THE INTRA-MITOCHONDRIAL O-GLCNACYLATION SYSTEM ACUTELY REGULATES OXPHOS CAPACITY AND ROS DYNAMICS IN THE HEART
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: O-linked N-acetylglucosamination (O-GlcNAcylation) of proteins is increasingly recognized as an important cellular regulatory mechanism. In the heart, nucleocytoplasmic O-GlcNAcylation is involved in the modulation of multiple pathophysiological processes. However, the mechanisms leading to O-GlcNAcylation in mitochondria and the consequences on their function remain poorly understood. In this study, we used an in vitro reconstitution assay to characterize the intra-mitochondrial O-GlcNAc cycling system without potential confounding effects of O-GlcNAcylation in other cellular compartments. We performed a comparative analysis of the O-GlcNAcylome of isolated cardiac mitochondria acutely (30 min) exposed to UDP-GlcNAc in presence/absence of NButGT, a specific O-GlcNAcylation inducer, and evaluated the impact on mitochondrial function. 412 O-GlcNAcylated mitochondrial proteins were identified by mass spectrometry analysis, with 189 (Q<0.05) displaying increased O-GlcNAcylation in response to NButGT. Among the O-GlcNAcylated pathways identified, oxidative phosphorylation was the main affected. These acute changes in protein O-GlcNAcylation were associated with enhanced Complex I (CI) activity, increased maximal respiration in presence of CI substrates, and a striking reduction of mitochondrial ROS release, which could be related to O-GlcNAcylation of subunits within the NADH dehydrogenase module of CI. In conclusion, our work underlines the existence of a dynamic mitochondrial O-GlcNAcylation system capable of rapidly modifying mitochondrial function.
