Project description:Distinct retrograde signaling pathways have been identified for several cellular organelles. These pathways are important to maintain the function of these organelles in response to organelle-specific stress. Using Caenorhabditis elegans, we show for the first time that such a retrograde signaling also exists for peroxisomes. Analysis of the C. elegans transcriptome revealed that peroxisomal import stress caused by the knock-down of the peroxisomal matrix protein import receptor prx-5/PEX5 induces the compensatory up-regulation of genes involved in defense response and lipid metabolic processes, especially peroxisomal beta oxidation. We, therefore, propose that the peroxisomal retrograde signaling participates in the maintenance of peroxisomal function in response to peroxisomal import stress.

Project description:Peroxisomes play an essential role in the β-oxidation of dicarboxylic acids (DCAs), which are metabolites formed upon ω-oxidation of fatty acids. The physiological functions of DCA metabolism remain largely unknown. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the biological role of DCA metabolism using mice deficient in the peroxisomal L-bifunctional protein (Ehhadh KO mice). We performed RNA-seq in WT and Ehhadh KO livers, treated with vehicle or L-aminocarnitine (L-AC), an inhibitor of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. We show that, in liver, Ehhadh KO mice have increased mRNA and protein expression of cholesterol biosynthesis enzymes with decreased (in females) or similar (in males) rate of cholesterol synthesis. We conclude that EHHADH plays an essential role in the metabolism of medium-chain DCAs and postulate that peroxisomal DCA β-oxidation is a regulator of hepatic cholesterol biosynthesis.

Project description:In order to facilitate inter-tissue communication and exchange of proteins, lipoproteins, and metabolites with the circulation, hepatocytes have an intricate and efficient intracellular trafficking system regulated by small Rab GTPases. Rab30, a putative Golgi-localized Rab GTPase, is induced in the mouse liver by fasting and its expression is further amplified in liver-specific carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 knockout mice (Cpt2L-/-) that lack the ability to oxidize fatty acids in a Pparα-dependent manner. Live-cell super-resolution imaging and biochemical in vivo proximity labeling demonstrated that Rab30-marked vesicles are highly dynamic and interact with proteins throughout the secretory pathway. Rab30 whole-body, liver-specific, and Rab30;Cpt2 liver-specific double knockout (DKO) mice are viable and display intact Golgi ultrastructure. However, the loss of Rab30 in Rab30;Cpt2 DKO mice suppresses serum dyslipidemia observed in Cpt2L-/- single knockout mice. Corresponding with decreased serum triglyceride and cholesterol levels, Rab30;Cpt2 DKO mice exhibit decreased circulating but not hepatic ApoA4 protein, indicative of a trafficking defect. Together, these data suggest a role for Rab30 in the selective sorting of lipoproteins to influence hepatocyte and circulating triglyceride levels particularly during times of excessive lipid burden.

Project description:The purinergic receptor P2Y13 (P2RY13) has been shown to play a role in the uptake of holo-HDL particles in in vitro hepatocyte experiments. In order to determine the role of P2Y13 in lipoprotein metabolism in vivo, we ablated the expression of this gene in mice and found that P2Y13 knockout mice have lower plasma HDL (17%) and LDL (27%) levels as well as lower fecal concentrations of neutral sterols. In addition, significant decreases were detected in serum levels of fatty acids, glycerol and triglycerides in P2Y13 knockout mice. mRNA profiling analyses showed that ablation of P2Y13 affects hepatic gene expression in a gender-specific manner. Non-supervised agglomerative cluster analysis showed that expression changes in mice with the same genotype (KO or WT) cluster together and that distinct gene expression clusters can be observed for males and females. Subsequent gene set enrichment analysis showed increased expression of cholesterol and fatty acid biosynthesis genes, while fatty acid beta-oxidation genes were significantly decreased. Liver gene signatures also identified changes in SREBP-regulated and PPARgamma-regulated transcript levels. Differential gene expression upon P2RY13 gene ablation. Livers were isolated from male and female wildtype and P2RY13 knockout mice (6 per gender/genotype group, except for 5 per male/WT group). Isolated RNA was subjected to microarray analyses. The results of a one-way ANOVA analysis (p<0.05) showed 3471 transcripts whose relative expression changes were more than 20%.

Project description:Nudix hydrolase 7 (NUDT7) is a peroxisomal (acyl-)CoA-degrading enzyme that is highly expressed in the liver. We previously showed that liver-specific NUDT7 overexpression affects peroxisomal lipid metabolism, but does not prevent the increase in total liver CoA levels that occurs with fasting. Herein, we show that deletion of Nudt7 alters the composition of the hepatic acyl-CoA pool in mice fed a low fat diet, but only in males fed a western diet does the lack of NUDT7 increase total liver CoA levels. This effect is driven by the accumulation of medium-chain dicarboxylic acyl-CoAs, which are products of the oxidation of dicarboxylic fatty acids in the peroxisomes. We also show that, under conditions of increased cholesterol intake and elevated bile acid synthesis, Nudt7 deletion increases the production of tauro-muricholic acids, decreasing the hydrophobicity index of the intestinal bile acid pool and increasing fecal cholesterol excretion. Collectively, our findings reveal a key role for NUDT7 in the regulation of the final products of bile acid synthesis and dicarboxylic fatty acid oxidation

