Abstract
Impaired brain glucose metabolism is an early indicator of Alzheimer's disease (AD); however, the fundamental mechanism is unknown. In this study, we found a substantial decline in isocitrate dehydrogenase 3β (IDH3β) levels, a critical tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme, in AD patients and AD-transgenic mice's brains. Further investigations demonstrated that the knockdown of IDH3β induced oxidation-phosphorylation uncoupling, leading to reduced energy metabolism and lactate accumulation. The resulting increased lactate, a source of lactyl, was found to promote histone lactylation, thereby enhancing the expression of paired-box gene 6 (PAX6). As an inhibitory transcription factor of IDH3β, the elevated PAX6 in turn inhibited the expression of IDH3β, leading to tau hyperphosphorylation, synapse impairment, and learning and memory deficits resembling those seen in AD. In AD-transgenic mice, upregulating IDH3β and downregulating PAX6 were found to improve cognitive functioning and reverse AD-like pathologies. Collectively, our data suggest that impaired oxidative phosphorylation accelerates AD progression via a positive feedback inhibition loop of IDH3β-lactate-PAX6-IDH3β. Breaking this loop by upregulating IDH3β or downregulating PAX6 attenuates AD neurodegeneration and cognitive impairments.

Abstract
Eukaryotic NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases (NAD-IDHs) are mitochondria-localized enzymes which catalyze the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate using NAD as a cofactor. In mammals, NAD-IDHs (or IDH3) consist of three types of subunits (α, β, and γ), and exist as (α2βγ)2 heterooctamer. Mammalian NAD-IDHs are regulated allosterically and/or competitively by a diversity of metabolites including citrate, ADP, ATP, NADH, and NADPH, which are associated with cellular metabolite flux, energy demands, and redox status. Proper assembly of the component subunits is essential for the catalysis and regulation of the enzymes. Recently, crystal structures of human IDH3 have been solved in apo form and in complex with various ligands, revealing the molecular mechanisms for the assembly, catalysis, and regulation of the enzyme.

Abstract
Redox signaling and cardiac function are tightly linked. However, it is largely unknown which protein targets are affected by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in cardiomyocytes that underly impaired inotropic effects during oxidative stress. Here, we combine a chemogenetic mouse model (HyPer-DAO mice) and a redox-proteomics approach to identify redox sensitive proteins. Using the HyPer-DAO mice, we demonstrate that increased endogenous production of H2O2 in cardiomyocytes leads to a reversible impairment of cardiac contractility in vivo. Notably, we identify the γ-subunit of the TCA cycle enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)3 as a redox switch, linking its modification to altered mitochondrial metabolism. Using microsecond molecular dynamics simulations and experiments using cysteine-gene-edited cells reveal that IDH3γ Cys148 and 284 are critically involved in the H2O2-dependent regulation of IDH3 activity. Our findings provide an unexpected mechanism by which mitochondrial metabolism can be modulated through redox signaling processes.

Structures of a constitutively active mutant of human IDH3 reveal new insights into the mechanisms of allosteric activation and the catalytic reaction. J Biol Chem 2022; 298:102695. [PMID: 36375638 PMCID: PMC9731866 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2022.102695] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Revised: 10/28/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Human NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase or IDH3 (HsIDH3) catalyzes the decarboxylation of isocitrate into α-ketoglutarate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. It consists of three types of subunits (α, β, and γ) and exists and functions as the (αβαγ)2 heterooctamer. HsIDH3 is regulated allosterically and/or competitively by numerous metabolites including CIT, ADP, ATP, and NADH. Our previous studies have revealed the molecular basis for the activity and regulation of the αβ and αγ heterodimers. However, the molecular mechanism for the allosteric activation of the HsIDH3 holoenzyme remains elusive. In this work, we report the crystal structures of the αβ and αγ heterodimers and the (αβαγ)2 heterooctamer containing an α-Q139A mutation in the clasp domain, which renders all the heterodimers and the heterooctamer constitutively active in the absence of activators. Our structural analysis shows that the α-Q139A mutation alters the hydrogen-bonding network at the heterodimer-heterodimer interface in a manner similar to that in the activator-bound αγ heterodimer. This alteration not only stabilizes the active sites of both αQ139Aβ and αQ139Aγ heterodimers in active conformations but also induces conformational changes of the pseudo-allosteric site of the αQ139Aβ heterodimer enabling it to bind activators. In addition, the αQ139AICT+Ca+NADβNAD structure presents the first pseudo-Michaelis complex of HsIDH3, which allows us to identify the key residues involved in the binding of cofactor, substrate, and metal ion. Our structural and biochemical data together reveal new insights into the molecular mechanisms for allosteric regulation and the catalytic reaction of HsIDH3.

