Isotope Labeled Reactivity-Based Metabolomics Reveal Cysteine as a Potent In Vivo Scavenger of Lactoylglutathione

ABSTRACT:

Metabolite adducts are increasingly being recognized as important intermediates in cellular metabolism and as circulating messengers. Methylglyoxal (MG) is a highly reactive metabolite involved in diabetes and aging, via formation of a wide variety of protein adducts. Though new types of protein adducts with biological function continuously appear, little is known regarding the potentially more diverse MG-metabolite adductome. To address this, we here devise a “symmetric” isotopic labeling and reactivity-based metabolomics approach. We find more than 100 direct MG- as well as lactoylglutathione (LGSH)-derived adducts and among them characterize 10 as D- and L-lactoylated amino acids. We find cysteine to generate mainly L-Lac-Cys from MG, whereas the diasteromer , D-lactoyl-cysteine, mainly originate via a rapid reaction with LGSH with rates on par with click-reactions. The reaction salvages glutathione and also scavenges/regulate prote in cysteine lactoylation, in aggregate assigning cysteine with both glyoxalase 1 and 2 like function. Several of the adducts are circulating human metabolites, as well as D-Lac-Cys, L-Lac-Cys and D-Lac-Phe are increased in the urine of diabetic mice and may serve as a novel type of biomarker for metabolic diseases.

Project description:Chemical skin and respiratory allergies affect many people around the world and are becoming a major public health problem. To date our knowledge on the process of protein haptenation is still limited and mainly derived from studies performed in solution using either amino acids, model peptides, isolated proteins or cell lysates. In order to better understand chemical interactions occurring between respiratory allergens and the skin, we have investigated the reactivity of phthalic anhydride 1 (PA), a chemical respiratory allergen, towards a reconstructed human epidermis model. This study was performed using a new approach combining reconstructed human epidermis (RHE) as a skin model, HRMAS NMR technique to investigate the in situ chemical reactivity and LC-MS/MS to identify modified epidermal proteins. The reaction of PA appeared to be quite fast in RHE compared to model experiments because after 30 min of incubation, no residual signal corresponding to (13C)-1 could be detected. The major product formed could be assigned to phthalic acid, the hydrolysis product of PA. Two amide type adducts on lysine residues were observed and after 8h of incubation, we also observed the formation of an imide type cyclized adducts with lysine. In parallel, RHE samples topically exposed to phthalic anhydride (13C)-1 were analyzed using the shotgun proteomics method. Thus, 948 different proteins were extracted and identified, 135 of which being modified by PA i.e. 14.2% of the extracted proteome. A total of 886 amino acids were modified by PA, of which 211 modifications were validated by fragmentation spectra. We thus identified 475 modified lysine residues (154 validated modifications associated with 122 proteins i.e. 12.9% of the proteome), 183 modified His residues (22 validated modifications associated with 42 proteins i.e. 4.4% of the proteome), 119 modified Tyr residues (30 validated modifications associated with 58 proteins i.e. 6.1% of the proteome) and 109 modified Arg residues (5 validated modifications associated with 25 proteins i.e. 2.6% of the proteome). The rate of modified residues, as a proportion of the total number of modifiable nucleophilic residues in RHE, was rather low (1%) and PA modifications were mainly observed on lysine residues with the formation of amide type adducts with a mass increase of +149 Da and a small number of imide type adducts with an increase mass of +131 Da. At the protein level, modified proteins were mainly type I and Type II keratins and other proteins which are abundant in the epidermis such as protein S100A, Caspase 14, annexin A2, serpin B3, Fatty-acid binding protein 5, histone H2, H3, H4 etc. However, the most modified protein, mainly on histidine residues, was filaggrin, a protein that is sparse (0.0266 mol%) and rich in histidine.

Project description:Cysteine occupies a central position in plant metabolism due to its biochemical functions. Arabidopsis thaliana cells contain different O-acetylserine(thiol)lyase (OASTL) enzymes that catalyze the biosynthesis of cysteine. Because they are localized in the cytosol, plastids and mitochondria, this results in multiple subcellular cysteine pools. Much progress has been made on the most abundant OASTL enzymes; however, information on the less abundant OASTL-like proteins has been scarce. To unequivocally establish the enzymatic reaction catalyzed by the minor cytosolic OASTL isoform CS-LIKE (AT5G28030), we expressed this enzyme in bacteria and characterized the purified recombinant protein. Our results demonstrate that CS-LIKE catalyzes the desulfuration of L-cysteine to sulfide plus ammonia and pyruvate. Thus, CS-LIKE is a novel L-cysteine desulfhydrase (EC 4.4.1.1), and we propose to designate it DES1. The impact and functionality of DES1 in cysteine metabolism was revealed by the phenotype of the T-DNA insertion mutants des1-1 and des1-2. Mutation of the DES1 gene leads to premature leaf senescence, as demonstrated by the increased expression of senescence-associated genes and transcription factors. Also, the absence of DES1 significantly reduces the total cysteine desulfuration activity in leaves, and there is a concomitant increase in the total cysteine content. As a consequence, the expression levels of sulfur-responsive genes are de-regulated, and the mutant plants show enhanced antioxidant defenses and tolerance to conditions that promote oxidative stress. Our results suggest that DES1 from Arabidopsis is an L-cysteine desulfhydrase involved in maintaining cysteine homeostasis, mainly at late developmental stages or under environmental perturbations. Using the Affymetrix ATH1 GeneChips, we performed a comparative transcriptomic analysis on leaves of the des1-1 and wild type plants grown on soil for three weeks. Three biological replicates were performed for each sample and hybridized to the chips. We made the comparison of des1-1 leaves versus wild-type leaves to classify the differently expressed genes in the mutant plant.