Project description:E. histolytica is believed to be devoid of peroxisomes, like most anaerobic protists. In this work, we provided the first evidence that peroxisomes are present in E. histolytica, although the set of proteins (peroxins) responsible for peroxisome biogenesis was reduced to only seven members (Pex1, Pex6, Pex5, Pex11, Pex14, Pex16, and Pex19). Targeting matrix proteins to peroxisomes is reduced to the PTS1-dependent pathway mediated via the soluble Pex5 receptor, while the PTS2 receptor Pex7 is absent. Immunofluorescence microscopy showed that peroxisomal markers (Pex5, Pex14, Pex16, Pex19) are present in vesicles distinct from mitosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum and the endosome/phagosome system, except Pex11, which has dual localization in peroxisomes and mitosomes. Immunoelectron microscopy revealed that Pex14 localized to vesicles of approximately 90-100 nm in diameter. Proteomic analyses of affinity-purified peroxisomes and in silico PTS1 predictions provided datasets of 655 and 56 peroxisomal candidates, respectively; however, only six proteins were shared by both datasets, including myo-inositol dehydrogenase (myo-IDH). Peroxisomal NAD-dependent myo-IDH appeared to be a dimeric enzyme with high affinity to myo-inositol (Km 0,044 mM) and can utilize also scyllo-inositol, D-glucose and D-xylose as substrates. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that orthologs of myo-IDH with PTS1 are present in E. dispar, E. nutalli and E. moshkovskii but not in E. invadens, and form a monophyletic clade of mostly peroxisomal orthologs with free-living M. balamuthi and P. schiedti. The presence of peroxisomes in E. histolytica and other archamoebae breaks the paradigm of peroxisome absence in anaerobes and provides a new potential target for the development of antiparasitic drugs.

Project description:Metabolic reprogramming of glucose and amino acids has been documented to affect early development. Here, we show that peroxisome-mediated β-oxidation is involved in lipids reprogramming to achieve H3K4me3 erasure and then zygotic genome activation (ZGA) in early embryo development. The metabolic patterns of fatty acids (FAs), triglyceride (TG) and phospholipid (PL) are reprogrammed during the oocyte-to-embryo transition. Very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs), arachidonic acid (ARA), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), lysophosphatidylethanolamine (Lyso-PE), lysophosphatidylcholine (Lyso-PC), and methyl donors are stored in oocytes, and after fertilization, they are converted into phosphatidylcholine (PC) at the 2-cell stage. Mitochondrial β-oxidation prevails in oocytes, while peroxisomal β-oxidation plays a critical role in shortening the VLCFA to form TG and synthesize PC and balancing the ratio of saturated and unsaturated FAs, which consumes the methyl donors as conducive to H3K4me3 erasure at the 2-cell stage. Inhibiting the peroxisome-mediated β-oxidation disrupts lipids metabolism remodellingH3K4me3 erasure and subsequent ZGA, leading to embryo arrest at the 2-cell stage. Oocytes from obese mice show I a relatively low level of VLCFAs, defective peroxisomal β-oxidation, and incomplete H3K4me3 erasure and ZGA. Microinjection of two saturated fatty acids, palmitic and myristic acids, rescues 2-cell arrest caused by peroxisome-mediated β-oxidation inhibition and obesity, and overexpressing Pemt to consume the methyl donors has the same rescue effect. These results elucidate a novel link among the peroxisomal-β-oxidation-mediated lipid metabolism reprogramming, H3K4me3 modification and ZGA during oocyte-embryo transition, and may provide a unique approach to improve reproduction in obese women.

Project description:Peroxisomes are organelles that are crucial for cellular metabolism. However, these organelles play also important roles in non-metabolic processes, such as signalling. To uncover the consequences of peroxisome deficiency, we compared two extremes, namely Saccharomyces cerevisiae wild-type and pex3 cells, which lack functional peroxisomes, employing transcriptomics and quantitative proteomics technology. Cells were grown on acetate, a carbon source that involves peroxisomal enzymes of the glyoxylate cycle and does not repress peroxisomal proteins. Transcripts of peroxisomal β-oxidation genes and the corresponding proteins were enhanced in pex3 cells. Peroxisome-deficiency also caused reduced levels of membrane bound peroxins, while the soluble receptors Pex5 and Pex7 were enhanced at the protein level. In addition, we observed alterations in non-peroxisomal transcripts and proteins, especially mitochondrial proteins involved in respiration or import processes. Our results not only reveal the impact of the absence of peroxisomes in yeast, but also represent a rich resource of candidate genes/proteins that are relevant in peroxisome biology.

Project description:This project sought to identify the features in PEX5 required for interaction with the peroxisomal PEX2-PEX10-PEX12 ubiquitin ligase complex. Peroxisomes equilibrated with different PEX5 mutants (i.e., C11A, AH1, AH2) were purified from Xenopus egg extract, solubilized in digitonin, and PEX5-associated material was immunoprecipitated via a C-terminal FLAG tag. PEX5 without a FLAG tag was used as a negative control. PEX5-interacting peroxins were identified by LC-MS/MS at the Taplin Mass Spectrometry Facility at Harvard Medical School.
