Pyruvate Dehydrogenase جامعة تكريت كلية العلوم قسم علوم الحياة الدراسات العليا/ الماجستير PYRUVATE DEHYDROGENASE اعداد الطالبة عائشة صﻻح عزيز فرع الحيوان/اختصاص الفسلجة بإشـــراف الدكتور عمار Function of pyruvate dehydrogenase The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDH or PDC) is a key regulatory site in cellular metabolism, by linking the citric acid cycle and subsequent oxidative phosphorylation with glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, as well as with both lipid and amino acid metabolism. When carbohydrate stores are reduced in mammals, PDH activity is regulated downward to limit the use of glucose by oxidative phosphorylation in tissues that can use fatty acids or ketone bodies, such as heart and skeletal muscle. The important exception is neuronal tissue, which processes glucose almost exclusively for ATP production. Activation of PDH both facilitates use of carbohydrate to meet energy demands and also converts surplus dietary carbohydrates to fatty acids for longer term energy storage. Perturbation of the regulation of this choice of glucose or fatty acids as energy source is a key part of diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity, while metabolic substrate switching from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis defines the cancer phenotype, hence recent renewed interest in PDH activity and regulation . Structure and Activity The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is a 9.5 megadalton assembly of four proteins: pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1), dihydrolipoamide acyltransferase (E2), dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (E3), and one structural protein (E2/E3 binding protein). The E1 enzyme is a heterotetramer of two α and two β subunits. PDH component proteins are arranged as a core of 60 E2 subunits around which are distributed 30 copies of E1, 12 copies of E3, and 12 copies of the E2/E3 binding protein. PDH catalyzes irreversible oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetyl Coenzyme A, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Five sequential reactions of PDH-catalyzed oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to Acetyl Coenzyme A. Crystallographic structure of pyruvate dehydrogenase Crystallographic structure of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH). PH is a six domain dimer with α (blue), α’ (yellow), β (red), and β’ (teal) regions denoted by the different colors. Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) is shown in grey ball and stick form, two magnesium ions in purple undergoing metal ligation with the TPP, and two potassium ions in orange Figure 2. Crystallographic structure of pyruvate dehydrogenase Regulation of PDH Activity by Phosphorylation Not surprisingly given its central role in metabolism, PDH is under tight and complex regulation, which includes regulation by reversible phosphorylation in response to the availability of glucose. In humans, PDH activity is inhibited by site-specific phosphorylation at three sites on the E1α subunit (Ser232, Ser293 and Ser300), which is catalyzed by four different pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases (PDK1-4). Each of the four kinases has a different reactivity for these three sites. Interestingly, phosphorylation at any one site leads to the inhibition of the complex in vitro. Two pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatases (PDP1 and PDP2) dephosphorylate the E1α and activate the enzyme. The phosphatases show little or no site specificity. Both the kinases and phosphatases are differentially expressed in tissues. Each of the PDK’s and PDP’s is under transcriptional control in response to different cellular stress events as shown in Figure 2. In addition, the kinases are activated by acetyl coenzyme A, NADH and ATP, meanwhile the availability of pyruvate and ADP leads to their inhibition. Figure 3 . A schematic of the reactions controlling pyruvate dehydrogenase. As an example of the transcriptional regulation, expression of PDK4 is suppressed under basal conditions in most tissues by