The Mitochondria-to-Cytosol H₂O₂ Gradient Is Caused by Peroxiredoxin-Dependent Cytosolic Scavenging.

ABSTRACT: Fluorescent protein-based reporters used to measure intracellular H₂O₂ were developed to overcome the limitations of small permeable dyes. The two major families of genetically encoded redox reporters are the reduction-oxidation sensitive green fluorescent protein (roGFP)-based proteins fused to peroxiredoxins and HyPer and derivatives. We have used the most sensitive probes of each family, roGFP2-Tpx1.C169S and HyPer7, to monitor steady-state and fluctuating levels of peroxides in fission yeast. While both are able to monitor the nanomolar fluctuations of intracellular H₂O₂, the former is two-five times more sensitive than HyPer7, and roGFP2-Tpx1.C169S is partially oxidized in the cytosol of wild-type cells while HyPer7 is fully reduced. We have successfully expressed HyPer7 in the mitochondrial matrix, and it is ~40% oxidized, suggesting higher steady-state levels of peroxides, in the low micromolar range, than in the cytosol. Cytosolic HyPer7 can detect negligible H₂O₂ in the cytosol from mitochondrial origin unless the main H₂O₂ scavenger, the cytosolic peroxiredoxin Tpx1, is absent, while mitochondrial HyPer7 is oxidized to the same extent in wild-type and ∆tpx1 cells. We conclude that there is a bidirectional flux of H₂O₂ across the matrix and the cytosol, but Tpx1 rapidly and efficiently scavenges mitochondrial-generated peroxides and stops their steady-state cytosolic levels rising.

H2O2 in plant peroxisomes: an in vivo analysis uncovers a Ca(2+)-dependent scavenging system.

Project description:Oxidative stress is a major challenge for all cells living in an oxygen-based world. Among reactive oxygen species, H2O2, is a well known toxic molecule and, nowadays, considered a specific component of several signalling pathways. In order to gain insight into the roles played by H2O2 in plant cells, it is necessary to have a reliable, specific and non-invasive methodology for its in vivo detection. Hence, the genetically encoded H2O2 sensor HyPer was expressed in plant cells in different subcellular compartments such as cytoplasm and peroxisomes. Moreover, with the use of the new green fluorescent protein (GFP)-based Cameleon Ca2+ indicator, D3cpv-KVK-SKL, targeted to peroxisomes, we demonstrated that the induction of cytoplasmic Ca2+ increase is followed by Ca2+ rise in the peroxisomal lumen. The analyses of HyPer fluorescence ratios were performed in leaf peroxisomes of tobacco and pre- and post-bolting Arabidopsis plants. These analyses allowed us to demonstrate that an intraperoxisomal Ca2+ rise in vivo stimulates catalase activity, increasing peroxisomal H2O2 scavenging efficiency.

Ascorbate glutathione-dependent H2O2 scavenging is an important process in axillary bud outgrowth in rosebush.

Project description:Background and aims:Branching is an important mechanism of plant shape establishment and the direct consequence of axillary bud outgrowth. Recently, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) metabolism, known to be involved in plant growth and development, has been proposed to contribute to axillary bud outgrowth. However, the involvement of H2O2 in this process remains unclear.Methods:We analysed the content of H2O2 during bud outgrowth and characterized its catabolism, both at the transcriptional level and in terms of its enzymatic activities, using RT-qPCR and spectrophotometric methods, respectively. In addition, we used in vitro culture to characterize the effects of H2O2 application and the reduced glutathione (GSH) synthesis inhibitor l-buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) on bud outgrowth in relation to known molecular markers involved in this process.Key results:Quiescent buds displayed a high content of H2O2 that declined when bud outgrowth was initiated, as the consequence of an increase in the scavenging activity that is associated with glutathione pathways (ascorbate-glutathione cycle and glutathione biosynthesis); catalase did not appear to be implicated. Modification of bud redox state after the application of H2O2 or BSO prevented axillary bud outgrowth by repressing organogenesis and newly formed axis elongation. Hydrogen peroxide also repressed bud outgrowth-associated marker gene expression.Conclusions:These results show that high levels of H2O2 in buds that are in a quiescent state prevents bud outgrowth. Induction of ascorbate-glutathione pathway scavenging activities results in a strong decrease in H2O2 content in buds, which finally allows bud outgrowth.

Subcellular redox responses reveal different Cu-dependent antioxidant defenses between mitochondria and cytosol.

