SLC25A45 mediates mitochondrial import of methylated mitochondrial amino acids and carnitine biosynthesis

ABSTRACT: Solute carriers (SLCs) regulate cellular and organismal metabolism by transporting small molecules and ions across membranes, yet the physiological substrates of ~20% remain elusive. To address this, we developed a supervised machine learning platform to predict and prioritize gene-metabolite associations. This approach identifies UNC93A and SLC45A4 as candidate plasma membrane transporters for acetylglucosamine and polyamines, respectively. Additionally, we uncover SLC25A45 as a mitochondrial transporter linked to serum levels of methylated basic amino acids, products of protein catabolism. Mechanistically, SLC25A45 is necessary for the mitochondrial import of methylated basic amino acids, including ADMA and TML, the latter serving as a precursor for carnitine synthesis. In line with this observation, SLC25A45 loss impairs hepatic carnitine synthesis and upregulation of carnitine-containing metabolites under fasted conditions. By facilitating mitochondrial TML import, SLC25A45 connects protein catabolism to carnitine production, sustaining β-oxidation during fasting. Altogether, our study identifies putative substrates for three SLCs and provides a resource for transporter deorphanization.

Effects of Triad1-knockdown on ribosome/polysome profiles are reversed by Gcn1-knockdown

Project description:Previously, we identified ARIH2, the gene encoding Triad1, as a HoxA10 target gene. We found that HoxA10-induced expression of Triad1 was necessary for termination of emergency granulopoiesis, and antagonized leukemogenesis in a murine model of KMT2A-rearranged AML. In this study, we found that knockdown Triad1 increased polysome-specific mRNAs regulating the cellular response to stress, the DNA-damage response, ribosomal biogenesis, or protein catabolism, but decreased mRNAs regulating mitosis, DNA-repair, DNA and RNA metabolism, or Tp53 activity in U937 cells. Polysome-specific mRNAs for Solute Carrier Proteins (SLCs) were also increased by Triad1-knockdown, consistent with correction of metabolic defects during the ISR. This included SLCs involved in import of amino acids, long chain fatty acids and glucose, and lactate export. In comparison of polysome-specific mRNA profiles with Triad1-knockdown versus knockdown of Triad1 plus Gcn1, we identified the same gene and pathway differences as in comparison of Triad1-knockdown to control cells. There were only minor differences in polysome specific mRNAs in cells with Triad1- plus Gcn1-knockdown versus control cells, encompassing fewer differences than with Triad1-knockdown alone. This suggested that Triad1-knockdown on ribosome/polysome profiles are reversed by Gcn1-knockdown in U937 cells.

The class 3 PI3K coordinates autophagy and mitochondrial lipid catabolism by controlling nuclear receptor PPARα

Project description:The class 3 phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) is required for the lysosomal degradation by autophagy and vesicular trafficking, assuring adaptation to energy shortages. Mitochondrial lipid catabolism is another important energy source. Autophagy and mitochondrial metabolism are transcriptionally controlled by nutrient sensing nuclear receptors. However, it is not known whether the class 3 PI3K contributes to this regulation. Here we show that hepatocyte-specific inactivation of Vps15, the essential regulatory subunit of the class 3 PI3K, results in mitochondrial depletion and a failure to oxidize fatty acids. Mechanistically, the transcriptional activity of Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor alpha (PPARα), a nuclear receptor that orchestrates fatty acid catabolism, is blunted in Vps15-deficient livers. We find PPARα transcriptional repressors Histone Deacetylase 3 (Hdac3) and Nuclear receptor co-repressor 1 (NCoR1) accumulated in Vps15-deficient livers due to defective autophagic flux. Pharmacologic activation of PPARα with a synthetic ligand, re-expression of its co-activator Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma Coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α) or inhibition of Hdac3 restored mitochondrial biogenesis and lipid oxidation in Vps15-deficient hepatocytes. These findings reveal a role for the class 3 PI3K and autophagy in transcriptional coordination of mitochondrial metabolism.

Epistasis-driven identification of SLC25A51 as a regulator of human mitochondrial NAD import

Project description:About a thousand genes in the human genome encode for membrane transporters. Among these, several solute carrier proteins (SLCs), representing the largest group of transporters, are still orphan and lack functional characterization. We reasoned that assessing genetic interactions among SLCs may be an efficient way to obtain functional information allowing their deorphanization. Here we describe a network of strong genetic interactions indicating a contribution to mitochondrial respiration and redox metabolism for SLC25A51/MCART1, an uncharacterized member of the SLC25 family of transporters. Through a combination of metabolomics, genomics and genetics approaches, we demonstrate a role for SLC25A51 as enabler of mitochondrial import of NAD, showcasing the potential of genetic interaction-driven functional gene deorphanization.

