The mitochondrial carrier SFXN1 is critical for complex III integrity and cellular metabolism.

ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial carriers (MCs) mediate the passage of small molecules across the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM), enabling regulated crosstalk between compartmentalized reactions. Despite MCs representing the largest family of solute carriers in mammals, most have not been subjected to a comprehensive investigation, limiting our understanding of their metabolic contributions. Here, we functionally characterize SFXN1, a member of the non-canonical, sideroflexin family. We find that SFXN1, an integral IMM protein with an uneven number of transmembrane domains, is a TIM22 complex substrate. SFXN1 deficiency leads to mitochondrial respiratory chain impairments, most detrimental to complex III (CIII) biogenesis, activity, and assembly, compromising coenzyme Q levels. The CIII dysfunction is independent of one-carbon metabolism, the known primary role for SFXN1 as a mitochondrial serine transporter. Instead, SFXN1 supports CIII function by participating in heme and α-ketoglutarate metabolism. Our findings highlight the multiple ways that SFXN1-based amino acid transport impacts mitochondrial and cellular metabolic efficiency.

The mitochondrial transporter SFXN1 is critical for Complex III integrity and cellular metabolism

Project description:Mutations in acylglycerol kinase (AGK) leads to Sengers syndrome, a rare disease characterized by skeletal myopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and cataracts. AGK, in vitro, produces lysophosphatidic acid and phosphatidic acid via phosphorylation of monoacylglycerol and diacylglycerol, accordingly. AGK is also a component of the TIM22 import machinery in the inner mitochondrial membrane and, independent of its kinase activity, has been shown to mediate the import of mitochondrial carrier family (SLC25) members. We compared the proteomes of mitochondria from HEK293 WT and AGK KO cells in order to identify additional candidate substrates of the TIM22 translocase that relies on AGK.

Mitochondrial topoisomerase I is critical for mitochondrial integrity and cellular energy metabolism.

Project description:BackgroundMitochondria contain their own DNA genome (mtDNA), as well as specific DNA replication and protein synthesis machineries. Relaxation of the circular, double-stranded mtDNA relies on the presence of topoisomerase activity. Three different topoisomerases have been identified in mitochondria: Top1mt, Top3α and a truncated form of Top2β.Methodology/principal findingsThe present study shows the importance of Top1mt in mitochondrial homeostasis. Here we show that Top1mt-/- murine embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) exhibit dysfunctional mitochondrial respiration, which leads decreased ATP production and compensation by increased glycolysis and fatty acid oxidation. ROS production in Top1mt-/- MEF cells is involved in nuclear DNA damage and induction of autophagy. Lack of Top1mt also triggers oxidative stress and DNA damage associated with lipid peroxidation and mitophagy in Top1mt-/- mice.Conclusion/significanceTogether, our data implicate Top1mt for mitochondrial integrity and energy metabolism. The compensation mechanism described here contributes to the survival of Top1mt-/- cells and mice despite alterations of mitochondrial functions and metabolism. Therefore, this study supports a novel model for cellular adaptation to mitochondrial damage.

PGC1s and Beyond: Disentangling the Complex Regulation of Mitochondrial and Cellular Metabolism.

Project description:Metabolism is the central engine of living organisms as it provides energy and building blocks for many essential components of each cell, which are required for specific functions in different tissues. Mitochondria are the main site for energy production in living organisms and they also provide intermediate metabolites required for the synthesis of other biologically relevant molecules. Such cellular processes are finely tuned at different levels, including allosteric regulation, posttranslational modifications, and transcription of genes encoding key proteins in metabolic pathways. Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ coactivator 1 (PGC1) proteins are transcriptional coactivators involved in the regulation of many cellular processes, mostly ascribable to metabolic pathways. Here, we will discuss some aspects of the cellular processes regulated by PGC1s, bringing up some examples of their role in mitochondrial and cellular metabolism, and how metabolic regulation in mitochondria by members of the PGC1 family affects the immune system. We will analyze how PGC1 proteins are regulated at the transcriptional and posttranslational level and will also examine other regulators of mitochondrial metabolism and the related cellular functions, considering approaches to identify novel mitochondrial regulators and their role in physiology and disease. Finally, we will analyze possible therapeutical perspectives currently under assessment that are applicable to different disease states.

Mitochondrial Integrity Is Critical in Right Heart Failure Development.

Project description:Molecular processes underlying right ventricular (RV) dysfunction (RVD) and right heart failure (RHF) need to be understood to develop tailored therapies for the abatement of mortality of a growing patient population. Today, the armament to combat RHF is poor, despite the advancing identification of pathomechanistic processes. Mitochondrial dysfunction implying diminished energy yield, the enhanced release of reactive oxygen species, and inefficient substrate metabolism emerges as a potentially significant cardiomyocyte subcellular protagonist in RHF development. Dependent on the course of the disease, mitochondrial biogenesis, substrate utilization, redox balance, and oxidative phosphorylation are affected. The objective of this review is to comprehensively analyze the current knowledge on mitochondrial dysregulation in preclinical and clinical RVD and RHF and to decipher the relationship between mitochondrial processes and the functional aspects of the right ventricle (RV).

