Histone dopaminylation is a newly identified epigenetic mark that plays a role in the regulation of gene transcription, where an isopeptide bond is formed between the fifth amino acid residue of H3 ( i.e. , glutamine) and dopamine. In our previous studies, we discovered that the dynamics of this post-translational modification (including installation, removal, and replacement) were regulated by a single enzyme, transglutaminase 2 (TGM2), through reversible transamination. Recently, we developed a chemical probe to specifically label and enrich histone dopaminylation via bioorthogonal chemistry. Given this powerful tool, we found that histone H3 glutamine 5 dopaminylation (H3Q5dop) was highly enriched in colorectal tumors, which could be attributed to the high expression level of TGM2 in colon cancer cells. Due to the enzyme promiscuity of TGM2, non-histone proteins have also been identified as targets of dopaminylation on glutamine residues, however, the dopaminylated proteome in cancer cells still remains elusive. Here, we utilized our chemical probe to enrich dopaminylated proteins from colorectal cancer cells in a bioorthogonal manner and performed the chemical proteomics analysis. Therefore, 425 dopaminylated proteins were identified, many of which are involved in nucleic acid metabolism and transcription pathways. More importantly, a number of modification sites of these dopaminylated proteins were identified, attributed to the successful application of our chemical probe. Overall, these findings shed light on the significant association between cellular protein dopaminylation and cancer development, further suggesting that to block the installation of protein dopaminylation may become a promising anti-cancer strategy.
