Amino Acids Downregulate SIRT4 to Detoxify Ammonia through the Urea Cycle

ABSTRACT: Ammonia production via glutamate dehydrogenase is inhibited by SIRT4, a sirtuin that displays both amidase and non-amidase activities. The processes underlying the regulation of ammonia removal by amino acids remain unclear. Here, we report that SIRT4 acts as a decarbamylase that responds to amino acid sufficiency and regulates ammonia removal. Amino acids promote lysine 307 carbamylation (OTCCP-K307) of ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC), which activates OTC and the urea cycle. Proteomic and interactome screening identified OTC as a substrate of SIRT4. SIRT4 decarbamylates OTCCP-K307 and inactivates OTC in a NAD+-dependent manner. SIRT4 expression was transcriptionally upregulated by the amino acid insufficiency-activated GCN2–eIF2a–ATF4 axis. SIRT4 knockout in cultured cells caused higher OTCCP-K307 levels, activated OTC, elevated urea cycle intermediates, and urea production via amino acid catabolism. Sirt4 ablation decreased mouse blood ammonia levels and ameliorated CCl4-induced hepatic encephalopathy phenotypes. We reveal that SIRT4 safeguards cellular ammonia toxicity during amino acid catabolism.

Comparison of Corynebacterium glutamicum with GABA or glucose as carbon source

Project description:γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a non-proteinogenic amino acid and widespread in nature from microorganisms to plants and animals. DNA microarray analysis revealed that the transcription of gabTDP was strongly increased in C. glutamicum wild type grown with GABA and urea compared to the same strain cultivated with glucose and urea. Remarkably, the presence of ammonia partially inhibited growth on GABA, and the reasons for it were also investigated in this study.

The cockroach Blattella germanica obtains nitrogen from uric acid through a metabolic pathway shared with its bacterial endosymbiont

Project description:Uric acid stored in the fat body of cockroaches is a nitrogen reservoir mobilized in times of scarcity. The discovery of urease in Blattabacterium cuenoti, the primary endosymbiont of cockroaches, suggests that the endosymbiont may participate in cockroach nitrogen economy. However, bacterial urease may only be one piece in the entire nitrogen recycling process from insect uric acid. Thus, in addition to the uricolytic pathway to urea, there must be glutamine synthetase assimilating the released ammonia by the urease reaction to enable the stored nitrogen to be metabolically usable. None of the Blattabacterium genomes sequenced to date possess genes encoding for those enzymes. To test the host's contribution to the process, we have sequenced and analysed Blattella germanica transcriptomes from the fat body. We identified transcripts corresponding to all genes necessary for the synthesis of uric acid and its catabolism to urea, as well as for the synthesis of glutamine, asparagine, proline and glycine, i.e. the amino acids required by the endosymbiont. We also explored the changes in gene expression with different dietary protein levels. It appears that the ability to use uric acid as a nitrogen reservoir emerged in cockroaches after its age-old symbiotic association with bacteri

Control of regulatory T cell function by the non-oxidative pentose phosphate pathway [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Non-oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) is a crucial gatekeeper of glucose catabolism in metabolic tissues. However, its role in regulatory T cells (Tregs) remains unknown. Here we report deleting transketolase (TKT), an indispensable enzyme of non-oxidative PPP, in Tregs caused a fatal auto-immune disease in mice. TKT deletion impaired suppressive capability without disturbing Treg cell number. Mechanistically, TKT deficiency caused Treg metabolic remodeling with decreased glucose catabolism, activated fatty acid and amino acid catabolism and uncontrolled oxidative phosphorylation. Moreover, excessive ammonia from deregulated amino acid catabolism impaired mitochondrial fitness while reduced α-ketoglutarate/succinate ratio led to DNA hypermethylation, limiting functional gene expression and suppressive activity of TKT-deficient Tregs. Therefore, our study identifies non-oxidative PPP as a new pathway for controlling Treg function.

RNA-seq of livers from glucagon receptor knock-out (GcgrKO) mice compared to wildtype littermates

Project description:Glucagon is a key regulator of glucose homeostasis, amino acid catabolism, and lipid metabolism. Glucagon receptor knock-out (GcgrKO) mice have slightly reduced blood glucose levels whereas plasma levels of amino acids are vastly increased reflecting disruption of hepatic amino acid catabolism. To dissect the molecular mechanisms underlying this effect, RNA sequencing of livers from male GcgrKO mice and wild-type littermates were performed. The mice were 10 weeks of age and were subjected to a short-term fast of 4 h before anesthesia with 2.5% isoflurane.
