Regulation of rat heart cytosol 5'-nucleotidase by adenylate energy charge.

ABSTRACT: A 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) was highly purified from the soluble fraction of rat heart. The preparation appeared homogeneous by the criterion of polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The enzyme was activated by ATP and ADP, and inhibited by Pi. When AMP was used as substrate, the velocity/substrate-concentration plot was sigmoidal. ATP or ADP changed the plot to hyperbolic and decreased S0.5. Pi increased both the sigmoidicity of the plot and S0.5. When IMP was used as substrate, the velocity/substrate plot was hyperbolic. ATP or ADP decreased Km and increased V. Pi changed the plot to sigmoidal and increased S0.5. Within the range of adenylate energy charge observed in surviving mammalian cells (0.7-0.9), the rate of AMP-hydrolysing activity catalysed by the 5'-nucleotidase increased sharply with decreasing energy charge. The highest activity was observed at an energy-charge value of about 0.6. The response was also observed in the presence of Pi. No change in IMP-hydrolysing activity was observed in the physiological range of adenylate energy charge, but in the presence of Pi the activity gradually increased with increasing energy charge. These results suggest the possibility that this enzyme participates in production of adenosine, a vasodilator, during hypoxia and in removal of IMP, which accumulates during the hypoxia, in the heart.

Hypoxia and the energy charge of the cerebral adenylate pool.

Project description:A brief period of anoxia in vivo causes a transitory decrease in the size of the adenylate pool in the rat brain. This is probably caused by feedback inhibition by AMP of adenine nucleotide synthesis. Exposing rats to various degrees of hypoxia suggests that the sensitivity of the brain to lack of O(2) results from the brain's limited ability to maintain an adequate energy charge in unfavourable circumstances.

Elevation of adenylate energy charge by angiopoietin-like 4 enhances epithelial-mesenchymal transition by inducing 14-3-3γ expression.

Project description:Metastatic cancer cells acquire energy-intensive processes including increased invasiveness and chemoresistance. However, how the energy demand is met and the molecular drivers that coordinate an increase in cellular metabolic activity to drive epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), the first step of metastasis, remain unclear. Using different in vitro and in vivo EMT models with clinical patient's samples, we showed that EMT is an energy-demanding process fueled by glucose metabolism-derived adenosine triphosphate (ATP). We identified angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) as a key player that coordinates an increase in cellular energy flux crucial for EMT via an ANGPTL4/14-3-3γ signaling axis. This augmented cellular metabolic activity enhanced metastasis. ANGPTL4 knockdown suppresses an adenylate energy charge elevation, delaying EMT. Using an in vivo dual-inducible EMT model, we found that ANGPTL4 deficiency reduces cancer metastasis to the lung and liver. Unbiased kinase inhibitor screens and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis revealed that ANGPTL4 regulates the expression of 14-3-3γ adaptor protein via the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/AKT and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways that culminate to activation of transcription factors, CREB, cFOS and STAT3. Using a different mode of action, as compared with protein kinases, the ANGPTL4/14-3-3γ signaling axis consolidated cellular bioenergetics and stabilized critical EMT proteins to coordinate energy demand and enhanced EMT competency and metastasis, through interaction with specific phosphorylation signals on target proteins.

The energy landscape of adenylate kinase during catalysis.

Project description:Kinases perform phosphoryl-transfer reactions in milliseconds; without enzymes, these reactions would take about 8,000 years under physiological conditions. Despite extensive studies, a comprehensive understanding of kinase energy landscapes, including both chemical and conformational steps, is lacking. Here we scrutinize the microscopic steps in the catalytic cycle of adenylate kinase, through a combination of NMR measurements during catalysis, pre-steady-state kinetics, molecular-dynamics simulations and crystallography of active complexes. We find that the Mg(2+) cofactor activates two distinct molecular events: phosphoryl transfer (>10(5)-fold) and lid opening (10(3)-fold). In contrast, mutation of an essential active site arginine decelerates phosphoryl transfer 10(3)-fold without substantially affecting lid opening. Our results highlight the importance of the entire energy landscape in catalysis and suggest that adenylate kinases have evolved to activate key processes simultaneously by precise placement of a single, charged and very abundant cofactor in a preorganized active site.