Abstract
AbstractThe immune-inflammatory response is associated with increased nitro-oxidative stress. The aim of this mechanistic review is to examine: (a) the role of redox-sensitive transcription factors and enzymes, ROS/RNS production, and the activity of cellular antioxidants in the activation and performance of macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils, T-cells, B-cells, and natural killer cells; (b) the involvement of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1), paraoxonase-1 (PON1), and oxidized phospholipids in regulating the immune response; and (c) the detrimental effects of hypernitrosylation and chronic nitro-oxidative stress on the immune response. The redox changes during immune-inflammatory responses are orchestrated by the actions of nuclear factor-κB, HIF1α, the mechanistic target of rapamycin, the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signaling pathway, mitogen-activated protein kinases, 5' AMP-activated protein kinase, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor. The performance and survival of individual immune cells is under redox control and depends on intracellular and extracellular levels of ROS/RNS. They are heavily influenced by cellular antioxidants including the glutathione and thioredoxin systems, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2, and the HDL/ApoA1/PON1 complex. Chronic nitro-oxidative stress and hypernitrosylation inhibit the activity of those antioxidant systems, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, mitochondrial functions, and the metabolism of immune cells. In conclusion, redox-associated mechanisms modulate metabolic reprogramming of immune cells, macrophage and T helper cell polarization, phagocytosis, production of pro- versus anti-inflammatory cytokines, immune training and tolerance, chemotaxis, pathogen sensing, antiviral and antibacterial effects, Toll-like receptor activity, and endotoxin tolerance.

Altered Transcriptional Regulation of Glycolysis in Circulating CD8+ T Cells of Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13071216.

Abstract
Peripheral T lymphocytes of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients show pathological changes in their metabolic pathways, especially glycolysis. These changes may drive the increased proliferation and tissue invasiveness of RA T cells. In order to study the transcriptional regulation underlying these alterations, we analysed publicly available RNA sequencing data from circulating T lymphocyte subsets of healthy individuals, untreated RA patients, and patients undergoing treatment for RA. Differential co-expression networks were created using sample-wise edge weights from an analysis called “linear interpolation to obtain network estimates for single sample” (lionessR), and annotated using the Gene Transcription Regulation Database (GTRD). Genes with high centrality scores were identified. CD8+ effector memory cells (Tem) and CD8+CD45RA+ effector memory cells (Temra) showed large changes in the transcriptional regulation of glycolysis in untreated RA. PFKFB3 and GAPDH were differentially regulated and had high centrality scores in CD8+ Tem cells. PFKFB3 downregulation may be due to HIF1A post transcriptional inhibition. Tocilizumab treatment partially reversed the RA-associated differential expression of several metabolic and regulatory genes. MYC was upregulated and had high centrality scores in RA CD8+ Temra cells; however, its glycolysis targets were unaltered. The upregulation of the PI3K-AKT and mTOR pathways may explain MYC upregulation.

Abstract
Based on Schreiber's work on transfer entropy, a molecular theory of nonlinear information transfer in proteins is developed. The joint distribution function for residue fluctuations is expressed in terms of tensor Hermite polynomials which conveniently separate harmonic and nonlinear contributions to information transfer. The harmonic part of information transfer is expressed as the difference between time dependent and independent mutual information. Third order nonlinearities are discussed in detail. Amount and speed of information transfer between residues, important for understanding allosteric activity in proteins, are discussed. While mutual information shows the maximum amount of information that may be transferred between two residues, it does not explain the actual amount of transfer nor the transfer rate of information. For this, dynamic equations of the system are needed. The solution of the Langevin equation and molecular dynamics trajectories are used in the present work for this purpose. Allosteric communication in Human NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase is studied as an example. Calculations show that several paths contribute collectively to information transfer. Important residues on these paths are identified. Time resolved information transfer between these residues, their amplitudes and transfer rates, which are in agreement with time resolved ultraviolet resonance Raman measurements in general, are estimated. Estimated transfer rates are in the order of 1-20 megabits per second. Information transfer from third order contributions are one to two orders of magnitude smaller than the harmonic terms, showing that harmonic analysis is a good approximation to information transfer.

