Acetylation
This process plays a critical role in regulating various cellular processes, such as gene expression, protein function, and signal transduction.
Acetylation can alter the structure, stability, and localization of proteins, influencing their interactions and activity.
Understanding the mechanisms and consequences of acetylation is crucial for researchers studying a wide range of biological and medical phenomena, including epigenetics, metabolism, and disease pathogenesis.

Characterization of Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion of Oral [14C]Vorasidenib with Concomitant Intravenous Microdose Administration of [13C315N3]Vorasidenib in Humans
Metabolite profiling and identification of vorasidenib (AG-881) was performed in plasma, urine, and fecal samples collected from five healthy subjects after a single 50-mg (100 μCi) oral dose of [14C]AG-881 and concomitant intravenous microdose of [13C3 15N3]AG-881.
Plasma samples collected at selected time points from 0 through 336 hour postdose were pooled across subjects to generate 0—to 72 and 96-336-hour area under the concentration-time curve (AUC)-representative samples. Urine and feces samples were pooled by subject to generate individual urine and fecal pools. Plasma, urine, and feces samples were extracted, as appropriate, the extracts were profiled using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and metabolites were identified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS and/or LC-MS/MS) analysis and by comparison of retention time with reference standards, when available.
Due to low radioactivity in samples, plasma metabolite profiling was performed by using accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). In plasma, AG-881 was accounted for 66.24 and 29.47% of the total radioactivity in the pooled AUC0-72 h and AUC96-336 h plasma, respectively. The most abundant radioactive peak (P7; M458) represented 0.10 and 43.92% of total radioactivity for pooled AUC0-72 and AUC96-336 h plasma, respectively. All other radioactive peaks accounted for less than 6% of the total plasma radioactivity and were not identified.
The majority of the radioactivity recovered in feces was associated with unchanged AG-881 (55.5% of the dose), while no AG-881 was detected in urine. In comparison, metabolites in excreta accounted for approximately 18% of dose in feces and for approximately 4% of dose in urine. M515, M460-1, M499, M516/M460-2, and M472/M476 were the most abundant metabolites in feces, and each accounted for approximately 2 to 5% of the radioactive dose, while M266 was the most abundant metabolite identified in urine and accounted for a mean of 2.54% of the dose. The remaining radioactive components in urine and feces each accounted for <1% of the dose.
Overall, the data presented indicate [14C]AG-881 underwent moderate metabolism after a single oral dose of 50-mg (100 μCi) and was eliminated in humans via a combination of metabolism and excretion of unchanged parent. AG-881 metabolism involved the oxidation and conjugation with glutathione (GSH) by displacement of the chlorine at the chloropyridine moiety. Subsequent biotransformation of GSH intermediates resulted in elimination of both glutamic acid and glycine to form the cysteinyl conjugates (M515 and M499). The cysteinyl conjugates were further converted by a series of biotransformation reactions such as oxidation, S-dealkylation, S-methylation, S-oxidation, S-acetylation and N-dealkylation resulting in the formation multiple metabolites.

Once the molecular weight distributions were determined, low and high molecular weight fractions that composed the crude EPS obtained at 20°C were separated. For this purpose, EPS solutions (0.2% w/v) were centrifuged through a Vivaspin™ ultrafiltration spin column 100 KDa MWCO, (Sartorious, Goettingen, Germany) for 20 min at 6000 g, eluting only the low MW fraction. Subsequently, high MW fraction retained in the column was eluted using hot distilled water. The eluted fractions were passed through a Vivaspin column (cut-off 30KDa) in order to separate the middle and low MW fraction of EPS.
Monosaccharide composition of crude EPS and their fractions were determined by gas chromatography as previously described (Notararigo et al., 2013 (link)). Briefly, 1–2 mg of EPS were hydrolyzed in 1 mL of 3 M trifluoroacetic acid (1 h at 120°C). The monosaccharides obtained were converted into alditol acetates by reduction with NaBH4 and subsequent acetylation. The samples were analyzed by gas chromatography in an Agilent 7890A coupled to a 5975C mass detector, using an HP5-MS column with helium as carrier gas at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. For each run, 1 μL of sample was injected (with a Split 1:50) and the following temperature program was performed: the oven was heat to 175°C for 1 min; the temperature was increased to 215°C at a rate of 2.5°C/min and then increased to 225°C at 10°C/min, keeping it constant at this temperature for 1.5 min. Monosaccharides were identified by comparison of retention times with standards (arabinose, xylose, rhamnose, galactose, glucose, mannose, glucosamine and galactosamine) analyzed under the same conditions. Calibration curves were also processed for monosaccharide quantification. Myo-inositol was added to each sample as internal standard.
Proteomic expression data were analyzed in R (3.6.0) with the Bioconductor package DEP (1.6.1) (Zhang et al., 2018 (link)). To aid in the imputation of missing values only those proteins that are identified in all replicates of at least one condition were retained for analysis. The filtered proteomic data were normalized by variance stabilizing transformation. Following normalization, data missing at random, such as proteins quantified in some replicates but not in others, were imputed using the k-nearest neighbour approach. For differential expression analysis between the wild-type and mutant groups, protein-wise linear models combined with empirical Bayes statistics were run using the Bioconductor package limma (3.40.6) (Ritchie et al., 2015 (link)). Significantly differentially expressed proteins were defined by an FDR cutoff of 0.05. Total proteomic data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD031920 and are summarized in
an automatic peptide synthesizer (Syro I, Biotage) by using a Rink-amide
resin and Fmoc chemistry. The Fmoc deprotection was carried out with
25% piperidine in DMF/NMP (70:30, v/v) for 3 min and 12.5% piperidine
in DMF/NMP (70:30, v/v) for 12 min. The couplings were accomplished
with the mixture Fmoc-AA-OH/HOBt/HBTU/DIPEA (5:5:4.8:10 equiv) for
2 × 40 min. N-terminal acetylation was performed manually with
acetic anhydride/DIPEA (10:10 equiv) in DMF for 30 min. The peptides
were cleaved from the resin with TFA/H2O/TIA/EDT/TIS (90:1:3:3:3; Vtot = 1 mL) for about 3 h, precipitated by ice-cold
diethyl ether, and recovered by centrifugation at 4 °C for 5
min. The homogeneity and identity of the lyophilized peptides were
assessed by analytical HPLC (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and MALDI-TOF-MS
(Bruker Daltonics) (
