Phosphoproteome analysis of functional mitochondria isolated from resting human muscle reveals extensive phosphorylation of inner membrane protein complexes and enzymes.

ABSTRACT: Mitochondria play a central role in energy metabolism and cellular survival, and consequently mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with a number of human pathologies. Reversible protein phosphorylation emerges as a central mechanism in the regulation of several mitochondrial processes. In skeletal muscle, mitochondrial dysfunction is linked to insulin resistance in humans with obesity and type 2 diabetes. We performed a phosphoproteomics study of functional mitochondria isolated from human muscle biopsies with the aim to obtain a comprehensive overview of mitochondrial phosphoproteins. Combining an efficient mitochondrial isolation protocol with several different phosphopeptide enrichment techniques and LC-MS/MS, we identified 155 distinct phosphorylation sites in 77 mitochondrial phosphoproteins, including 116 phosphoserine, 23 phosphothreonine, and 16 phosphotyrosine residues. The relatively high number of phosphotyrosine residues suggests an important role for tyrosine phosphorylation in mitochondrial signaling. Many of the mitochondrial phosphoproteins are involved in oxidative phosphorylation, tricarboxylic acid cycle, and lipid metabolism, i.e. processes proposed to be involved in insulin resistance. We also assigned phosphorylation sites in mitochondrial proteins involved in amino acid degradation, importers and transporters, calcium homeostasis, and apoptosis. Bioinformatics analysis of kinase motifs revealed that many of these mitochondrial phosphoproteins are substrates for protein kinase A, protein kinase C, casein kinase II, and DNA-dependent protein kinase. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of performing phosphoproteome analysis of organelles isolated from human tissue and provide novel targets for functional studies of reversible phosphorylation in mitochondria. Future comparative phosphoproteome analysis of mitochondria from healthy and diseased individuals will provide insights into the role of abnormal phosphorylation in pathologies, such as type 2 diabetes.

Project description:1. Marker enzymes for the mitochondrial matrix, inner membrane, inter-membrane space and outer membrane were measured in mitochondria isolated from control and regenerating rat liver. The specific activity of these enzymes was then followed for up to 30 days after operation. 2. The specific activity of marker enzymes for the matrix, inner membrane and inter-membrane space remained constant during liver regeneration. 3. However, the specific activities of monoamine oxidase and kynurenine hydroxylase, both outer-membrane markers, fell by 67% and 49% respectively from their control values at 4 days after operation, and returned to normal by about 3 weeks. 4. The repression of kynurenine hydroxylase activity was shown to be unrelated to any independent variation in tryptophan catabolism, based on tryptophan pyrrolase assays. 5. These results are considered to indicate that enzymes of the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes are synthesized asynchronously during morphogenesis. 6. The enzyme complement of purified outer membrane at 4 days after operation was about 50% of that of the appropriate control. Thus the composition of the outer membrane itself may vary dramatically, and supports the concept that constitutive enzymes may turn over independently of a membrane's existence. 7. The behaviour of the rotenone-insensitive, NADH cytochrome c reductase did not parallel the other outer-membrane enzymes for intact mitochondria, but did so when assayed in highly purified fractions of outer membrane. This suggests a labile binding to the outer membrane during the early stages of morphogenesis. 8. Electrophoresis of inner- and outer-membrane proteins revealed little difference between control and experimental mitochondria at 4 days, except for an increase in several, high-molecular-weight components of the outer membrane. These bands closely correspond to similar bands derived from smooth endoplasmic reticulum. 9. The results are discussed in relation to the biogenesis and turnover of mitochondria, and are considered to provide evidence for turnover as a unit, at least for the matrix, inner membrane, inter-membrane space and possibly some form of primary outer membrane.

Project description:1. The organic mercurial sodium mersalyl, formaldehyde, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and tributyltin each blocked respiratory-chain-linked ATP synthesis in rat liver mitochondria. 2. Mersalyl and formaldehyde also blocked a number of other processes dependent on the entry of inorganic phosphate into mitochondria, including mitochondrial respiration and swelling stimulated by cations and phosphate, the substrate-level phosphorylation reaction of the citric acid cycle, and swelling in ammonium phosphate. 3. Dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide and tributyltin did not inhibit the entry of phosphate into mitochondria. 4. Mersalyl and formaldehyde had a relatively slight effect on succinate oxidation and swelling stimulated by cations when phosphate was replaced by acetate, on succinate oxidation stimulated by uncoupling agents, and on swelling in solutions of ammonium salts other than phosphate or arsenate. 5. Formaldehyde blocked the oxidation of NAD-linked substrates in mitochondria treated with 2,4-dinitrophenol and the ATP-dependent reduction of NAD by succinate catalysed by ox heart submitochondrial particles. Both these effects appear to be due to an inhibition by formaldehyde of the NAD-flavin region of the respiratory chain. 6. Concentrations of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide or tributyltin sufficient to abolish ADP-stimulated respiration blocked the dinitrophenol-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase activity, whereas mersalyl and formaldehyde caused only partial inhibition of ATP hydrolysis. 7. When mitochondria were incubated with dinitrophenol and ATP, less than 10% of the total inorganic phosphate liberated was recovered in the mitochondria and no swelling occurred. In the presence of mersalyl or formaldehyde at least 80% of the total inorganic phosphate liberated was retained in the mitochondria and extensive swelling was observed. This swelling was inhibited by oligomycin but not by antimycin or rotenone. 8. The addition of mersalyl to mitochondria swollen by treatment with valinomycin, K(+) and phosphate blocked the contraction induced by dinitrophenol and caused an increase in the phosphate content of the mitochondria, but had no effect on the contraction of mitochondria when phosphate was replaced by acetate. 9. It is concluded that mitochondria contain a phosphate-transporter system, which catalyses the movement of phosphate in either direction across the mitochondrial membrane, and that this system is inactivated by organic mercurials and by formaldehyde. Evidence is presented that the phosphate-transporter system is situated in the inner membrane of rat liver mitochondria and is also present in other types of mammalian mitochondria.
