摘要： Protein ubiquitination is a dynamic post-translational modification involved in various biological processes in eukaryotes. To understand the function of ubiquitinated proteins in maize kernels, we used the specific K-GG antibody coupled with high-resolution LC-MS/MS to identify the ubiquitinated proteins in maize immature kernels. A total of 1999 lysine ubiquitination sites in 881 proteins were identified in maize kernels. Eight conserved ubiquitination motifs included KubD, GKub, EKub, KubXXXE, AKub, NXKub, KubXXXXXN, and KKub were found in ubiquitinated peptides. The ubiquitinated lysine neighborhoods are more frequently presented in ordered structures. Go and KEGG analysis showed the proteins involved in carbohydrate metabolism and protein processing were identified to be the targets of lysine ubiquitination. Other proteins, which related to RNA transport, spliceosome, endocytosis, ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, proteasome, and MAPK signaling, were also found to be ubiquitinated. Protein-protein interaction network and KEGG analysis indicated that protein ubiquitination plays a major role in regulating many cellular processes and modulating diverse interactions in maize kernel development. The identification of the 881 ubiquitinated proteins in maize kernels provides a foundation for understanding the physiological roles of these ubiquitinated proteins. Our finding also provides a new insight view into the function of ubiquitinated proteins involved in maize kernel development. Significance: We reported here the comprehensive proteomic analysis of the ubiquitin-modified proteome in maize kernel. We found that there are some new characteristics of them in ubiquitome of maize immature kernels. The results suggested that protein ubiquitination, as a post-translation modification, plays an essential role in regulating many cellular processes in maize kernel development. This study expands our knowledge on the regulatory roles and mechanisms of protein ubiquitination in maize. and other plants.
