The influence of adenine nucleotides and oxidizable substrates on triethyltin-mediated chloride uptake by rat liver mitochondria in potassium chloride media.

ABSTRACT: In a 100 mM-KCl medium, pH 6.8, containing ATP increasing concentrations of triethyltin cause an uptake of Cl- into mitochondria with a maximum at 1 muM. This can be inhibited by atractylate or oligomycin, but is virtually unaffected by the presence of rotenone. When the medium contains substrate (pyruvate, beta-hydroxybutyrate or succinate), both in the presence and absence of adenine nucleotides, Cl- uptake is greater with a maximum at 1-10 muM-triethyltin. If substrate oxidation is blocked by respiratory-chain inhibitors the Cl- uptake mediated by triethyltin is inhibited except in the media containing ATP, when the characteristics of Cl- uptake similar to that found in the medium containing ATP alone are observed. Under all conditions tested Cl- uptake is decreased by the presence of 2,4-dinitrophenol. It is concluded that energy from either the oxidation of substrate or the hydrolysis of ATP is associated with the generation of sufficient OH- to enable the triethyltin-mediated Cl-/OH- exchange to occur under the metabolic conditions relevant to this action of triethyltin.

Molecular Integrity of Mitochondria Alters by Potassium Chloride.

Project description:Potassium chloride (KCl) has been commonly used in homogenization buffer and procedures of protein extraction. It is known to facilitate release of membrane-associated molecules but the higher concentration of KCl may affect the integrity of mitochondria by breaching the electrostatic force between the lipids and proteins. Therefore, it has been intended to explore the effect of KCl on mitochondrial proteome. The mitochondria were isolated from the mice liver and sub-fractionated into mitochondrial matrix and outer mitochondrial membrane fraction. The fractions were analysed by denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and 2D-PAGE. The analysis of ultrastructure and protein profiles by MALDI-MS and data-mining reveals KCl-associated alterations in the integrity of mitochondria and its proteome. The mitochondrial membrane, cristae, and the matrix proteins appear altered under the influence of KCl.

High-chloride concentrations abolish the binding of adenine nucleotides in the mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier family.

Project description:The ADP/ATP carrier (AAC) is a very effective membrane protein that mediates the exchange of ADP and ATP across the mitochondrial membrane. In vivo transport measurements on the AAC overexpressed in Escherichia coli demonstrate that this process can be severely inhibited by high-chloride concentrations. Molecular-dynamics simulations reveal a strong modification of the topology of the local electric field related to the number of chloride ions inside the cavity. Halide ions are shown to shield the positive charges lining the internal cavity of the carrier by accurate targeting of key basic residues. These specific amino acids are highly conserved as highlighted by the analysis of multiple AAC sequences. These results strongly suggest that the chloride concentration acts as an electrostatic lock for the mitochondrial AAC family, thereby preventing adenine nucleotides from reaching their dedicated binding sites.

Changes in intramitochondrial adenine nucleotides in blowfly flight-muscle mitochondria.

Project description:1. With freshly isolated blowfly mitochondria 38% of the intramitochondrial adenine nucleotide was present as AMP. 2. On incubation with oxidizable substrates the AMP and ADP concentrations fell and that of ATP rose; with pyruvate together with proline the ATP concentration reached its maximum value at 6min; with glycerol phosphate the phosphorylation of endogenous nucleotide was more rapid. 3. Addition of the uncoupling agent carbonyl cyanide phenylhydrazone caused a rapid fall of ATP and a parallel rise in ADP, then ADP was converted into AMP. 4. This was in contrast with rat liver mitochondria endogenous AMP concentrations, which were always lower than those of blowfly mitochondria and changed little under different metabolic conditions. 5. Evidence is presented that adenylate kinase (EC 2.7.4.3) has a dual distribution in blowfly mitochondria, a part being located in the matrix space and a part in the space between the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes, as in liver and other mitochondria. 6. The possible regulatory role of changing AMP concentrations in the mitochondrial matrix was investigated. Partially purified pyruvate carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.1) and citrate synthase (EC 4.1.3.7) were inhibited 30% by 2mm-AMP, whereas pyruvate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.4.1) was unaffected. 7. AMP activated the NAD(+)-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.41) activity of blowfly mitochondria in the absence of ADP, but in the presence of ADP, AMP caused inhibition. 8. It is suggested that AMP may exert a controlling effect on the oxidative activity of blowfly mitochondria.

Transglutaminase 5 is regulated by guanine-adenine nucleotides.

Project description:Transglutaminases (TGases) are Ca2+-dependent enzymes capable of catalysing transamidation of glutamine residues to form intermolecular isopeptide bonds. Nine distinct TGases have been described in mammals, and two of them (types 2 and 3) are regulated by GTP/ATP. TGase2 hydrolyses GTP and is therefore a bifunctional enzyme. In the present study, we report that TGase5 is also regulated by nucleotides. We have identified the putative TGase5 GTP-binding pocket by comparative amino acid sequence alignment and homology-derived three-dimensional modelling. GTP and ATP inhibit TGase5 cross-linking activity in vitro, and Ca2+ is capable of completely reversing this inhibition. In addition, TGase5 mRNA is not restricted to epidermal tissue, but is also present in different adult and foetal tissues, suggesting a role for TGase5 outside the epidermis. These results reveal the reciprocal actions of Ca2+ and nucleotides with respect to TGase5 activity. Taken together, these results indicate that TGases are a complex family of enzymes regulated by calcium, with at least three of them, namely TGase2, TGase3 and TGase5, also being regulated by ATP and GTP.

