Spiroplasma eriocheiris , the pathogen of Eriocheir sinensis tremor disease (TD), has bring a huge economic loss to China aquaculture. The hemocytes of crab as the first target cells of S. eriocheiris , but the interactive relationship between the E. sinensis and this pathogen not particularly clear. The present study is the first time to analysis the role of protein ubiquitination in the process of E. sinensis hemocytes response S. eriocheiris infection. By applying label-free quantitative liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry proteomics, 950 lysine ubiquitination sites and 803 ubiquitination peptides on 458 proteins were identified, of which 48 ubiquitination sites on 40 proteins were quantified as significantly changed after the S. eriocheiris infection. Bioinformatics analysis of ubiquitination different proteins suggested many biological process and pathways were participated in the interaction between S. eriocheiris and host cell, such as ubiquitin system, endocytosis, prophenoloxidase system (proPO system), cell apoptosis, glycolysis. Our study can enhance our understanding of interaction between the crab and S. eriocheiris , and also provides basis to study the role of protein ubiquitination in other crustacean innate immune system. • The ubiquitin-modified proteome changes of E. sinensis hemocytes after S. eriocheiris infection were obtained. • Forty-eight ubiquitination sites on 40 proteins were quantified as significantly changed after the S. eriocheiris infection. • Ubiquitin system, endocytosis, proPO system, cell apoptosis, glycolysis, etc. were related to the S. eriocheiris infection.