The Multifaceted Pyruvate Metabolism: Role of the Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier.

Project description:Pyruvate, the end product of glycolysis, plays a major role in cell metabolism. Produced in the cytosol, it is oxidized in the mitochondria where it fuels the citric acid cycle and boosts oxidative phosphorylation. Its sole entry point into mitochondria is through the recently identified mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC). In this review, we report the latest findings on the physiology of the MPC and we discuss how a dysfunctional MPC can lead to diverse pathologies, including neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic disorders, and cancer.

Impact of mitochondrial citrate carrier expression on metabolism in the developing heart

Project description:Slc25a1 encodes for the mitochondrial citrate carrier, a mitochondrial inner membrane transporter that mediates mitochondrial citrate export. Systemic deletion of Slc25a1 (both homozygous and heterozygous loss) leads to cardiac structural defects and mitochondrial dysfunction. Transcriptomic profiles of metabolic gene expression in the the developing mouse heart at E17.5 reveal alterations in metabolic pathways including oxdiative phosphorylation, supporting mitochondrial structural and functional defects observed with loss of this transporter.

A Chemical Proteomic Probe for the Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier Complex.

Project description:Target engagement assays are crucial for establishing the mechanism-of-action of small molecules in living systems. Integral membrane transporters can present a challenging protein class for assessing cellular engagement by small molecules. The chemical proteomic discovery of alpha-chloroacetamide (?CA) compounds that covalently modify cysteine-54 (C54) of the MPC2 subunit of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) is presented. This finding is used to create an alkyne-modified ?CA, YY4-yne, that serves as a cellular engagement probe for MPC2 in click chemistry-enabled western blotting or global mass spectrometry-based proteomic experiments. Studies with YY4-yne revealed that UK-5099, an alpha-cyanocinnamate inhibitor of the MPC complex, engages MPC2 with remarkable selectivity in human cells. These findings support a model where UK-5099 inhibits the MPC complex by binding to C54 of MPC2 in a covalent reversible manner that can be quantified in cells using the YY4-yne probe.

Cardiolipin, a critical determinant of mitochondrial carrier protein assembly and function.

Project description:The ability of phospholipids to act as determinants of membrane protein structure and function is probably best exemplified by cardiolipin (CL), the signature phospholipid of mitochondria. Early efforts to reconstitute individual respiratory complexes and members of the mitochondrial carrier family, most notably the ADP/ATP carrier (AAC), often demonstrated the importance of CL. Over the past decade, the significance of CL in the organization of components of the electron transport chain into higher order assemblies, termed respiratory supercomplexes, has been established. Another protein required for oxidative phosphorylation, AAC, has received comparatively little attention likely stemming from the fact that AACs were thought to function in isolation as either homodimers or monomers. Recently however, AACs have been demonstrated to interact with the respiratory supercomplex, other members of the mitochondrial carrier family, and the TIM23 translocon. Interestingly, many if not all of these interactions depend on CL. As the paradigm for the mitochondrial carrier family, these discoveries with AAC suggest that other members of this large group of important proteins may be more gregarious than anticipated. Moreover, it is proposed that AAC and perhaps additional members of the mitochondrial carrier family might represent downstream targets of pathological states involving alterations in CL.

Suppressors of superoxide production from mitochondrial complex III.

Project description:Mitochondrial electron transport drives ATP synthesis but also generates reactive oxygen species, which are both cellular signals and damaging oxidants. Superoxide production by respiratory complex III is implicated in diverse signaling events and pathologies, but its role remains controversial. Using high-throughput screening, we identified compounds that selectively eliminate superoxide production by complex III without altering oxidative phosphorylation; they modulate retrograde signaling including cellular responses to hypoxic and oxidative stress.

Mitochondrial complex III ROS regulate adipocyte differentiation.

Project description:Adipocyte differentiation is characterized by an increase in mitochondrial metabolism. However, it is not known whether the increase in mitochondrial metabolism is essential for differentiation or a byproduct of the differentiation process. Here, we report that primary human mesenchymal stem cells undergoing differentiation into adipocytes display an early increase in mitochondrial metabolism, biogenesis, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. This early increase in mitochondrial metabolism and ROS generation was dependent on mTORC1 signaling. Mitochondrial-targeted antioxidants inhibited adipocyte differentiation, which was rescued by the addition of exogenous hydrogen peroxide. Genetic manipulation of mitochondrial complex III revealed that ROS generated from this complex is required to initiate adipocyte differentiation. These results indicate that mitochondrial metabolism and ROS generation are not simply a consequence of differentiation but are a causal factor in promoting adipocyte differentiation.