Project description:Excess intracellular Cu perturbs cellular redox balance and thus causes diseases. However, the relationship between cellular redox status and Cu homeostasis and how such an interplay is coordinated within cellular compartments has not yet been well established. Using combined approaches of organelle-specific redox sensor Grx1-roGFP2 and non-targeted proteomics, we investigate the real-time Cu-dependent antioxidant defenses of mitochondria and cytosol in live HEK293 cells. The Cu-dependent real-time imaging experiments show that CuCl2 treatment results in increased oxidative stress in both cytosol and mitochondria. In contrast, subsequent excess Cu removal by bathocuproine sulfonate, a Cu chelating reagent, lowers oxidative stress in mitochondria but causes even higher oxidative stress in the cytosol. The proteomic data reveal that several mitochondrial proteins, but not cytosolic ones, undergo significant abundance change under Cu treatments. The proteomic analysis also shows that proteins with significant changes are related to mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and glutathione synthesis. The differences in redox behaviors and protein profiles in different cellular compartments reveal distinct mitochondrial and cytosolic response mechanisms upon Cu-induced oxidative stress. These findings provide insights into how redox and Cu homeostasis interplay by modulating specific protein expressions at the subcellular levels, shedding light on understanding the effects of Cu-induced redox misregulation on the diseases.

Proximity-based protein thiol oxidation by H2O2-scavenging peroxidases.

Project description:H(2)O(2) acts as a signaling molecule by oxidizing critical thiol groups on redox-regulated target proteins. To explain the efficiency and selectivity of H(2)O(2)-based signaling, it has been proposed that oxidation of target proteins may be facilitated by H(2)O(2)-scavenging peroxidases. Recently, a peroxidase-based protein oxidation relay has been identified in yeast, namely the oxidation of the transcription factor Yap1 by the peroxidase Orp1. It has remained unclear whether the protein oxidase function of Orp1 is a singular adaptation or whether it may represent a more general principle. Here we show that Orp1 is in fact not restricted to oxidizing Yap1 but can also form a highly efficient redox relay with the oxidant target protein roGFP (redox-sensitive green fluorescent protein) in mammalian cells. Orp1 mediates near quantitative oxidation of roGFP2 by H(2)O(2), and the Orp1-roGFP2 redox relay effectively converts physiological H(2)O(2) signals into measurable fluorescent signals in living cells. Furthermore, the oxidant relay phenomenon is not restricted to Orp1 as the mammalian peroxidase Gpx4 also mediates oxidation of proximal roGFP2 in living cells. Together, these findings support the concept that certain peroxidases harbor an intrinsic and powerful capacity to act as H(2)O(2)-dependent protein thiol oxidases when they are recruited into proximity of oxidizable target proteins.

Catalase-dependent H2O2 consumption by cardiac mitochondria and redox-mediated loss in insulin signaling.

Project description:We have recently demonstrated that catalase content in mouse cardiac mitochondria is selectively elevated in response to high dietary fat, a nutritional state associated with oxidative stress and loss in insulin signaling. Catalase and various isoforms of glutathione peroxidase and peroxiredoxin each catalyze the consumption of H2O2 Catalase, located primarily within peroxisomes and to a lesser extent mitochondria, has a low binding affinity for H2O2 relative to glutathione peroxidase and peroxiredoxin. As such, the contribution of catalase to mitochondrial H2O2 consumption is not well understood. In the current study, using highly purified cardiac mitochondria challenged with micromolar concentrations of H2O2, we found that catalase contributes significantly to mitochondrial H2O2 consumption. In addition, catalase is solely responsible for removal of H2O2 in nonrespiring or structurally disrupted mitochondria. Finally, in mice fed a high-fat diet, mitochondrial-derived H2O2 is responsible for diminished insulin signaling in the heart as evidenced by reduced insulin-stimulated Akt phosphorylation. While elevated mitochondrial catalase content (?50%) enhanced the capacity of mitochondria to consume H2O2 in response to high dietary fat, the selective increase in catalase did not prevent H2O2-induced loss in cardiac insulin signaling. Taken together, our results indicate that mitochondrial catalase likely functions to preclude the formation of high levels of H2O2 without perturbing redox-dependent signaling.

H2O2-dependent hyperoxidation of peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6) plays a role in cellular toxicity via up-regulation of iPLA2 activity.

Project description:Peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6) is a bifunctional enzyme with peroxidase activity and Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2) activity. Here, we report that H2O2-induced cellular toxicity acts through Prdx6 hyperoxidation. Under high concentrations of H2O2 (> 100 microm), Prdx6, and 2-Cys Prdxs were hyperoxidized. Contrary to hyperoxidation of 2-Cys Prdxs, hyperoxidation of Prdx6 was irreversible in vivo. Surprisingly, H2O2-induced cell cycle arrest at the G2/M transition correlated with hyperoxidation and increased iPLA2 activity of Prdx6. This arrest was also associated with up-regulation of p53 and p21 and with down-regulation of cyclin B1. Furthermore, the H2O2-mediated increase in iPLA2 activity was dramatically abolished in a hyperoxidation mutant (C47A), an iPLA2 mutant (S32A), and a double mutant (C47A/S32A) of Prdx6, demonstrating the essential requirement of Prdx6 C47 hyperoxidation for its iPLA2 activity. Together, our results demonstrate that H2O2-mediated hyperoxidation of Prdx6 induces cell cycle arrest at the G2/M transition through up-regulation of iPLA2 activity.