maintaining relevant histones in a deacetylated state, but its expression is increased during starvation by glucocorticoids that re-acetylate these histones, particularly in heart, skeletal and other muscle tissues, kidney, and liver. PDK4 is also upregulated by a high fat diet and extended exercise. Insulin inhibits PDK4 expression via PI3K signaling that leads to lower histone acetylation. The levels of PDK4 are also regulated to PPAR transcription factors. Importantly, in diabetes caused by either insulin deficiency or insulin insensitivity, the uninhibited PDK4 over-expression prevents glucose oxidation. In contrast, the levels of PDK1 are sensitive to O2 levels and under regulation by the transcription factor HIF-1α. An increase in the level of PDK1 is a key part of the so-called Warburg effect, a switch from oxidative to glycolytic ATP production that characterizes cancer cells. Mechanism of action The ylide resonance form of thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) begins by attacking the electrophilic ketone of pyruvate. The intermediate β- alkoxide then decarboxylates and the resulting enol is deprotonated on the carbon atom to form a stabilized 1,3-dipole involving a positively charged nitrogen atom of the thiamine heterocycle. This 1,3-dipole undergoes a reductive acetylation with lipoamide-E2. Biochemical and structural data for E1 revealed a mechanism of activation of TPP coenzyme by forming the conserved hydrogen bond with glutamate residue (Glu59 in human E1) and by imposing a V-conformation that brings the N4’ atom of the aminopyrimidine to intramolecular hydrogen bonding with the thiazolium C2 atom. This unique combination of contacts and conformations of TPP leads to formation of the reactive C2- carbanion, eventually. After the cofactor TPP decarboxylates pyruvate, the acetyl portion becomes a hydroxyethyl derivative covalently attached to TPP. Active site of PDH E1 has two catalytic sites, each providing thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) and magnesium ion as cofactors. The α- subunit binds magnesium ion and pyrophosphate fragment while the β- subunit binds pyrimidine fragment of TPP, forming together a catalytic site at the interface of subunits. The active site for pyruvate dehydrogenase (image created from PDB: 1NI4 ) holds TPP through metal ligation to a magnesium ion (purple sphere) and through hydrogen bonding to amino acids. While over 20 amino acids can be found in the active site, amino acids Tyr 89, Arg 90, Gly 136, Val 138, Asp 167, Gly 168, Ala 169, Asn, 196, and His 263 actually participate in hydrogen bonding to hold TPP and pyruvate (not shown here) in the active site. The amino acids are shown as wires, and the TPP is in ball and stick form. The active site also aids in the transfer of the acyl on the TPP to a lipoamide waiting on E2. Pathology associated with PDH Pyruvate dehydrogenase is an autoantigen recognized in primary biliary cirrhosis. These antibodies appear to recognize oxidized protein that has resulted from inflammatory immune responses. Some of these inflammatory responses could be related to gluten sensitivity as over 50% of the acute liver failure patients in one study exhibited a nonmitochondrial autoantibody against tissue transglutaminase. Other mitochondrial autoantigens include oxoglutarate dehydrogenase and branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex, which are antigens recognized by antimitochondrial antibodies. Pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) deficiency is a congenital degenerative metabolic disease resulting from a mutation of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) located on the X chromosome. While defects have been identified in all 3 enzymes of the complex, the E1-α subunit is predominantly the culprit. Malfunction of the citric acid cycle due to PDH deficiency deprives the body of energy and leads to an abnormal buildup of lactate. PDH deficiency is a common cause of lactic acidosis in newborns and often presents with severe lethargy, poor feeding, tachypnea, and cases of death have occurred. References 1.