5'-Nucleotidase from rat heart membranes. Inhibition by adenine nucleotides and related compounds.

Project description:ADP and ATP and their analogues were evaluated as inhibitors of 5'-nucleotidase purified from heart plasma membrane. ADP analogues are more powerful inhibitors than the corresponding ATP analogues. The most powerful inhibitor found is adenosine 5'-[alpha beta-methylene]diphosphate (AOPCP) for which the enzyme shows a Ki of 5 nM at pH 7.2. Measurements of pKi values for ADP and AOPCP as a function of pH indicate that the major inhibitory species of both nucleotides is the dianion. In the physiological range of pH values, AOPCP is a more powerful inhibitor than ADP principally because a higher percentage of AOPCP exists in the dianion form. The methylenephosphonate analogue of AMP (ACP), though not a substrate, is a moderately effective inhibitor. The corresponding analogues of ADP (ACPOP) and ATP (ACPOPOP) are as good inhibitors as ADP and ATP respectively. The thiophosphate analogues of ADP all inhibit 5'-nucleotidase, although not as powerfully as ADP, the most effective of these analogues being adenosine 5'-O-(1-thiodiphosphate) diastereoisomer B (ADP[alpha S](B)]. Other nucleotides inhibit the enzyme, but none is as effective as AOPCP. Inorganic tripolyphosphate and methylenediphosphonate are better inhibitors of the enzyme than is inorganic pyrophosphate. Inorganic thiophosphate is a better inhibitor than is orthophosphate. Hill plots of the ADP and AOPCP inhibition yield slopes close to 1; Hill plots of the ATP inhibition yield slopes of about 0.6. MgADP- is not an inhibitor, and MgATP2- is at best a very weak inhibitor of the enzyme.

5'-Nucleotidase activity and adenosine formation in stimulated, hypoxic and underperfused rat heart.

Project description:Changes in 5'-nucleotidase activity were calculated on the basis of alterations in ATP, ADP, phosphocreatine, Pi, Mg2+, IMP and AMP, determined by using 31P n.m.r. spectroscopy and h.p.l.c., during isoprenaline infusion, graded hypoxia and graded underperfusion in isolated rat heart. Calculated activity changes were compared with the total efflux of purines (adenosine + inosine + hypoxanthine) in order to assess the involvement of various 5'-nucleotidases in formation of adenosine. Purine efflux exhibited an exponential relation with cytosolic [AMP] during isoprenaline infusion and hypoxia (r = 0.92 and 0.95 respectively), supporting allosteric activation of 5'-nucleotidase under these conditions. Purine efflux displayed a linear relation with cytosolic [AMP] during graded ischaemia (r = 0.96), supporting substrate regulation in the ischaemic heart. The calculated activities of membrane-bound ecto-5'-nucleotidase were similar to the observed relations between purine efflux and cytosolic [AMP] in all hearts. The calculated activities of the ATP-activated cytosolic and lysosomal enzymes and of the ATP-inhibited cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase could not explain the observed release of purines under the conditions examined. These results indicate that the kinetic characteristics of the membrane-bound ecto-enzyme are consistent with an important role in the formation of extracellular adenosine, whereas the characteristics of the other 5'-nucleotidases are inconsistent with roles in adenosine formation under the conditions of the present study.

Rat submandibular glands secrete nanovesicles with NTPDase and 5'-nucleotidase activities.

