Rat tissue concentrations of branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex. Re-evaluation by immunoassay and bioassay.

ABSTRACT: A rabbit polyclonal antibody to purified ox kidney branched-chain oxo acid dehydrogenase complex was shown by a variety of techniques to be an antibody to the E2 (acyltransferase) component. Rocket immunoelectrophoresis showed that the antibody does not discriminate between phosphorylated (inactive) or dephosphorylated (active) complex, and the same technique is used to assay total branched-chain complex (sum of active and inactive forms) in rat liver and heart mitochondrial extracts. The values obtained in normal rats fed on normal diet were comparable with those obtained by spectrophotometric assay of the holocomplex reaction after conversion of inactive complex into active complex. The values obtained in liver mitochondria from rats fed on 0%-casein diet or starved for 48 h were comparable with those in rats fed on normal diet, whereas earlier studies using spectrophotometric assay had shown substantial decreases in rats fed on 0%-casein diet or starved for 48 h. It has been shown that conversion of inactive complex into active complex requires prolonged incubation (120 min) in the presence of ketoleucine (4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate; to inhibit branched-chain oxo acid dehydrogenase kinase) to effect complete conversion in mitochondria from rats fed on 0%-casein diet, or starved for 48 h, or made diabetic with alloxan. By this technique, total activity of the complex in rat liver mitochondria was unaffected by diet or diabetes. The effects of diet and diabetes to decrease the activity of branched-chain complex in rat liver are therefore apparently mediated wholly through inactivation of the complex by phosphorylation.

Reversible ATP-induced inactivation of branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase.

Project description:The branched chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase from rat skeletal muscle, heart, kidney and liver mitochondria can undergo a reversible activation-inactivation cycle in vitro. Similar results were obtained with the enzyme from kidney mitochondria of pig and cow. The dehydrogenase is markedly inhibited by ATP and the inhibition is not reversed by removing the nucleotide. The non-metabolizable ATP analogue adenosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido] triphosphate can block the effect of ATP when added with the nucleotide, but has no effect by itself, nor can it reverse the inhibition in mitochondria preincubated with ATP. These findings suggest that the branched chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase undergoes a stable modification that requires the splitting of the ATP gamma-phosphate group. In skeletal muscle mitochondria the rate of inhibition by ATP is decreased by oxo acid substrates and enhanced by NADH. The dehydrogenase can be reactivated 10-20 fold by incubation at pH 7.8 in a buffer containing Mg2+ and cofactors. Reactivation is blocked by NaF (25 mM). The initial activity of dehydrogenase extracted from various tissues of fed rats varies considerably. Activity is near maximal in kidney and liver whereas the dehydrogenase in heart and skeletal muscle is almost completely inactivated. These studies emphasize that comparisons of branched chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase activity under various physiological conditions or in different tissues must take into account its state of activation. Thus the possibility exists that the branched chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase may be physiologically regulated via a covalent mechanism.

Developmental changes in rat liver branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase.

Project description:Branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase catalyses the first irreversible step in the degradation of the branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine. With specifically labelled 4-methyl-2-oxo[1-14C]pentanoate as substrate, the enzyme's activity was measured in rat liver homogenates. Activity (per g wet wL of liver or per mg of protein) increased most rapidly during the perinatal period (2 days before to 1 day after birth), reaching approximately adult values by the time of weaning. The apparent Vmax, of the enzyme increased with age, but its Km appeared unchanged. The data suggest that hepatic branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase is induced or activated during the perinatal period. The enzyme's activity at birth was unaffected by maternal diabetes, or by treating the mother with pharmacological doses of corticosterone or 3,3',5-tri-iodothyronine, during the last 5 days of pregnancy.

Insulin regulation of the activity and phosphorylation of branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase in adipose tissue.

