proteins were identified in this pathogen. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that the succinylated proteins were involved in various biological processes and were particularly enriched in the aflatoxin biosynthesis process. Site-specific mutagenesis and biochemical studies showed that lysine succinylation on the norsolorinic acid reductase NorA (AflE), a key enzyme in aflatoxins biosynthesis, can affect the production of sclerotia and aflatoxins biosynthesis in A. flavus. Together, our findings reveal widespread roles for lysine succinylation in regulating metabolism and aflatoxins biosynthesis in A. flavus. Our data provide a rich resource for functional analyses of lysine succinylation and facilitate the dissection of metabolic networks in this pathogen.