Increasing extracellular H2O2 produces a bi-phasic response in intracellular H2O2, with peroxiredoxin hyperoxidation only triggered once the cellular H2O2-buffering capacity is overwhelmed.

Project description:Reactive oxygen species, such as H2O2, can damage cells but also promote fundamental processes, including growth, differentiation and migration. The mechanisms allowing cells to differentially respond to toxic or signaling H2O2 levels are poorly defined. Here we reveal that increasing external H2O2 produces a bi-phasic response in intracellular H2O2. Peroxiredoxins (Prx) are abundant peroxidases which protect against genome instability, ageing and cancer. We have developed a dynamic model simulating in vivo changes in Prx oxidation. Remarkably, we show that the thioredoxin peroxidase activity of Prx does not provide any significant protection against external rises in H2O2. Instead, our model and experimental data are consistent with low levels of extracellular H2O2 being efficiently buffered by other thioredoxin-dependent activities, including H2O2-reactive cysteines in the thiol-proteome. We show that when extracellular H2O2 levels overwhelm this buffering capacity, the consequent rise in intracellular H2O2 triggers hyperoxidation of Prx to thioredoxin-resistant, peroxidase-inactive form/s. Accordingly, Prx hyperoxidation signals that H2O2 defenses are breached, diverting thioredoxin to repair damage.

Light-sensing via H2O2 and a peroxiredoxin

Project description:Light controls control a vast array of biological processes, including cell and organelle motility, stress responses, organismal development and the entrainment of circadian rhythms, that maintain diurnal cycles of activity in organisms from cyanobacteria to humans. Recent studies indicate that a type of antioxidant and signaling proteins, peroxiredoxins, sustain circadian rhythms independent of characterized circadian pacemakers in organisms from all the three kingdoms of life, suggesting a role for H2O2 production in circadian clocks. Whereas many circadian clocks involve photosensitive pigments such as melanopsin and cryptochromes it is unclear whether peroxiredoxins can respond to light stimuli and how they interact with global signaling networks regulating e.g. clocks and aging, such as cyclic AMP (cAMP)/protein kinase A (PKA). In yeast, that lacks decidated photoreceptors, blue light induces cAMP-PKA-dependent, nuclear accumulation of a transcription factor, Msn2. However, the mechanism by which light represses pathway activity to stimulate Msn2 nuclear translocation is unknown. Here we identify increased H2O2–production via a conserved peroxisomal oxidase as the cause of light-induced Msn2 nuclear concentration. The H2O2 signal is transduced by the catalytic cysteines of the peroxiredoxin Tsa1 that relieve Msn2 from inhibitory PKA phosphorylation causing its nuclear accumulation. We propose that yeast senses light via H2O2 and a peroxiredoxin to inhibit cAMP/PKA activity and our data form a framework for the study of light responses in cells lacking dedicated light receptors and cAMP-controlled biological rhythms in multicellular organisms.

Hyperoxidation of mitochondrial peroxiredoxin limits H2O2-induced cell death in yeast

Project description:Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays important roles in cellular signalling, yet nonetheless is toxic at higher concentrations. Surprisingly, the mechanism(s) of cellular H2O2 toxicity remain poorly understood. Here, we reveal an important role for mitochondrial 1-Cys peroxiredoxin from budding yeast, Prx1, in regulating H2O2-induced cell death. We show that Prx1 efficiently transfers oxidative equivalents from H2O2 to the mitochondrial glutathione pool. Deletion of PRX1 abrogates glutathione oxidation and leads to a cytosolic adaptive response involving upregulation of the catalase, Ctt1. Both of these effects contribute to improved cell viability following an acute H2O2 challenge. By replacing PRX1 with natural and engineered peroxiredoxin variants, we could predictably induce widely differing matrix glutathione responses to H2O2. Thereby, we demonstrated a key role for matrix glutathione oxidation in driving H2O2-induced cell death. Finally, we reveal that hyperoxidation of Prx1 serves as a switch-off mechanism to limit oxidation of matrix glutathione at high H2O2 concentrations. This enables yeast cells to strike a fine balance between H2O2 removal and limitation of matrix glutathione oxidation.