PDK1 coordinates mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy to ensure mitochondrial maturation in post-natal cardiomyocytes

Project description:During early post-natal stage, cardiomyocytes undergo dramatic structural, metabolic, electrophysiological and cell cycle alterations towards maturation. Among them, the metabolic shift from carbohydrates to fatty acids metabolism is achieved along with mitochondrial biogenesis, dynamic switch and mitophagy. However, the regulatory mechanisms responsible for coordinated mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy in mitochondrial maturation remain unclear. Here, we found that ablation of PDK1 in post-natal cardiomyocytes impairs mitochondrial maturation and metabolism, characterizing by arrest of mitochondria in neonatal stage, low levels of a subset of fatty acids and acylcarnitines. In addition, loss of PDK1 results in dysregulated mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy. An imbalance of the AMPK-mTOR pathway and reduced phosphorylation of PDK1 substrates, including PKA and PKC family members, are observed. These results demonstrated that PDK1 ensures mitochondrial maturation and metabolic shift through kinase-dependent substrate phosphorylation and maintenance of the AMPK-mTOR axis to coordinate mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy.

mitoCPR - a surveillance pathway that protects mitochondria in response to mitochondrial import stress

Project description:Mitochondrial functions are essential for cell viability and rely on protein import into the organelle. Various disease and stress conditions can lead to mitochondrial import defects. We find that inhibition of mitochondrial import in budding yeast activates a surveillance mechanism, mitoCPR, that is aimed at ameliorating mitochondrial import and protecting mitochondria during import stress. mitoCPR induces expression of Cis1 which associates with the mitochondrial translocase to reduce the accumulation of mitochondrial precursor proteins at the organelle surface. Clearance of precursor proteins depends on the Cis1 interacting AAA+ ATPase Msp1 and the proteasome suggesting that Cis1 facilitates degradation of un-imported proteins at the mitochondrial surface.

mitoCPR - a surveillance pathway that protects mitochondria in response to mitochondrial import stress [human]

Project description:Mitochondrial functions are essential for cell viability and rely on protein import into the organelle. Physiological perturbations and disease conditions can lead to mitochondrial import defect. We find that in budding yeast, mitochondrial import defects result in activation of a surveillance mechanism, which we termed mitoCPR. The mitoCPR is aimed at ameliorating mitochondrial import and protecting mitochondria during import stress. This is mediated by the mitoCPR effector, Cis1, which associates with mitochondria to reduce the accumulation of mitochondrial preproteins at the organelle's surface. Clearance of preproteins depends on the AAA-ATPase Msp1 and the proteasome, suggesting that Cis1 facilitates the degradation of unimported proteins that accumulate at the mitochondrial surface. We further show that mitoCPR is critical for maintaining mitochondrial functions during mitochondrial import stress and provide evidence that it is an ancient, conserved mitochondrial protection mechanism.

Direct mitochondrial import of lactate supports resilient carbohydrate oxidation

Project description:Lactate is the most abundant circulating metabolic intermediate in mammals and an important energy source for many organs. To use lactate as a fuel, it must be oxidized to pyruvate for entry into the TCA cycle. It is usually described that this reaction occurs in the cytosol and requires the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) for pyruvate transport into the mitochondria. Here, using 13C stable isotope tracing, we report that lactate can be oxidized in the heart tissue of mice even when the MPC is genetically deleted. MPC-independent lactate import and oxidation within mitochondria is dependent upon the monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1/ Slc16a1). Mitochondria isolated from Mct1iCKO hearts have impaired respiration on lactate but not pyruvate. Lactate import coupled to mitochondrial lactate dehydrogenase activity functions as an electron shuttle which can produce NADH sufficient for respiration even when the TCA cycle is blocked. Cardiac-specific loss of MCT1 leads to rapid decompensation into heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in response to diverse cardiac injuries. Thus, we identify a new mitochondrial electron shuttle that enables the oxidation of lactate and is required to support cardiac energetics under stress conditions.

Mitochondrial protein import clogging as a mechanism of disease

Project description:Mitochondrial biogenesis requires the import of >1,000 mitochondrial preproteins from the cytosol. Most studies on mitochondrial protein import are focused on the core import machinery. Whether and how the biophysical properties of substrate preproteins affect overall import efficiency is underexplored. Here, we show that protein traffic into mitochondria can be disrupted by amino acid substitutions in a single substrate preprotein. Pathogenic missense mutations in adenine nucleotide translocase 1 (Ant1), and its yeast homolog Aac2, cause the protein to accumulate along the protein import pathway, thereby obstructing general protein translocation into mitochondria. This impairs mitochondrial respiration, cytosolic proteostasis and cell viability independent of Ant1’s nucleotide transport activity. The mutations act synergistically, as double mutant Aac2/Ant1 cause severe clogging primarily at the Translocase of the Outer Membrane (TOM) complex. This confers extreme toxicity in yeast. In mice, expression of a super-clogger Ant1 variant led to neurodegeneration and an age-dependent dominant myopathy that phenocopy Ant1-induced human disease, suggesting clogging as a mechanism of disease. More broadly, this work implies the existence of uncharacterized amino acid requirements for mitochondrial carrier proteins to avoid clogging and subsequent disease.

A direct role for a mitochondrial targeting sequence in triggering a stress response

Project description:Mitochondrial protein import is required for maintaining organellar function. Perturbations in this process are associated with various physiological and disease conditions. Several stress responses, including the mitoCPR, combat damage caused by mitochondrial protein import stress. However, it remains unknown how this defect is sensed. Here, we reveal that the conserved mitochondrial Hsp70 co-chaperone, Mge1, acts as a stress messenger in budding yeast. During mitochondrial stress, unimported Mge1 entered the nucleus and triggered the transcription of mitoCPR target genes. This was mediated by Mge1’s interaction with the transcription factor Pdr3 on DNA regulatory elements. Mge1’s mitochondrial targeting sequence was both sufficient and essential for mitoCPR induction, demonstrating that in addition to their roles in mitochondrial protein import, targeting sequences can also function as signaling molecules.