ABSTRACT latelets are critical to arterial thrombosis, which underlies myocardial infarction and stroke. Activated platelets, regardless of the nature of Ptheir stimulus, initiate energy-intensive processesthat sustain throm- bus, while adapting to potential adversities of hypoxia and nutrient depri- vation within the densely packed thrombotic milieu. We report here that stimulated platelets switch their energy metabolism to robicae glycolysis by modulating enzymes at key checkpoints in glucose metabolism. We found that aerobic glycolysis, in turn, accelerates flux through the pentose phos- phate pathway and supports platelet activation. Hence, reversing metabolic adaptations of platelets could be an effective alternative to conventional anti-platelet approaches, which are crippled by remarkable redundancy in platelet agonists and ensuing signaling pathways. In support of this hypoth- esis, small-molecule modulators of pyruvate dehydrogenase, pyruvate kinase M2 and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, all of which impede aerobic glycolysis and/or the pentose phosphate pathway, restrained the Correspondence: agonist-induced platelet responsesex vivo. These drugs, which include the DEBABRATA DASH anti-neoplastic candidate, dichloroacetate, and the Food and Drug [email protected] Administration-approved dehydroepiandrosterone, profoundly impaired thrombosis in mice, thereby exhibiting potential as anti-thrombotic agents.

  • Emerging Roles of P53 Family Members in Glucose Metabolism

The deregulation of glucose homeostasis occurs in various diseases, including the enhanced aerobic glycolysis that is observed in cancers, and insulin resistance in diabetes. Although p53 is thought to suppress tumorigenesis primarily by inducing cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and senescence in response to stress, the non-canonical functions of p53 in cellular energy homeostasis and metabolism are also emerging as critical factors for tumor suppression. Increasing evidence suggests that p53 plays a significant role in regulating glucose homeostasis. Furthermore, the p53 family members p63 and p73, as well as gain-of-function p53 mutants, are also involved in glucose metabolism. Indeed, how this protein family regulates cellular energy levels is complicated and difficult to disentangle. This review discusses the roles of the p53 family in multiple metabolic processes, such as glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, aerobic respiration, and autophagy. We also discuss how the dysregulation of the p53 family in these processes leads to diseases such as cancer and diabetes. Elucidating the complexities of the p53 family members in glucose homeostasis will improve our understanding of these diseases.

[email protected] Abstract: We demonstrate the use of two-stage dynamic metabolic control to manipulate ​ feedback regulation in central metabolism and improve stationary phase biosynthesis in engineered E. coli. Specifically, we report the impact of dynamic control over two enzymes: ​ citrate synthase, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, on stationary phase fluxes. Firstly, ​ ​ ​ ​ reduced citrate synthase levels lead to a reduction in 휶-ketoglutarate, which is an inhibitor of sugar transport, resulting in increased stationary phase glucose uptake and glycolytic fluxes. Reduced glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity activates the SoxRS regulon and expression of pyruvate-ferredoxin oxidoreductase, which is in turn responsible for large increases in acetyl-CoA production. The combined reduction in citrate synthase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, leads to greatly enhanced stationary phase metabolism and ​ the improved production of citramalic acid enabling titers of 126±7g/L. These results identify pyruvate oxidation via the pyruvate-ferredoxin oxidoreductase as a “central” metabolic pathway in stationary phase E.

Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is a rare heterozygous mutations in the BCKDHB gene found in the autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by muta- Chinese family may be responsible for the phenotype of the tions in genes that encode subunits of the branched-chain two siblings with MSUD. α-ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKD) complex. Impairment of the BCKD complex results in an abnormal accumulation Introduction of branched-chain amino acids and their corresponding branched‑chain keto acids in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid, In the wide array of inherited metabolic disorders, maple which are neurovirulent and may become life-threatening. An syrup urine disease (MSUD; Online Mendelian Inheritance 11-day-old boy was admitted to the hospital with paroxysmal in Man no. 248600; https://www.omim.org/entry/248600) has spasticity of lower extremities. Of note, his 10-year-old sister attracted increasing attention due to the potential neurological presented similar symptoms during the neonatal period, and damage caused by this disorder (1). MSUD was first reported her condition was diagnosed as MSUD when she was 1.5 years by Menkes et al (2) in 1954.

  • 1,2,3,5,6,8,10,11,16,20,21 Citric Acid Cycle Reactions
    Overview of the citric acid cycle, AKA the krebs cycle AKA tricarboxylic acid AKA TCA cycle Suggested problems from the end of chapter 19: 1,2,3,5,6,8,10,11,16,20,21 Glycogen is broken down into glucose. The reactions of glycolysis result in pyruvate, which is then fed into the citric acid cycle in the form of acetyl CoA. The products of the citric acid cycles are 2 CO2, 3 NADH, 1 FADH2, and 1 ATP or GTP. After pyruvate is generated, it is transported into the mitochondrion, an organelle that contains the citric acid cycle enzymes and the oxidative phosphorylation enzymes. In E. coli, where there are neither mitochondria nor other organelles, these enzymes also seem to be concentrated in certain regions in the cell. Citric acid cycle reactions Overall, there are 8 reactions that result in oxidation of the metabolic fuel. This results in reduction of NAD+ and FAD. NADH and FADH2 will transfer their electrons to oxygen during oxidative phosphorylation. •In 1936 Carl Martius and Franz Knoop showed that citrate can be formed non-enzymaticly from Oxaloacetate and pyruvate. •In 1937 Hans Krebs used this information for biochemical experiments that resulted in his suggestion that citrate is processed in an ongoing circle, into which pyruvate is “fed.” •In 1951 it was shown that it was acetyl Coenzyme-A that condenses with oxaloacetate to form citrate. 1 The pre-citric acid reaction- pyruvate dehydrogenase Pyruvate dehydrogenase is a multi-subunit complex, containing three enzymes that associate non-covalently and catalyze 5 reaction. The enzymes are: (E1) pyruvate dehydrogenase (E2) dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (E3) dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase What are the advantages for arranging enzymes in complexes? E.