Project description:Extracellular nucleotides modulate a wide number of biological processes such as neurotransmission, platelet aggregation, muscle contraction, and epithelial secretion acting by the purinergic pathway. Nucleotidases as NTPDases and ecto-5'-nucleotidase are membrane-anchored proteins that regulate extracellular nucleotide concentrations. In a previous work, we have partially characterized an NTPDase-like activity expressed by rat submandibular gland microsomes, giving rise to the hypothesis that membrane NTPDases could be released into salivary ducts to regulate luminal nucleotide concentrations as was previously proposed for ovarian, prostatic, and pancreatic secretions. Present results show that rat submandibular glands incubated in vitro release membrane-associated NTPDase and ecto-5'-nucleotidase activities. Electron microscopy images show that released membranes presenting nucleotidase activity correspond to exosome-like vesicles which are also present at microsomal fraction. Both exosome release and nucleotidase activities are raised by adrenergic stimulation. Nucleotidase activities present the same kinetic characteristics than microsomal nucleotidase activity, corresponding mainly to the action of NTPDase2 and NTPDase3 isoforms as well as 5'-nucleotidase. This is consistent with Western blot analysis revealing the presence of these enzymes in the microsomal fraction.

Structure and catalytic regulation of Plasmodium falciparum IMP specific nucleotidase.

Project description:Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) relies solely on the salvage pathway for its purine nucleotide requirements, making this pathway indispensable to the parasite. Purine nucleotide levels are regulated by anabolic processes and by nucleotidases that hydrolyse these metabolites into nucleosides. Certain apicomplexan parasites, including Pf, have an IMP-specific-nucleotidase 1 (ISN1). Here we show, by comprehensive substrate screening, that PfISN1 catalyzes the dephosphorylation of inosine monophosphate (IMP) and is allosterically activated by ATP. Crystal structures of tetrameric PfISN1 reveal complex rearrangements of domain organization tightly associated with catalysis. Immunofluorescence microscopy and expression of GFP-fused protein indicate cytosolic localization of PfISN1 and expression in asexual and gametocyte stages of the parasite. With earlier evidence on isn1 upregulation in female gametocytes, the structures reported in this study may contribute to initiate the design for possible transmission-blocking agents.

Synthetic energy sensor AMPfret deciphers adenylate-dependent AMPK activation mechanism.

Project description:AMP-activated protein kinase AMPK senses and regulates cellular energy state. AMPK activation by increasing AMP and ADP concentrations involves a conformational switch within the heterotrimeric complex. This is exploited here for the construction of a synthetic sensor of cellular energetics and allosteric AMPK activation, AMPfret. Based on engineered AMPK fused to fluorescent proteins, the sensor allows direct, real-time readout of the AMPK conformational state by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). AMPfret faithfully and dynamically reports the binding of AMP and ADP to AMPK ?-CBS sites, competed by Mg2+-free ATP. FRET signals correlate with activation of AMPK by allosteric mechanisms and protection from dephosphorylation, attributed here to specific CBS sites, but does not require activation loop phosphorylation. Moreover, AMPfret detects binding of pharmacological compounds to the AMPK ?/?-ADaM site enabling activator screening. Cellular assays demonstrate that AMPfret is applicable in vivo for spatiotemporal analysis of energy state and allosteric AMPK activation.

Minimum free energy path of ligand-induced transition in adenylate kinase.

Project description:Large-scale conformational changes in proteins involve barrier-crossing transitions on the complex free energy surfaces of high-dimensional space. Such rare events cannot be efficiently captured by conventional molecular dynamics simulations. Here we show that, by combining the on-the-fly string method and the multi-state Bennett acceptance ratio (MBAR) method, the free energy profile of a conformational transition pathway in Escherichia coli adenylate kinase can be characterized in a high-dimensional space. The minimum free energy paths of the conformational transitions in adenylate kinase were explored by the on-the-fly string method in 20-dimensional space spanned by the 20 largest-amplitude principal modes, and the free energy and various kinds of average physical quantities along the pathways were successfully evaluated by the MBAR method. The influence of ligand binding on the pathways was characterized in terms of rigid-body motions of the lid-shaped ATP-binding domain (LID) and the AMP-binding (AMPbd) domains. It was found that the LID domain was able to partially close without the ligand, while the closure of the AMPbd domain required the ligand binding. The transition state ensemble of the ligand bound form was identified as those structures characterized by highly specific binding of the ligand to the AMPbd domain, and was validated by unrestrained MD simulations. It was also found that complete closure of the LID domain required the dehydration of solvents around the P-loop. These findings suggest that the interplay of the two different types of domain motion is an essential feature in the conformational transition of the enzyme.
