Isoform-specific Roles of Prolyl Hydroxylases in the Regulation of Pancreatic β-Cell Function.

ABSTRACT: Pancreatic β-cells can secrete insulin via 2 pathways characterized as KATP channel -dependent and -independent. The KATP channel-independent pathway is characterized by a rise in several potential metabolic signaling molecules, including the NADPH/NADP+ ratio and α-ketoglutarate (αKG). Prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs), which belong to the αKG-dependent dioxygenase superfamily, are known to regulate the stability of hypoxia-inducible factor α. In the current study, we assess the role of PHDs in vivo using the pharmacological inhibitor dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG) and generated β-cell-specific knockout (KO) mice for all 3 isoforms of PHD (β-PHD1 KO, β-PHD2 KO, and β-PHD3 KO mice). DMOG inhibited in vivo insulin secretion in response to glucose challenge and inhibited the first phase of insulin secretion but enhanced the second phase of insulin secretion in isolated islets. None of the β-PHD KO mice showed any significant in vivo defects associated with glucose tolerance and insulin resistance except for β-PHD2 KO mice which had significantly increased plasma insulin during a glucose challenge. Islets from both β-PHD1 KO and β-PHD3 KO had elevated β-cell apoptosis and reduced β-cell mass. Isolated islets from β-PHD1 KO and β-PHD3 KO had impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and glucose-stimulated increases in the ATP/ADP and NADPH/NADP+ ratio. All 3 PHD isoforms are expressed in β-cells, with PHD3 showing the most distinct expression pattern. The lack of each PHD protein did not significantly impair in vivo glucose homeostasis. However, β-PHD1 KO and β-PHD3 KO mice had defective β-cell mass and islet insulin secretion, suggesting that these mice may be predisposed to developing diabetes.

Project description:The hydroxylation of proline residues to 4-trans-hydroxyproline (Hyp) is a common post-translational protein modification in plants, mediated by prolyl 4-hydroxylases (P4Hs). Hyps predominantly occur in a group of cell wall proteins, the Hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs), where they are frequently O-glycosylated. While prolyl-hydroxylation and O-glycosylation are important, e.g. for cell wall stability, they are not desirable in plant-made pharmaceuticals. Sequence motifs recognized for prolyl-hydroxylation derived from vascular plants were proposed but did not include data from mosses, such as Physcomitrella. Here, a phylogenetic reconstruction of plant P4Hs identified six P4Hs in four subfamilies in mosses. We analysed the amino acid sequences and structural environments around Hyps in Physcomitrella utilizing 73 Hyp sites in 24 secretory proteins from multiple MS/MS datasets, and found that prolines in close proximity to other prolines, alanine, serine, threonine and valine were preferentially hydroxylated. About 95 % of the Hyp sites were predictable with a combination of previously defined motifs and methods. In our data, AOV (Ala-Hyp-Val) was the most frequent prolyl-hydroxylation pattern. Additionally, short arabinose chains were attached to Hyps in two cell-wall pectinesterases. A combination of 443 AlphaFold structure models and our MS data of peptides with nearly 3000 proline sites found Hyps predominantly on protein surfaces in disordered regions. Moss-produced human erythropoietin (EPO) exhibited plant-specific O-glycosylation with arabinose chains on two Hyps. This modification was significantly reduced in a P4H1 single knock-out (KO) Physcomitrella mutant. Quantitative proteomics after isotope labelling with different P4H-KO moss mutants revealed specific changes in the amount of proteins, including HRGPs, and a modified prolyl-hydroxylation pattern from the mutants, suggesting a differential function of the six Physcomitrella P4Hs. Quantitative RT-PCR proved a differential effect of single P4H KOs on the expression of the other five p4h genes, suggesting a partial compensation of the mutation. AlphaFold-Multimer models for Physcomitrella P4H1 and its target EPO peptide superposed with the crystal structure of Chlamydomonas P4H1 and a peptide substrate suggested significant amino acids in the active centre of the enzyme that form H-bonds with the peptide substrate, and revealed differences between P4H1 and the other five Physcomitrella P4Hs.