Elamipretide Improves ADP Sensitivity in Aged Mitochondria by Increasing Uptake through the Adenine Nucleotide Translocator (ANT).

Project description:Aging muscle experiences functional decline in part mediated by impaired mitochondrial ADP sensitivity. Elamipretide (ELAM) rapidly improves physiological and mitochondrial function in aging and binds directly to the mitochondrial ADP transporter ANT. We hypothesized that ELAM improves ADP sensitivity in aging leading to rescued physiological function. We measured the response to ADP stimulation in young and old muscle mitochondria with ELAM treatment, in vivo heart and muscle function, and compared protein abundance, phosphorylation, and S-glutathionylation of ADP/ATP pathway proteins. ELAM treatment increased ADP sensitivity in old muscle mitochondria by increasing uptake of ADP through the ANT and rescued muscle force and heart systolic function. Protein abundance in the ADP/ATP transport and synthesis pathway was unchanged, but ELAM treatment decreased protein s-glutathionylation incuding of ANT. Mitochondrial ADP sensitivity is rapidly modifiable. This research supports the hypothesis that ELAM improves ANT function in aging and links mitochondrial ADP sensitivity to physiological function.Abstract figure

Intracellular regulation of human ClC-5 by adenine nucleotides.

Project description:ClC-5, an endosomal Cl(-)/H(+) antiporter that is mutated in Dent disease, is essential for endosomal acidification and re-uptake of small molecular weight proteins in the renal proximal tubule. Eukaryotic chloride channels (CLCs) contain two cytoplasmic CBS domains, motifs present in different proteins, the function of which is still poorly understood. Structural studies have shown that ClC-5 can bind to ATP at the interface between the CBS domains, but so far the potential functional consequences of nucleotide binding to ClC-5 have not been investigated. Here, we show that the direct application of ATP, ADP and AMP in inside-out patch experiments potentiates the current mediated by ClC-5 with similar affinities. The nucleotides increase the probability of ClC-5 to be in an active, transporting state. The residues Tyr 617 and Asp 727, but not Ser 618, are crucial for the potentiation. These results provide a mechanistic and structural framework for the interpretation of nucleotide regulation of a CLC transporter.

Structural basis of AMPK regulation by adenine nucleotides and glycogen.

Project description:AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a central cellular energy sensor and regulator of energy homeostasis, and a promising drug target for the treatment of diabetes, obesity, and cancer. Here we present low-resolution crystal structures of the human ?1?2?1 holo-AMPK complex bound to its allosteric modulators AMP and the glycogen-mimic cyclodextrin, both in the phosphorylated (4.05 Å) and non-phosphorylated (4.60 Å) state. In addition, we have solved a 2.95 Å structure of the human kinase domain (KD) bound to the adjacent autoinhibitory domain (AID) and have performed extensive biochemical and mutational studies. Together, these studies illustrate an underlying mechanism of allosteric AMPK modulation by AMP and glycogen, whose binding changes the equilibria between alternate AID (AMP) and carbohydrate-binding module (glycogen) interactions.

Glibenclamide binding to sulphonylurea receptor subtypes: dependence on adenine nucleotides.

Project description:1: ATP-sensitive K(+) channels are composed of pore-forming subunits Kir6.2 and of sulphonylurea receptors (SURs); the latter are the target of the hypoglycaemic sulphonylureas like glibenclamide. Here, we report on the negative allosteric modulation by MgATP and MgADP of glibenclamide binding to SUR1 and to SUR2 mutants with high glibenclamide affinity, SUR2A(Y1206S) and SUR2B(Y1206S). 2: ATP, in the presence of an ATP-regenerating system to oppose hydrolysis during incubation, inhibited glibenclamide binding to SUR1 and SUR2B(Y1206S) by approximately 60%, to SUR2A(Y1206S) by 21%). Inhibition curves for the SUR2(Y1206S) isoforms were monophasic with IC(50) values of 5-10 microM; the curve for SUR1 was biphasic (IC(50) values 4.7 and 1300 microM). 3: Glibenclamide inhibition curves for ADP, performed in the presence of an ATP-consuming system to oppose ATP formation from ADP, were generally shifted rightwards and showed positive cooperativity, in particular with the SUR2(Y1206S) isoforms. 4: In the absence of the coupled enzyme systems, inhibition curves of MgATP or MgADP were generally shifted leftwards. This indicated synergy of MgATP and MgATP in acting together. 5: Coexpression of SUR1 and SUR2B(Y1206S) with Kir6.2 reduced both potency and efficacy of ATP in inhibiting glibenclamide binding; this was particularly marked for Kir6.2/SUR1. 6: The data show (a) that the inhibitory effects of ATP and ADP on glibenclamide binding differ from one another, (b) that they depend on the SUR subtype, and (c) that they are weakened by coexpression with Kir6.2.
