Genomic deletion of malic enzyme 2 confers collateral lethality in pancreatic cancer.

Project description:The genome of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) frequently contains deletions of tumour suppressor gene loci, most notably SMAD4, which is homozygously deleted in nearly one-third of cases. As loss of neighbouring housekeeping genes can confer collateral lethality, we sought to determine whether loss of the metabolic gene malic enzyme 2 (ME2) in the SMAD4 locus would create cancer-specific metabolic vulnerability upon targeting of its paralogous isoform ME3. The mitochondrial malic enzymes (ME2 and ME3) are oxidative decarboxylases that catalyse the conversion of malate to pyruvate and are essential for NADPH regeneration and reactive oxygen species homeostasis. Here we show that ME3 depletion selectively kills ME2-null PDAC cells in a manner consistent with an essential function for ME3 in ME2-null cancer cells. Mechanistically, integrated metabolomic and molecular investigation of cells deficient in mitochondrial malic enzymes revealed diminished NADPH production and consequent high levels of reactive oxygen species. These changes activate AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK), which in turn directly suppresses sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP1)-directed transcription of its direct targets including the BCAT2 branched-chain amino acid transaminase 2) gene. BCAT2 catalyses the transfer of the amino group from branched-chain amino acids to ?-ketoglutarate (?-KG) thereby regenerating glutamate, which functions in part to support de novo nucleotide synthesis. Thus, mitochondrial malic enzyme deficiency, which results in impaired NADPH production, provides a prime 'collateral lethality' therapeutic strategy for the treatment of a substantial fraction of patients diagnosed with this intractable disease.

αKG-driven RNA polymerase II transcription of cyclin D1 licenses malic enzyme 2 to promote cell cycle progression

Project description:Increased metabolic activity usually provides energy and nutrients for biomass synthesis and is indispensable for the progression of the cell cycle. Here, we found an unexpected role for α-ketoglutarate (αKG) generation in regulating cell cycle gene transcription. A reduction in cellular αKG levels triggered by malic enzyme 2 (ME2) or isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) depletion leads to a pronounced arrest in G1 phase, while αKG supplementation promotes cell cycle progression. Mechanistically, αKG directly binds to RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), increasing the level of RNAPII binding to the cyclin D1 gene promoter, consequently enhancing cyclin D1 transcription. Notably, αKG addition is sufficient to restore cyclin D1 expression in ME2- or IDH1- depleted cells, facilitating cell cycle progression and proliferation in these cells. Therefore, our findings reveal a previously unappreciated function of αKG in gene transcriptional regulation and cell cycle control.

Malic enzyme 2 mediates fumarate signaling to regulate mitochondrial biogenesis

Project description:Mitochondria have an independent genome (mtDNA) and protein synthesis machinery that coordinately activate for mitochondrial generation. Here, we report that Krebs cycle intermediate, fumarate, connects metabolism to mitobiogenesis through binding to malic enzyme 2 (ME2). Proteomic profiling of ME2-interacting protein reveals that ME2 binds to mitoribosome proteins to regulate mitoribosome assembly and mtDNA-encoded protein production. ME2 also interacts with and modulates deoxyuridine 5-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase activity to regulate thymidine generation and mtDNA abundance

The receptor-like cytosolic kinase RIPK activates NADP-malic enzyme 2 to generate NADPH for fueling the ROS production

Project description:Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is a conserved immune response, primarily mediated in Arabidopsis by the respiratory burst oxidase homolog D (RBOHD), a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase associated with the plasma membrane. A rapid increase in NADPH is necessary to fuel RBOHD proteins and hence maintain ROS production. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the NADPH generation for fueling RBOHD remains unclear. In this study, we isolated a new mutant allele of flagellin-insensitive 4 (FIN4), encoding the first enzyme in de novo NAD biosynthesis. fin4 mutants show reduced NADPH levels and impaired ROS production. However, FIN4 and other genes involved in the NAD- and NADPH-generating pathways are not highly upregulated upon elicitor treatment. Therefore, we hypothesized that a cytosolic NADP-linked dehydrogenase might be post-transcriptionally activated to keep the NADPH supply close to RBOHD. RPM1-INDUCED PROTEIN KINASE (RIPK), a receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase, regulates broad-spectrum ROS signaling in plant immunity. We then isolated the proteins associated with RIPK and identified NADP-malic enzyme 2 (NADP-ME2), an NADPH-generating enzyme. Compared with wild-type plants, nadp-me2 mutants display decreased NADP-ME activity, lower NADPH levels, as well as reduced ROS production in response to immune elicitors. Furthermore, we found that RIPK can directly phosphorylate NADP-ME2 and enhance its activity in vitro. The phosphorylation of NADP-ME2 S371 residue contributes to ROS production upon immune elicitor treatment and the susceptibility to the necrotrophic bacterium, Pectobacterium carotovorum. Overall, our study suggests that RIPK activates NADP-ME2 to rapidly increase cytosolic NADPH, hence fueling RBOHD to sustain ROS production in plant immunity.

Liver gene expression profiling of cytosolic malic enzyme knockout mice

Project description:Cytosolic malic enzyme (Me1) was predicted as a causal gene for abdominal using a novel statistical method named LCMS (Schadt et al., 2005, Nature Genetics). In order to validate this prediction, we profiled the liver tissues of Me1 knockout mice (Me1-/-) and their littermate wild-type (wt) controls to examine the gene expression signature as well as pathways/networks resulting from the single gene perturbation.

Metabolic engineering of the acid-tolerant yeast Pichia kudriavzevii for efficient L-malic acid production at low pH

Project description:Soluble pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenase (EcSthA) derived from Escherichia coli was introduced into the L-malic acid producing strain MA009-5 of Pichia kudriavzevii to obtain strain MA009-10. It was found that MA009-10 was superior to MA009-5 in terms of L-malic acid titer, glucose consumption rate, and glucose/L-malic acid conversion rate. To elucidate the effect of EcSthA expression on L-malic acid synthesis, we analyzed the RNA-seq data of both strains.
