Mitochondrial Matrix Proteases As Novel Therapeutic Targets in Malignancy Oncogene (2014) 33, 2690–2699 & 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0950-9232/14 www.nature.com/onc REVIEW Mitochondrial matrix proteases as novel therapeutic targets in malignancy CA Goard and AD Schimmer Although mitochondrial function is often altered in cancer, it remains essential for tumor viability. Tight control of protein homeostasis is required for the maintenance of mitochondrial function, and the mitochondrial matrix houses several coordinated protein quality control systems. These include three evolutionarily conserved proteases of the AAA þ superfamily—the Lon, ClpXP and m-AAA proteases. In humans, these proteases are proposed to degrade, process and chaperone the assembly of mitochondrial proteins in the matrix and inner membrane involved in oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondrial protein synthesis, mitochondrial network dynamics and nucleoid function. In addition, these proteases are upregulated by a variety of mitochondrial stressors, including oxidative stress, unfolded protein stress and imbalances in respiratory complex assembly. Given that tumor cells must survive and proliferate under dynamic cellular stress conditions, dysregulation of mitochondrial protein quality control systems may provide a selective advantage. The association of mitochondrial matrix AAA þ proteases with cancer and their potential for therapeutic modulation therefore warrant further consideration. Although our current knowledge of the endogenous human substrates of these proteases is limited, we highlight functional insights gained from cultured human cells, protease-deficient mouse models and other eukaryotic model organisms. We also review the consequences of disrupting mitochondrial matrix AAA þ proteases through genetic and pharmacological approaches, along with implications of these studies on the potential of these proteases as anticancer therapeutic targets.

Approximately 20 peptidases have been found unneeded.

Schematic representation of the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and AAA þ protease systems. The mitochondrial matrix is separated from the cytoplasm by two membranes, the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) and the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM). (a) Respiratory chain complexes I to V (where complex V is also known as the F1F0 ATP synthase) are found in the IMM and used to generate ATP in the mitochondrial matrix through oxidative phosphorylation. The numbers of subunits encoded by nuclear DNA (nDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in mammalian mitochondria are listed. (b) The mitochondrial matrix contains three proteases of the AAA þ superfamily to modulate protein quality control and degradation. The human Lon protease, LONP1 (lon peptidase 1, mitochondrial), is found in both a free form and in association with mtDNA, which is assembled with several matrix proteins in a complex structure called the nucleoid. The human ClpXP protease is formed of the CLPP (ClpP caseinolytic peptidase, ATP-dependent, proteolytic subunit homolog (Escherichia coli)) protease in association with the CLPX (ClpX caseinolytic peptidase X homolog (E. coli)) ATPase. The matrix ATPase associated with diverse cellular activity (m-AAA) protease is tethered to the IMM, with its enzymatic domain exposed to the matrix. In humans, this protease can be formed as a heterooligomeric or homooligomeric complex of two subunit types. c, cytochrome c; Clp, caseinolytic peptidase; Q, coenzyme Q. Table 1.

ABSTRACT Mitochondria are critical in the regulation of cellular metabolism and influence signaling processes and inflammatory responses. Mitochondrial DNA mutations and mitochondrial dysfunction are known to cause a wide range of pathological conditions and are associated with various immune diseases. The findings in this work describe the effect of a mutation in the mitochondrially encoded mt-Atp8 gene in the conplastic mouse strain C57BL/6J-mtFVB/NJ on the mitochondrial function and consequent alterations to metabolic and immunological phenotypes. This work provides insights into the mutation-induced cellular adaptations that influence the inflammatory milieu and shape pathological processes, in particular focusing on autoimmune bullous diseases, which have recently been reported to be associated with mtDNA polymorphisms in the human MT-ATP8 gene. The mt-Atp8 mutation diminishes the assembly of the ATP synthase complex into multimers and decreases mitochondrial respiration, affects generation of reactive oxygen species thus leading to a shift in the metabolic balance and reduction in the energy state of the cell as indicated by the ratio ATP to ADP.

The architecture of mitoribosomes is mainly composed of mitochondrial ribosomal proteins (MRPs), which are encoded by nuclear genomic DNA. Emerging experimental evidences reveal that several MRPs are multifunctional and they exhibit important extra-mitochondrial functions, such as involvement in apoptosis, protein biosynthesis and signal transduction. Dysregulations of the MRPs are associated with severe pathological conditions, including cancer.

Received: 29 April 2020; Accepted: 15 May 2020; Published: 18 May 2020 Abstract: Mitochondria serve as a hub for many cellular processes, including bioenergetics, metabolism, cellular signaling, redox balance, calcium homeostasis, and cell death. The mitochondrial proteome includes over a thousand proteins, encoded by both the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes. The majority (~99%) of proteins are nuclear encoded that are synthesized in the cytosol and subsequently imported into the mitochondria. Within the mitochondria, polypeptides fold and assemble into their native functional form. Mitochondria health and integrity depend on correct protein import, folding, and regulated turnover termed as mitochondrial protein quality control (MPQC). Failure to maintain these processes can cause mitochondrial dysfunction that leads to various pathophysiological outcomes and the commencement of diseases. Here, we summarize the current knowledge about the role of different MPQC regulatory systems such as mitochondrial chaperones, proteases, the ubiquitin-proteasome system, mitochondrial unfolded protein response, mitophagy, and mitochondria-derived vesicles in the maintenance of mitochondrial proteome and health. The proper understanding of mitochondrial protein quality control mechanisms will provide relevant insights to treat multiple human diseases.

  • Protection of Scaffold Protein Isu from Degradation by the Lon Protease Pim1 As a Component of Fe–S Cluster Biogenesis Regulation
    M BoC | ARTICLE Protection of scaffold protein Isu from degradation by the Lon protease Pim1 as a component of Fe–S cluster biogenesis regulation Szymon J. Ciesielskia, Brenda Schilkea, Jaroslaw Marszaleka,b, and Elizabeth A. Craiga,* aDepartment of Biochemistry, University of Wisconsin–Madison, Madison, WI 53706; bIntercollegiate Faculty of Biotechnology, University of Gdansk and Medical University of Gdansk, Gdansk 80307, Poland ABSTRACT Iron–sulfur (Fe–S) clusters, essential protein cofactors, are assembled on the mi- Monitoring Editor tochondrial scaffold protein Isu and then transferred to recipient proteins via a multistep Thomas D. Fox process in which Isu interacts sequentially with multiple protein factors. This pathway is in Cornell University part regulated posttranslationally by modulation of the degradation of Isu, whose abundance Received: Dec 4, 2015 increases >10-fold upon perturbation of the biogenesis process. We tested a model in which Revised: Jan 22, 2016 direct interaction with protein partners protects Isu from degradation by the mitochondrial Accepted: Jan 25, 2016 Lon-type protease. Using purified components, we demonstrated that Isu is indeed a sub- strate of the Lon-type protease and that it is protected from degradation by Nfs1, the sulfur donor for Fe–S cluster assembly, as well as by Jac1, the J-protein Hsp70 cochaperone that functions in cluster transfer from Isu. Nfs1 and Jac1 variants known to be defective in interac- tion with Isu were also defective in protecting Isu from degradation. Furthermore, overpro- duction of Jac1 protected Isu from degradation in vivo, as did Nfs1. Taken together, our re- sults lead to a model of dynamic interplay between a protease and protein factors throughout the Fe–S cluster assembly and transfer process, leading to up-regulation of Isu levels under conditions when Fe–S cluster biogenesis does not meet cellular demands.