Project description:The activity of the intramitochondrial branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase (BCDH), like that of pyruvate dehydrogenase, is regulated, at least in part, by interconversion between the active dephosphorylated enzyme and its inactive phosphorylated form. The stimulatory effect of insulin on BCDH activity was compared with its effect on phosphorylation of the enzyme. Intact tissues were incubated in the presence or the absence of insulin, and then mitochondria were isolated and disrupted before assaying for enzyme activity or estimating the extent of enzyme phosphorylation. Tissues were incubated in either the presence or the absence of leucine, which also stimulated BCDH activity up to 10-fold. Insulin (1 munit/ml) doubled the activity of BCDH in the absence and in the presence of leucine. Together, 1 mM-leucine and insulin appeared to stimulate BCDH activity fully. Phosphorylation of BCDH was estimated indirectly by measuring the incorporation of 32P into phosphorylation sites that remained unesterified after preparing mitochondrial extracts under conditions that preserved the effect of insulin on BCDH activity. Increased incorporation of 32P in these experiments implies decreased phosphorylation in situ when tissues were incubated with insulin and leucine. In the absence of leucine, little incorporation of 32P into BCDH was detected. In the presence of leucine, however, incorporation of 32P into BCDH was markedly increased, and insulin increased 32P incorporation still further. The results support the hypothesis that leucine and insulin both stimulate the activity of BCDH by promoting its dephosphorylation.

Resolution of branched-chain oxo acid dehydrogenase complex of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO.

Project description:Branched-chain oxo acid dehydrogenase was purified from Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAO with the objective of resolving the complex into its subunits. The purified complex consisted of four proteins, of Mr 36,000, 42,000, 49,000 and 50,000. The complex was resolved by heat treatment into the 49,000 and 50,000-Mr proteins, which were separated by chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose. The 49,000-Mr protein was identified as the E2 subunit by its ability to catalyse transacylation with a variety of substrates, with dihydrolipoamide as the acceptor. P. aeruginosa, like P. putida, produces two lipoamide dehydrogenases. One, the 50,000-Mr protein, was identified as the specific E3 subunit of branched-chain oxo acid dehydrogenase and had many properties in common with the lipoamide dehydrogenase LPD-val of P. putida. The second lipoamide dehydrogenase had Mr 54,000 and corresponded to the lipoamide dehydrogenase LPD-glc of P. putida. Fragments of C-terminal CNBr peptides of LPD-val from P. putida and P. aeruginosa corresponded closely, with only two amino acid differences over 31 amino acids. A corresponding fragment at the C-terminal end of lipoamide dehydrogenase from Escherichia coli also showed extensive homology. All three peptides had a common segment of eight amino acids, with the sequence TIHAHPTL. This homology was not evident in any other flavoproteins in the Dayhoff data base which suggests that this sequence might be characteristic of lipoamide dehydrogenase.

Role of branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase and pyruvate dehydrogenase in 2-oxobutyrate metabolism.

Project description:Purified branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase (BCODH) and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) had apparent Km values (microM) for 2-oxobutyrate of 26 and 114, with a relative Vmax. (% of Vmax. for 3-methyl-2-oxobutyrate and pyruvate) of 38 and 45% respectively. The phosphorylation state of both complexes in extracts of mitochondria from rat liver, kidney, heart and skeletal muscle was shown to influence oxidative decarboxylation of 2-oxobutyrate. Inhibitory antibodies to BCODH and an inhibitor of PDH (3-fluoropyruvate) were used with mitochondrial extracts to determine the relative contribution of both complexes to oxidative decarboxylation of 2-oxobutyrate. Calculated rates of 2-oxobutyrate decarboxylation in mitochondrial extracts, based on the kinetic constants given above and the activities of both complexes, were the same as the measured rates. Hydroxyapatite chromatography of extracts of mitochondria from rat liver revealed only two peaks of oxidative decarboxylation of 2-oxobutyrate, with one peak associated with PDH and the other with BCODH. Competition studies with various 2-oxo acids revealed a different inhibition pattern with mitochondrial extracts from liver compared with those from heart or skeletal muscle. We conclude that both intramitochondrial complexes are responsible for oxidative decarboxylation of 2-oxobutyrate. However, the BCODH is probably the more important complex, particularly in liver, on the basis of kinetic analyses, activity or phosphorylation state of both complexes, competition studies, and the apparent physiological concentration of pyruvate, 2-oxobutyrate and the branched-chain 2-oxo acids.

Resolution and reconstitution of bovine kidney branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex.

Project description:Branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex was resolved into component E1 and E2-kinase subcomplex by gel filtration in the presence of 1 M-NaC1. Essentially all the original activity of the complex can be regained after reconstitution of the component enzymes, reassociation being a rapid process. The specific activities of E1 and E2 were 25.1 and 19.0 units/mg respectively. Non-phosphorylated active E1 has an approx. 6-fold higher affinity for E2 than does phosphorylated E1. The components of the branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex do not crossreact with the respective components from the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. The significance of these results and of the tight association of the kinase with E2 are discussed.

