Molecular Mechanism of ACAD9 in Mitochondrial Respiratory Complex 1 Assembly

Molecular mechanism of ACAD9 in mitochondrial respiratory complex 1 assembly Chuanwu Xia1, Baoying Lou1, Zhuji Fu1, Al-Walid Mohsen2, Jerry Vockley2, and Jung-Ja P. Kim1 1Department of Biochemistry, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 53226, USA 2Department of Pediatrics, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, University of Pittsburgh, Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC, Pittsburgh, PA 15224, USA Abstract ACAD9 belongs to the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family, which catalyzes the α-β dehydrogenation of fatty acyl-CoA thioesters. Thus, it is involved in fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO). However, it is now known that the primary function of ACAD9 is as an essential chaperone for mitochondrial respiratory complex 1 assembly. ACAD9 interacts with ECSIT and NDUFAF1, forming the mitochondrial complex 1 assembly (MCIA) complex. Although the role of MCIA in the complex 1 assembly pathway is well studied, little is known about the molecular mechanism of the interactions among these three assembly factors. Our current studies reveal that when ECSIT interacts with ACAD9, the flavoenzyme loses the FAD cofactor and consequently loses its FAO activity, demonstrating that the two roles of ACAD9 are not compatible. ACAD9 binds to the carboxy-terminal half (C-ECSIT), and NDUFAF1 binds to the amino-terminal half of ECSIT. Although the binary complex of ACAD9 with ECSIT or with C-ECSIT is unstable and aggregates easily, the ternary complex of ACAD9-ECSIT-NDUFAF1 (i.e., the MCIA complex) is soluble and extremely stable.

In this study, the role of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and TLR-mediated signaling pathways in mastitis caused by S. uberis was investigated using mouse models and mammary / epithelial cells (MECs). We used S. uberis to infect mammary glands of wild type, TLR2− − and / TLR4− − mice and quantified the adaptor molecules in TLR signaling pathways, proinflammatory cytokines, tissue damage, and bacterial count. When compared with TLR4 deficiency, TLR2 deficiency induced more severe pathological changes through myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MyD88)-mediated signaling pathways during S.

Ecsit Is Required for Bmp Signaling and Mesoderm Formation During Mouse Embryogenesis

Signaling by Bmp receptors is mediated mainly by Smad proteins. In this study, we show that a targeted null mutation of Ecsit, encoding a signaling intermediate of the Toll pathway, leads to reduced cell proliferation, altered epiblast patterning, impairment of mesoderm formation, and embryonic lethality at embryonic day 7.5 (E7.5), phenotypes that mimic the Bmp receptor type1a (Bmpr1a) null mutant. In addition, specific Bmp target gene expression is abolished in the absence of Ecsit. Biochemical analysis demonstrates that Ecsit associates constitutively with Smad4 and associates with Smad1 in a Bmp-inducible manner. Together with Smad1 and Smad4, Ecsit binds to the promoter of specific Bmp target genes. Finally, knock-down of Ecsit with Ecsit-specific short hairpin RNA inhibits both Bmp and Toll signaling.

Mutations in either the mitochondrial or nuclear genome can disrupt a plethora of cellular metabolic and homeostatic functions. Mitochondrial diseases represent one the most common and severe groups of inherited genetic disorders, characterised by clinical, biochemical, and genetic heterogeneity, diagnostic odysseys, and lack of curative therapies. This review aims to discuss recent advances in mitochondrial biology and medicine arising from widespread utilisation of high-throughput omics technologies, and also includes a broad discussion of emerging therapies for mitochondrial disease. New insights into both bioenergetic and biosynthetic mitochondrial functionalities have expedited the genetic diagnosis of primary mitochondrial disorders, and identified novel mitochondrial pathomechanisms and new targets

Hatakeyama) Key words: TRIM59, ECSIT, IPS-1, NF-B, IRF 1 Abstract Innate immune responses are triggered by pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and then activate intracellular signaling pathways including NF-B and interferon regulatory factors. Recently, it has been reported that tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins function as crucial regulators via ubiquitin-mediated modifications for these signaling pathways. In this study, we showed that one of the TRIM family ubiquitin ligases, TRIM59, interacts with ECSIT as an adaptor protein required for the TLR-mediated transduction pathway. Luciferase reporter assays using reporter plasmids including NF-B responsive element, interferon (IFN-) promoter and interferon-sensitive response element (ISRE) showed that overexpression of TRIM59 repressed their transcriptional activities, whereas knockdown of TRIM59 enhanced their transcriptional activities.

Indicates Equal Contribution. y Received: 11 April 2019; Accepted: 28 June 2019; Published: 4 July 2019 Abstract: During the last 100 years, cell signaling has evolved into a common mechanism for most physiological processes across systems. Although the majority of cell signaling principles were initially derived from hormonal studies, its exponential growth has been supported by interdisciplinary inputs, e.g., from physics, chemistry, mathematics, statistics, and computational fields. As a result, cell signaling has grown out of scope for any general review. Here, we review how the messages are transferred from the first messenger (the ligand) to the receptor, and then decoded with the help of cascades of second messengers (kinases, phosphatases, GTPases, ions, and small molecules such as cAMP, cGMP, diacylglycerol, etc.). The message is thus relayed from the membrane to the nucleus where gene expression ns, subsequent translations, and protein targeting to the cell membrane and other organelles are triggered. Although there are limited numbers of intracellular messengers, the specificity of the response profiles to the ligands is generated by the involvement of a combination of selected intracellular signaling intermediates. Other crucial parameters in cell signaling are its directionality and distribution of signaling strengths in different pathways that may crosstalk to adjust the amplitude and quality of the final effector output.

SnapShot: Pattern-Recognition Receptors Taro Kawai and Shizuo Akira Research Institute for Microbial Diseases, Osaka University, Osaka, Japan (A) Toll-like receptor signaling. Toll-like receptor (TLR) 3 recognizes polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly IC), whereas TLR4 recognizes lipopolysaccharide (LPS). TLR2 recog- nizes various components such as lipoprotein and peptidoglycan (PGN). TLR5 detects flagellin. TLR7 and TLR9 detect single-stranded (ss)RNA and CpG DNA, respectively. Each TLR recruits a distinct set of Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain-containing adaptor molecules such as myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88), TIR-containing adaptor protein (TIRAP, also known as MAL), TIR-containing adaptor-inducing IFNβ (TRIF, also known as TICAM1) and TRIF-related adaptor molecule (TRAM, also known as TICAM2). TLR3 uses TRIF, and TLR5, 7, and 9 use MyD88. TLR2 uses MyD88 and TIRAP, and TLR4 uses MyD88, TIRAP, TRIF, and TRAM. MyD88 binds to inter- leukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK4) and TRAF6. TRIF binds receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1) and TRAF6. TRAF6 forms a complex with Ubc13, Uev1A, and ECSIT (evolutionarily conserved signaling intermediate in Toll/IL-1R pathways) to activate a complex containing transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1), TAK1-binding protein 1 (TAB1), TAB2, and TAB3. TAK1 activates IκB kinase (IKK) complex consisting of IKKα, IKKβ, and Nemo (also known as IKKγ), which results in the phosphorylation and proteasomal degradation of IκB proteins and the release of a transcription factor NFκB to the nucleus to regulate expression of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα).
