Multi-omics analysis delineates the distinct functions of sub-cellular acetyl-CoA pools in Toxoplasma gondii

ABSTRACT: Acetyl-CoA is a key metabolite in all organisms, implicated in transcriptional regulation, post-translational modification as well as fuelling the TCA-cycle and the synthesis and elongation of fatty acids (FAs). The obligate intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii possesses two enzymes which produce acetyl-CoA in the cytosol and nucleus: acetyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) and ATP-citrate lyase (ACL), while the branched-chain α-keto acid dehydrogenase-complex (BCKDH) generates acetyl-CoA in the mitochondrion. To obtain a global and integrative picture of the role of distinct sub-cellular acetyl-CoA pools, we measured the acetylome, transcriptome, proteome and metabolome of parasites lacking ACL/ACS or BCKDH. Loss of ACL/ACS results in the hypo-acetylation of nucleo-cytosolic and secretory proteins, alters gene expression broadly and is required for the synthesis of parasite-specific FAs. In contrast, loss of BCKDH causes few specific changes in the acetylome, transcriptome and proteome which allow these parasites to rewire their metabolism to adapt to the obstruction of the TCA-cycle.

Elucidating the diverse roles of acetyl-CoA in the cytosol and mitochondrion of Toxoplasma gondii

Project description:Acetyl-CoA is a key metabolite in all organisms, implicated in transcriptional regulation, post-translational modification as well as fuelling the TCA cycle and the synthesis and elongation of fatty acids. The obligate intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii possesses two enzymes which produce acetyl-CoA in the cytosol and nucleus: the acetyl-CoA synthase (ACS) and the ATP-citrate lyase (ACL), while the branched chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKDH) generates acetyl-CoA in the mitochondrion. Given the diverse functions of acetyl-CoA, we know little about the specific roles of distinct sub-cellular acetyl-CoA pools and how these impact overall parasite physiology. To assess the broad functions of nucleo-cytosolic as well as mitochondrial acetyl-CoA, we analysed the acetylome and total proteome of parasites lacking ACL/ACS or BCKDH.

N-Acetylation of secreted proteins is widespread in Apicomplexa and independent of acetyl-CoA transporter AT1

Project description:Acetyl-CoA critically participates in post-translational modification of proteins, central carbon and lipid metabolism in several compartments of eukaryotic cells. In mammals, the acetyl-CoA transporter 1 (AT1) facilitates the flux of cytosolic acetyl-CoA into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) enabling the acetylation of proteins of the secretory pathway in concert with dedicated acetyltransferases including Nat8. Homologues of AT1 and Nat8 were identified in the apicomplexan parasites Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium berghei. However, the implication of acetyl-CoA pool influx into the ER in acetylation of ER-transiting proteins and their relevance throughout the parasites’ life cycle is unknown. Here, we report proteome-wide analyses, which revealed unprecedented widespread N-terminal acetylation marks of secreted proteins in both parasites. Deletion of the gene coding for AT1 in both parasites, resulted in global loss of fitness and in addition to retardation in erythrocytic development, malaria parasites are blocked in transmission to mosquitoes. However, in absence of AT1 proteome wide lysine and N-terminal acetylation modifications remain unaltered. This highlights a role of AT1 in parasite development uncoupled to acetylation capacity, indicative of an unusually active acetylation machinery occurring in the ER of Apicomplexa.

RNA-seq of Paracoccus denitrificans Pd1222 and a ramB deletion mutant during growth on succinate and acetate

Project description:The alphaproteobacterium Paracoccus denitrificans Pd1222 has two different, yet functionally redundant acetyl-CoA assimilation routes: the Ethylmalonyl-CoA pathway (EMCP) and the glyoxylate cycle (GC). The EMPC and the GC each tightly control the balance between catabolism and anabolism by shifting flux away from the oxidation of acetyl-CoA in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle towards biomass formation. RamB (encoded by Pden_1365), a member of the ScfR family, is a transcriptional regulator in P. denitrificans Pd1222 that controls expression of GC. To analyze the role of RamB in the coordinated regulation of metabolic plasticity, we analyzed the global transcriptome of P. denitrificans Pd1222, as well as the ramB-deletion strain during mid-exponential growth phase on defined minimal medium with acetate or succinate as carbon sources.

Gene expression analysis of a double knockout of TCA cycle enzymes IDH and KDH

Project description:New antimalarial drugs are urgently needed to control drug resistant forms of the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. Although mitochondrial metabolism is the target of both existing drugs and new lead compounds, the role of the mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle remains poorly understood. Herein, we describe 11 genetic knockout parasite lines that delete six of the eight TCA cycle enzymes. Although all TCA knockouts grew normally in asexual blood stages, these metabolic deficiencies halted lifecycle progression in later stages. Specifically, aconitase knockout parasites arrested as late gametocytes, whereas α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase deficient parasites failed to develop oocysts in the mosquitoes. Mass-spectrometry analysis of 13C isotope-labeled TCA mutant parasites showed that P. falciparum has significant flexibility in TCA metabolism. This flexibility manifested itself through changes in pathway fluxes and through altered exchange of substrates between cytosolic and mitochondrial pools. Our findings suggest that mitochondrial metabolic plasticity is essential for parasite development . Two parallel timecourses resulting in a total of 16 samples (8 wildtype, Isocitrate Dehydrogenase/alpha-Ketogluterate Dehydrogenase double knockout) were hybridized against a Cy3-labeled reference pool of 3D7 mixed stage parasites on a two-color array.

