Decreased alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (αKGDHc) activity was identified in some patients with AD. The αKGDHc is a key enzyme in the Krebs cycle. This enzyme is very sensitive to the harmful effect of reactive oxygen species, which gives them a critical role in the Alzheimer and mitochondrial disease research area. Previously, several genetic risk factors were described in association with AD. Our aim was to analyze the associations of rare damaging variants in the genes encoding αKGDHc subunits and AD. The three genes (OGDH, DLST, DLD) encoding αKGDHc subunits were sequenced from different brain regions Citation: Csaban, D.; Pentelenyi, K.; of 11 patients with histologically confirmed AD and the blood of further 35 AD patients.

  • Unstructured Regions of Large Enzymatic Complexes Control The
    Skalidis et al. Cell Communication and Signaling (2020) 18:136 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12964-020-00631-9 REVIEW Open Access Unstructured regions of large enzymatic complexes control the availability of metabolites with signaling functions Ioannis Skalidis1,2 , Christian Tüting1,2 and Panagiotis L. Kastritis1,2,3* Abstract Metabolites produced via traditional biochemical processes affect intracellular communication, inflammation, and malignancy. Unexpectedly, acetyl-CoA, α-ketoglutarate and palmitic acid, which are chemical species of reactions catalyzed by highly abundant, gigantic enzymatic complexes, dubbed as “metabolons”, have broad “nonmetabolic” signaling functions. Conserved unstructured regions within metabolons determine the yield of these metabolites. Unstructured regions tether functional protein domains, act as spatial constraints to confine constituent enzyme communication, and, in the case of acetyl-CoA production, tend to be regulated by intricate phosphorylation patterns. This review presents the multifaceted roles of these three significant metabolites and describes how their perturbation leads to altered or transformed cellular function. Their dedicated enzymatic systems are then introduced, namely, the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) and oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDH) complexes, and the fatty acid synthase (FAS), with a particular focus on their structural characterization and the localization of unstructured regions. Finally, upstream metabolite regulation, in which spatial occupancy of unstructured regions within

The four multienzyme complexes were each reconstituted under optimal conditions at different stoichiometric ratios. Binding stoichiometries for the highest catalytic efficiency were determined from the rate of NADH generation by the complexes at physiological pH. Since some of these complexes were shown to possess ‘moonlighting’ activities under pathological conditions often accompanied by acidosis, activities were also determined at pH 6.3. As reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation by the E3 component of hOGDHc is a pathologically relevant feature, superoxide generation by the complexes with optimal stoichiometry was measured by the acetylated cytochrome c reduction method in both the forward and the reverse catalytic directions.

  • Synthetic Analogues of 2-Oxo Acids Discriminate Metabolic Contribution of the 2-Oxoglutarate and 2-Oxoadipate Dehydrogenases in Mammalian Cells and Tissues Artem V
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Synthetic analogues of 2-oxo acids discriminate metabolic contribution of the 2-oxoglutarate and 2-oxoadipate dehydrogenases in mammalian cells and tissues Artem V. Artiukhov1,2, Aneta Grabarska3, Ewelina Gumbarewicz3, Vasily A. Aleshin1,2, Thilo Kähne4, Toshihiro Obata5,7, Alexey V. Kazantsev6, Nikolay V. Lukashev6, Andrzej Stepulak3, Alisdair R. Fernie5 & Victoria I. Bunik1,2* The biological signifcance of the DHTKD1-encoded 2-oxoadipate dehydrogenase (OADH) remains obscure due to its catalytic redundancy with the ubiquitous OGDH-encoded 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDH). In this work, metabolic contributions of OADH and OGDH are discriminated by exposure of cells/tissues with diferent DHTKD1 expression to the synthesized phosphonate analogues of homologous 2-oxodicarboxylates. The saccharopine pathway intermediates and phosphorylated sugars are abundant when cellular expressions of DHTKD1 and OGDH are comparable, while nicotinate and non-phosphorylated sugars are when DHTKD1 expression is order(s) of magnitude lower than that of OGDH. Using succinyl, glutaryl and adipoyl phosphonates on the enzyme preparations from tissues with varied DHTKD1 expression reveals the contributions of OADH and OGDH to oxidation of 2-oxoadipate and 2-oxoglutarate in vitro. In the phosphonates-treated cells with the high and low DHTKD1 expression, adipate or glutarate, correspondingly, are the most afected metabolites. The marker of fatty acid β-oxidation, adipate, is mostly decreased by the shorter, OGDH-preferring, phosphonate, in agreement with the known OGDH dependence of β-oxidation. The longest, OADH- preferring, phosphonate mostly afects the glutarate level. Coupled decreases in sugars and nicotinate upon the OADH inhibition link the perturbation in glucose homeostasis, known in OADH mutants, to the nicotinate-dependent NAD metabolism.

  • Proteomic Analysis of Aged Microglia
    Flowers et al. Journal of Neuroinflammation (2017) 14:96 DOI 10.1186/s12974-017-0840-7 RESEARCH Open Access Proteomic analysis of aged microglia: shifts in transcription, bioenergetics, and nutrient response Antwoine Flowers1,2, Harris Bell-Temin3, Ahmad Jalloh1,2, Stanley M. Stevens Jr.3 and Paula C. Bickford1,2,4* Abstract Background: Age is the primary risk factor for many diseases. As such, age is a critical co-factor for examination in order to understand the progression and potential intervention in disease progression. Studies examining both the phenotype and transcriptome of aged microglia demonstrated a propensity for the development of a pro-inflammatory phenotype. Less well studied is the concomitant blunting of anti-inflammatory aspects of microglial function with age which also impact plasticity and repair in the CNS. Methods: This study utilizes mass spectrometry-based proteomics to compare primary microglia from young andagedanimals. Results: This study revealed alterations in three clusters of inter-related proteins. The three pathways were inflammatory signaling, mitochondrial function, and cellular metabolism. Analysis of these clusters identified the protein rapamycin-insensitive companion of mTOR (RICTOR), a component of the mTORC2 complex, as a novel upstream regulator of several biological functions that are altered with age and potentially linked to phenotype development. A decrease in mTORC2-dependent AKT S473 phosphorylation, as assessed by insulin growth factor (IGF) treatment, was observed in aged microglia. This novel finding was confirmed by genetic manipulation of the microglial cell line. BV2 cells with diminished RICTOR displayed a phenotype that was strikingly similar to that of aged microglia. This finding is particularly relevant as the mTOR pathway already has a number of pharmacological modulators used clinically.

SUMMARY Glutaric aciduria type 1 (GA1) is an inborn error of lysine degradation characterized by a specific encephalopathy that is caused by toxic accumulation of lysine degradation intermediates. Substrate reduction through inhibition of DHTKD1, an enzyme upstream of the defective glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase, has been investigated as a potential therapy, but revealed the existence of an alternative enzymatic source of glutaryl-CoA.
