Article Title: Succinylation regulates boar sperm linear motility via reprogramming glucose metabolism

doi: 10.1038/s42003-025-08775-5

Figure Lengend Snippet: Succinylation of PKM2 reduces its enzymatic activity, inhibits the glycolysis pathway in sperm, and enhances enzymes activity involved in the NADPH-producing pentose phosphate pathway. The succinylation-mediated mitochondrial translocation of PKM2 in boar sperm increases mitochondrial permeability through interaction with VDAC3, thereby stimulating OXPHOS to generate ATP and sustain high linear sperm motility. Furthermore, Sirt5 modulates PKM2 succinylation levels through its desuccinylase activity to maintain an optimal equilibrium between glycolysis pathway and OXPHOS.

Figure Lengend Snippet: KEGG pathway clustering analysis of different comparison groups, the PPI network of differentially lactylated proteins in the pathways of interest, and verification of Vdac3 protein lactylation modifications. (A) Heatmap of lactylation sites for 12 key proteins. Each row represents a differentially modification site; each column represents a sample. Red indicates a high-level modification, blue indicates a low-level modification, and grey indicates sites that cannot be quantified in the corresponding samples. (B) The horizontal axis depicts different comparison groups, whereas the vertical axis indicates the enriched KEGG pathways. The colored blocks represent the functional descriptions of differentially expressed modified proteins enriched in each comparison group. Blue signifies high enrichment significance, whereas blue-white signifies low enrichment significance. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Analysis of lactylation site motifs in different groups and representative mass spectra of key proteins. (A) A heatmap of amino acids adjacent to lysine lactylation sites, with a green/red scale (−5 to 5) indicating the frequency of amino acid detection; red indicates high frequency; green indicates low frequency. The height ratio of amino acid abbreviation letters at specific positions reflects motif characteristics, with a % difference greater than 0 indicating a higher frequency of that amino acid at that position compared to the background, and less than 0 indicating a lower frequency. (B) Four conserved motif sites of lysine. (C) Sequence motif map of lactylation modification, 10 amino acids upstream and downstream of the modification site were selected, and the vertical axis indicates the difference between the proportion of the various amino acids at the same site in the experimental data set and the reference background, that is, percentage difference (%difference). The height ratio of amino acid abbreviation letters at specific positions represents the motif characteristics, and a %difference greater than 0 indicates that the frequency of the amino acid at this position is higher than the background. Values lower than 0 indicate that the frequency of the amino acid at this position is lower than the background. (D–F) The lactylation site of Vdac3 was identified by mass spectrometry. PPI, protein–protein interaction; 4-VO, four-vessel occlusion; EA, electroacupuncture.