Phosphorylation of branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex in isolated adipocytes. Effects of 2-oxo acids.

Project description:Isolated adipocytes from rat epididymal fat-pads were incubated with [32P]Pi, and intracellular phosphoproteins were then analysed by SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. A phosphorylated polypeptide of apparent Mr 46,000 was identified as the alpha-subunit of branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex by immunoprecipitation using antiserum raised against the homogeneous E1 component of branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex. Immunoprecipitation of this phosphoprotein is blocked in a competitive manner by purified branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex. Peptide mapping of the isolated phosphoprotein indicates that two sites on the polypeptide are phosphorylated in the intact cells. Addition of branched-chain 2-oxo acids to the incubation medium causes diminution in the extent of labelling of both phosphorylation sites on the alpha-subunit, an effect presumably mediated via their known inhibitory action on branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase kinase. These observations provide direct evidence for phosphorylation of branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex in intact cells.

Branched-chain amino acid metabolon: interaction of glutamate dehydrogenase with the mitochondrial branched-chain aminotransferase (BCATm).

Project description:The catabolic pathway for branched-chain amino acids includes deamination followed by oxidative decarboxylation of the deaminated product branched-chain alpha-keto acids, catalyzed by the mitochondrial branched-chain aminotransferase (BCATm) and branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase enzyme complex (BCKDC). We found that BCATm binds to the E1 decarboxylase of BCKDC, forming a metabolon that allows channeling of branched-chain alpha-keto acids from BCATm to E1. The protein complex also contains glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH1), 4-nitrophenylphosphatase domain and non-neuronal SNAP25-like protein homolog 1, pyruvate carboxylase, and BCKDC kinase. GDH1 binds to the pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate (PMP) form of BCATm (PMP-BCATm) but not to the pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-BCATm and other metabolon proteins. Leucine activates GDH1, and oxidative deamination of glutamate is increased further by addition of PMP-BCATm. Isoleucine and valine are not allosteric activators of GDH1, but in the presence of 5'-phosphate-BCATm, they convert BCATm to PMP-BCATm, stimulating GDH1 activity. Sensitivity to ADP activation of GDH1 was unaffected by PMP-BCATm; however, addition of a 3 or higher molar ratio of PMP-BCATm to GDH1 protected GDH1 from GTP inhibition by 50%. Kinetic results suggest that GDH1 facilitates regeneration of the form of BCATm that binds to E1 decarboxylase of the BCKDC, promotes metabolon formation, branched-chain amino acid oxidation, and cycling of nitrogen through glutamate.

Activities of branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase and branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex in tissues of maternal and fetal sheep.

Project description:Branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase (BCAAT) and branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase (BCODH) activities were determined in sheep maternal and fetal liver, kidney, skeletal muscle, adipose and placenta in the fed and 5-day-starved states at 125 days gestation (term is 147 days). BCAAT activities were quite low in maternal skeletal muscle, low in fetal and maternal liver, high in fetal muscle, and very high in placenta. No significant changes occurred with maternal starvation. The high BCAAT activity of the placenta may provide the essential branched-chain 2-oxo acids for the fetus. BCODH activity was highest in liver and kidney of both the mother and fetus; it was largely in the active (dephosphorylated) state in maternal liver and kidney, and in fetal kidney, and about 50% active in fetal liver. The enzyme was largely inactive in fetal muscle, and about 50% active in maternal muscle. Although starvation had little effect on the activity of BCODH in fetal tissues, a significant decrease in activity was observed in maternal tissues, thereby potentially sparing branched-chain amino acids or the corresponding 2-oxo acids for maintenance of the fetus during compromised maternal nutrition.

Purification of rat kidney branched-chain oxo acid dehydrogenase complex with endogenous kinase activity.

Project description:A method was devised to purify branched-chain oxo acid dehydrogenase (BCOAD) from rat kidney which retains endogenous kinase activity. Incorporation of 32P into purified enzyme parallels the time course of enzyme inhibition by ATP. Phosphorylation occurs on a serine residue(s) of the 46000-mol.wt. subunit of the enzyme complex. Endogenous phosphatase activity is not present after purification, and added pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphate phosphatase does not re-activate BCOAD or liberate 32P from previously labelled enzyme. These results demonstrate that BCOAD can be regulated by an endogenous protein kinase and that the phosphorylation-cycle enzymes regulating BCOAD appear to be distinct from those associated with pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.