Nrf2 drives hepatocellular carcinoma progression through acetyl-CoA-mediated metabolic, epigenetic and oncogenic regulatory networks

Project description:Liver tumors had high levels of histone acetylation. Nrf2 knockout mice developed fewer tumors than Nrf2 wild-type mice. The mechanistic study found that Nrf2 knockout reduced the generation of acetyl CoA from impaired glycolysis, TCA cycle, and fatty acid metabolism. Acetyl CoA is the substrate for protein acetylation including histone acetylation. Here we determined the genome-wide distribution of AcH3K27. We found that Nrf2 through regulating acetyl CoA production affects histone acetylation (AcH3K27) to modulate the expression of genes, whose products were involved in the glycolysis, TCA cycle, fatty acid metabolism, and oncogenic Myc/mTor signaling. Our findings supported an Nrf2-integrated metabolic, epigenetic and oncogenic signaling in driving liver tumor development.

Characterization of lysine acetylation in Toxoplasma gondii proteome lacking acetyl-CoA transporter 1 (AT1).

Project description:Acetyl-CoA participates in post-translational modification of proteins, central carbon and lipid metabolism in several cell compartments. In mammals, the acetyl-CoA transporter 1 (AT1) facilitates the flux of cytosolic acetyl-CoA into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), enabling the acetylation of proteins of the secretory pathway, in concert with dedicated acetyltransferases including Nat8. However, the implication of the ER acetyl-CoA pool in acetylation of ER-transiting proteins and their relevance throughout the parasites’ life cycle is unknown. Here, we evaluated the impact of blocking putative cytosolic acetyl-CoA import on acetylation of proteins through KO of the homologue of AT1 in the parasite Toxoplasma gondii.

ACLY and ACSS2 link nutrient-dependent chromatin accessibility to regulation of CD8 T cell effector responses [RNA-seq]

Project description:Coordination of cellular metabolism is essential for optimal T cell responses. Here, we identify cytosolic acetyl-CoA production as an essential metabolic node for CD8 T cell function in vivo. We show that CD8 T cell responses to infection depend on acetyl-CoA derived from citrate via the enzyme ATP citrate lyase (ACLY). However, ablation of ACLY triggers an alternative, acetate-dependent pathway for acetyl-CoA production mediated by acyl-CoA synthetase short chain family member 2 (ACSS2). Mechanistically, acetate fuels both the TCA cycle and cytosolic acetyl-CoA production, impacting T cell effector responses, acetate-dependent histone acetylation, and chromatin accessibility at effector gene loci. When ACLY is functional, ACSS2 is not required, suggesting acetate is not an obligate metabolic substrate for CD8 T cell function. However, loss of ACLY renders CD8 T cells dependent on acetate (via ACSS2) to maintain acetyl-CoA production and effector function. Together, ACLY and ACSS2 coordinate cytosolic acetyl-CoA production in CD8 T cells to maintain chromatin accessibility and T cell effector function.

Genomic and Transcriptomic Analyses of the Facultative Methanotroph, Methylocystis Strain SB2

Project description:Here we present the assembled genome of the facultative methanotroph, Methylocystis strain SB2, along with assessment of its transcriptome when grown on methane vs. ethanol. As expected, transcriptomic analyses indicate methane is converted to carbon dioxide via the canonical methane oxidation pathway for energy generation, and that carbon is assimilated at the level of formaldehyde via the serine cycle. When grown on ethanol, it appears this strain converts ethanol to acetyl-CoA and then utilizes the TCA cycle for energy generation and the ethylmalonyl CoA pathway for the production of biomass. All cultures were grown in triplicates for subsequent DNA and RNA extraction as well as for subsequent sequencing using Illumina. Transcriptomic analysis results presented in this Series.

Exercise prevents fatty liver by modifying the compensatory response of mitochondrial metabolism to excess substrate availability

Project description:Exercise training is a potent treatment of NAFLD and hepatic insulin resistance. Here we provide molecular information about the hepatic mitochondrial metabolism in mice when chronic overnutrition (high-energy diet (HED) for 6 weeks) is combined with exercise training. Training reduced the hepatic triacylglycerol content, fasting insulin, and reversed glucose intolerance. Training modified the hepatic mitochondrial proteome with a decrease in enzymes related to pyruvate metabolism and entry of acetyl-CoA into the TCA cycle. Transcriptome data revealed down-regulation of glucose oxidation and lipogenesis. The mitochondrial respiratory capacity of trained HED-fed mice is increased despite reduced content of complex I. Training decreased diacylglycerol species and JNK phosphorylation, both of which can induce insulin resistance. Increased mitochondrial mass and oxidative capacity of the trained muscle further unburdens the liver from substrate overload. Together, when high fat and carbohydrate intake in mice is accompanied by exercise, the decline of mitochondrial function and insulin resistance can be prevented by modification of mitochondrial acetyl-CoA metabolism.
