O-GlcNAcomic Profiling Identifies Widespread O-Linked β-N-Acetylglucosamine Modification (O-GlcNAcylation) in Oxidative Phosphorylation System Regulating Cardiac Mitochondrial Function.

ABSTRACT: Dynamic cycling of O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) on nucleocytoplasmic proteins serves as a nutrient sensor to regulate numerous biological processes. However, mitochondrial protein O-GlcNAcylation and its effects on function are largely unexplored. In this study, we performed a comparative analysis of the proteome and O-GlcNAcome of cardiac mitochondria from rats acutely (12 h) treated without or with thiamet-G (TMG), a potent and specific inhibitor of O-GlcNAcase. We then determined the functional consequences in mitochondria isolated from the two groups. O-GlcNAcomic profiling finds that over 88 mitochondrial proteins are O-GlcNAcylated, with the oxidative phosphorylation system as a major target. Moreover, in comparison with controls, cardiac mitochondria from TMG-treated rats did not exhibit altered protein abundance but showed overall elevated O-GlcNAcylation of many proteins. However, O-GlcNAc was unexpectedly down-regulated at certain sites of specific proteins. Concomitantly, TMG treatment resulted in significantly increased mitochondrial oxygen consumption rates, ATP production rates, and enhanced threshold for permeability transition pore opening by Ca(2+). Our data reveal widespread and dynamic mitochondrial protein O-GlcNAcylation, serving as a regulator to their function.

Project description:Insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) is a highly phosphorylated adaptor protein critical to insulin and IGF-1 receptor signaling. Ser/Thr kinases impact the metabolic and mitogenic effects elicited by insulin and IGF-1 through feedback and feed forward regulation at the level of IRS-1. Ser/Thr residues of IRS-1 are also O-GlcNAc-modified, which may influence the phosphorylation status of the protein. To facilitate the understanding of the functional effects of O-GlcNAc modification on IRS-1-mediated signaling, we identified the sites of O-GlcNAc modification of rat and human IRS-1. Tandem mass spectrometric analysis of IRS-1, exogenously expressed in HEK293 cells, revealed that the C terminus, which is rich in docking sites for SH2 domain-containing proteins, was O-GlcNAc-modified at multiple residues. Rat IRS-1 was O-GlcNAc-modified at Ser(914), Ser(1009), Ser(1036), and Ser(1041). Human IRS-1 was O-GlcNAc-modified at Ser(984) or Ser(985), at Ser(1011), and possibly at multiple sites within residues 1025-1045. O-GlcNAc modification at a conserved residue in rat (Ser(1009)) and human (Ser(1011)) IRS-1 is adjacent to a putative binding motif for the N-terminal SH2 domains of p85alpha and p85beta regulatory subunits of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and the tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 (PTPN11). Immunoblot analysis using an antibody generated against human IRS-1 Ser(1011) GlcNAc further confirmed the site of attachment and the identity of the +203.2-Da mass shift as beta-N-acetylglucosamine. The accumulation of IRS-1 Ser(1011) GlcNAc in HEPG2 liver cells and MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts upon inhibition of O-GlcNAcase indicates that O-GlcNAcylation of endogenously expressed IRS-1 is a dynamic process that occurs at normal glucose concentrations (5 mm). O-GlcNAc modification did not occur at any known or newly identified Ser/Thr phosphorylation sites and in most cases occurred simultaneously with phosphorylation of nearby residues. These findings suggest that O-GlcNAc modification represents an additional layer of posttranslational regulation that may impact the specificity of effects elicited by insulin and IGF-1.
