ABHD11 mediated deglutarylation regulates the TCA cycle and T cell metabolism

ABSTRACT: Glutarate is an intermediate of amino acid catabolism and an important metabolite for reprogramming T cell immunity, exerting its effects by inhibition of histone demethylase enzymes or through glutarylation. However, how distinct glutarate modifications are regulated is unclear. Here, we uncover a deglutarylation pathway that couples amino acid catabolism to tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle function. By examining how glutarate can form conjugates with lipoate, an essential mitochondrial modification for the TCA cycle, we find that Alpha Beta Hydrolase Domain 11 (ABHD11) protects against the formation of glutaryl-lipoyl adducts. Mechanistically, ABHD11 acts as a thioesterase to selectively remove glutaryl adducts from lipoate, maintaining integrity of the TCA cycle. Functionally, ABHD11 influences the metabolic reprogramming of human T cells, increasing central memory T cell formation and attenuating oxidative phosphorylation. These results uncover ABHD11 as a selective deglutarylating enzyme and highlight that targeting ABHD11 offers a potential approach to metabolically reprogramme cytotoxic T cells.

Project description:Exposure to hypoxia disrupts energy metabolism and induces inflammation. However, the pathways and mechanisms underlying energy metabolism disorders caused by hypoxic conditions remain unclear. In this study, we constructed a hypoxic animal model and applied transcriptomic and non-targeted metabolomics techniques to further investigate the pathways and mechanisms of hypoxia exposure that disrupt energy metabolism. Transcriptome results showed that 3007 genes were significantly differentially expressed under hypoxic exposure, and Gene Ontology (GO) annotation analysis and Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis showed that the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were mainly involved in energy metabolism and were significantly enriched in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) pathway. Differential genes in the TCA cycle (IDH3A, SUCLA2, and MDH2) and OXPHOS pathway (NDUFA3, NDUFS7, UQCRC1, CYC1, and UQCRFS1) were validated using mRNA and protein expression, and the results showed downregulation. The results of non-targeted metabolomics showed that 365 significant differential metabolites were identified under plateau hypoxia stress. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the differential metabolites were mainly enriched in metabolic processes, such as energy metabolism, nucleotide metabolism, and amino acid metabolism. Hypoxia exposure disrupted the TCA cycle and reduced the synthesis of amino acids and nucleotides by decreasing the concentrations of cis-aconitate, α-ketoglutarate, NADH, NADPH, most amino acids, purines, and pyrimidines. Bioinformatics analysis was used to identify inflammatory genes related to hypoxia exposure, and some inflammatory genes were selected for verification. We found that the mRNA and protein expression levels of IL1B, IL12B, S100A8, and S100A9 in kidney tissues were upregulated under hypoxic exposure. Our results suggest that hypoxia exposure inhibits the TCA cycle and OXPHOS signalling pathway by inhibiting IDH3A, SUCLA2, MDH2, NDUFFA3, NDUFS7, UQCRC1, CYC1, and UQCRFS1, thereby suppressing energy metabolism, inducing amino acid and nucleotide deficiency, and promoting inflammation, ultimately leading to kidney damage.

Project description:Malic enzymes decarboxylate the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediate malate to the glycolytic end-product pyruvate and are well positioned to regulate metabolic flux in central carbon metabolism. The bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti has a NAD(P)-malic enzyme (DME) and a NADP-malic enzyme (TME) and DME is required for symbiotic N2-fixation. To help understand the role of these enzymes, we examined growth, metabolic and transcriptional consequences resulting from the deletion of these enzymes. Few effects were observed upon growth with glucose, whereas growth with the gluconeogenic substrate, succinate, resulted in transcriptional and metabolic effects particularly in the dme mutant strains. When grown with succinate, DME mutant cells accumulated hexose sugar phosphates and trehalose, while TME mutants accumulated putrescine. Succinate-grown DME mutant cells also showed increased transcription of genes for gluconeogenesis and for pathways such as amino acid and fatty acid synthesis that divert metabolites away from the TCA cycle. These data suggested that, DME is required to regulate the levels of TCA cycle intermediates and that the activity of TME is insufficient to prevent the accumulation of TCA cycle intermediates in cells utilizing succinate as carbon source. Consistent with this, in short-1-3 hour incubations with succinate, dme mutant cells excreted large amounts of malate whereas little malate was excreted from tme or wild-type cells. These results support the suggestion that DME is required for N2-fixation in alfalfa because it is required for synthesis of pyruvate and acetyl-CoA and the rapid metabolism of C4-dicarboxylates supplied by the plant. RNA expression was measured for S. meliloti in exponential phase grown in MOPS (morpholinpropanesulfonic acid) buffered minimal media under 2 growth conditions: 1) 15 mM succinate, 2) 15 mM glucose; using wild type cells as well as dme and tme mutant strains (6 experiments, 2 replicates: total 12 samples)
