Abstract

Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) and IDH2 are common in multiple types of human cancer, leading to the accumulation of D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D2HG) and the promotion of tumorigenesis. Here we discovered a novel -2-hydroxyglutarylation by D2HG using chemical proteomics and further revealed distinct chiral preferences for D/L2HG modifications. Notably, we identified two kinases, MRCKA and SLK, modified by D2HG and L2HG respectively, and detected reduced phosphorylation of their substrates, suggesting an inhibitory effect of D/L 2HG modifications on the kinases' activity.
