Structure-function analyses of the G729R 2-oxoadipate dehydrogenase genetic variant associated with a disorder of l-lysine metabolism.

ABSTRACT: 2-Oxoadipate dehydrogenase (E1a, also known as DHTKD1, dehydrogenase E1, and transketolase domain-containing protein 1) is a thiamin diphosphate-dependent enzyme and part of the 2-oxoadipate dehydrogenase complex (OADHc) in l-lysine catabolism. Genetic findings have linked mutations in the DHTKD1 gene to several metabolic disorders. These include α-aminoadipic and α-ketoadipic aciduria (AMOXAD), a rare disorder of l-lysine, l-hydroxylysine, and l-tryptophan catabolism, associated with clinical presentations such as developmental delay, mild-to-severe intellectual disability, ataxia, epilepsy, and behavioral disorders that cannot currently be managed by available treatments. A heterozygous missense mutation, c.2185G→A (p.G729R), in DHTKD1 has been identified in most AMOXAD cases. Here, we report that the G729R E1a variant when assembled into OADHc in vitro displays a 50-fold decrease in catalytic efficiency for NADH production and a significantly reduced rate of glutaryl-CoA production by dihydrolipoamide succinyl-transferase (E2o). However, the G729R E1a substitution did not affect any of the three side-reactions associated solely with G729R E1a, prompting us to determine the structure-function effects of this mutation. A multipronged systematic analysis of the reaction rates in the OADHc pathway, supplemented with results from chemical cross-linking and hydrogen-deuterium exchange MS, revealed that the c.2185G→A DHTKD1 mutation affects E1a-E2o assembly, leading to impaired channeling of OADHc intermediates. Cross-linking between the C-terminal region of both E1a and G729R E1a with the E2o lipoyl and core domains suggested that correct positioning of the C-terminal E1a region is essential for the intermediate channeling. These findings may inform the development of interventions to counter the effects of pathogenic DHTKD1 mutations.

Project description:BackgroundThe DHTKD1-encoded 2-oxoadipate dehydrogenase (OADH) oxidizes 2-oxoadipate-a common intermediate of the lysine and tryptophan catabolism. The mostly low and cell-specific flux through these pathways, and similar activities of OADH and ubiquitously expressed 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDH), agree with often asymptomatic phenotypes of heterozygous mutations in the DHTKD1 gene. Nevertheless, OADH/DHTKD1 are linked to impaired insulin sensitivity, cardiovascular disease risks, and Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy. We hypothesize that systemic significance of OADH relies on its generation of glutaryl residues for protein glutarylation. Using pharmacological inhibition of OADH and the animal model of spinal cord injury (SCI), we explore this hypothesis.MethodsThe weight-drop model of SCI, a single intranasal administration of an OADH-directed inhibitor trimethyl adipoyl phosphonate (TMAP), and quantification of the associated metabolic changes in the rat brain employ established methods.ResultsThe TMAP-induced metabolic changes in the brain of the control, laminectomized (LE) and SCI rats are long-term and (patho)physiology-dependent. Increased glutarylation of the brain proteins, proportional to OADH expression in the control and LE rats, represents a long-term consequence of the OADH inhibition. The proportionality suggests autoglutarylation of OADH, supported by our mass-spectrometric identification of glutarylated K155 and K818 in recombinant human OADH. In SCI rats, TMAP increases glutarylation of the brain proteins more than OADH expression, inducing a strong perturbation in the brain glutathione metabolism. The redox metabolism is not perturbed by TMAP in LE animals, where the inhibition of OADH increases expression of deglutarylase sirtuin 5. The results reveal the glutarylation-imposed control of the brain glutathione metabolism. Glutarylation of the ODP2 subunit of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex at K451 is detected in the rat brain, linking the OADH function to the brain glucose oxidation essential for the redox state. Short-term inhibition of OADH by TMAP administration manifests in increased levels of tryptophan and decreased levels of sirtuins 5 and 3 in the brain.ConclusionPharmacological inhibition of OADH affects acylation system of the brain, causing long-term, (patho)physiology-dependent changes in the expression of OADH and sirtuin 5, protein glutarylation and glutathione metabolism. The identified glutarylation of ODP2 subunit of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex provides a molecular mechanism of the OADH association with diabetes.