Abstract
Many isocitrate dehydrogenases (IDHs) are dimeric enzymes whose catalytic sites are located at the intersubunit interface, whereas monomeric IDHs form catalytic sites with single polypeptide chains. It was proposed that monomeric IDHs were evolved from dimeric ones by partial gene duplication and fusion, but the evolutionary process had not been reproduced in laboratory. To construct a chimeric monomeric IDH from homo-dimeric one, it is necessary to reconstitute an active center by a duplicated region; to properly link the duplicated region to the rest part; and to optimize the newly formed protein surface. In this study, a chimeric monomeric IDH was successfully constructed by using homo-dimeric Escherichia coli IDH as a start point by rational design and site-saturation mutagenesis. The ~67 kDa chimeric enzyme behaved as a monomer in solution, with a Km of 61 μM and a kcat of 15 s-1 for isocitrate in the presence of NADP+ and Mn2+ . Our result demonstrated that dimeric IDHs have a potential to evolve monomeric ones. The evolution of the IDH family was also discussed.

Crystal structures of NAD +-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase from the green alga Ostreococcus tauri and its evolutionary relationship with eukaryotic NADP +-linked homologs. Arch Biochem Biophys 2021; 708:108898.

Abstract
NAD+-linked isocitrate dehydrogenases (NAD-IDHs) catalyze the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate into α-ketoglutarate. Previously, we identified a novel phylogenetic clade including NAD-IDHs from several algae in the type II subfamily, represented by homodimeric NAD-IDH from Ostreococcus tauri (OtIDH). However, due to its lack of a crystalline structure, the molecular mechanisms of the ligand binding and catalysis of OtIDH are little known. Here, we elucidate four high-resolution crystal structures of OtIDH in a ligand-free and various ligand-bound forms that capture at least three states in the catalytic cycle: open, semi-closed, and fully closed. Our results indicate that OtIDH shows several novel interactions with NAD+, unlike type I NAD-IDHs, as well as a strictly conserved substrate binding mode that is similar to other homologs. The central roles of Lys283' in dual coenzyme recognition and Lys234 in catalysis were also revealed. In addition, the crystal structures obtained here also allow us to understand the catalytic mechanism. As expected, structural comparisons reveal that OtIDH has a very high structural similarity to eukaryotic NADP+-linked IDHs (NADP-IDHs) within the type II subfamily rather than with the previously reported NAD-IDHs within the type I subfamily. It has also been demonstrated that OtIDH exhibits substantial conformation changes upon ligand binding, similar to eukaryotic NADP-IDHs. These results unambiguously support our hypothesis that OtIDH and OtIDH-like homologs are possible evolutionary ancestors of eukaryotic NADP-IDHs in type II subfamily.

Abstract
Mitochondria are dynamic organelles, which serve various purposes, including but not limited to the production of ATP and various metabolites, buffering ions, acting as a signaling hub, etc. In recent years, mitochondria are being seen as the central regulators of cellular growth, development, and death. Since neurons are highly specialized cells with a heavy metabolic demand, it is not surprising that neurons are one of the most mitochondria-rich cells in an animal. At synapses, mitochondrial function and dynamics is tightly regulated by synaptic calcium. Calcium influx during synaptic activity causes increased mitochondrial calcium influx leading to an increased ATP production as well as buffering of synaptic calcium. While increased ATP production is required during synaptic transmission, calcium buffering by mitochondria is crucial to prevent faulty neurotransmission and excitotoxicity. Interestingly, mitochondrial calcium also regulates the mobility of mitochondria within synapses causing mitochondria to halt at the synapse during synaptic transmission. In this review, we summarize the various roles of mitochondrial calcium at the synapse.

In the HsIDH3 structure, the αβ and αγ heterodimers form the α2βγ heterotetramer via their clasp domains, and two α2βγ heterotetramers form the (α2βγ)2 heterooctamer through insertion of the N-terminus of the γ subunit of one heterotetramer into the back cleft of the β subunit of the other heterotetramer. The functional roles of the key residues at the allosteric site, the pseudo allosteric site, the heterodimer and heterodimer-heterodimer interfaces, and the N-terminal of the γ subunit are validated by mutagenesis and kinetic studies. Our structural and biochemical data together demonstrate that the allosteric site plays an important role but the pseudo allosteric site plays no role in the allosteric activation of the enzyme; the activation signal from the allosteric site is transmitted to the active sites of both αβ and αγ heterodimers via the clasp domains; and the N-terminal of the γ subunit plays a critical role in the formation of the heterooctamer to ensure the optimal activity of the enzyme. These findings reveal the molecular mechanism of the assembly and allosteric regulation of HsIDH3.

Abstract
Neocaridina denticulate sinensis is a small freshwater economic shrimp, as well as excellent laboratory model for their short life cycle and easy availability. However, the response of N. denticulate sinensis to pervasive copper pollution in aquatic environments has not been deeply investigated yet. Herein, we preformed Illumina sequencing technology to mine the alterations of cephalothorax transcriptome under 2.5 μmol/L of Cu2+ after 48 h. 122,512 unigenes were assembled and 219 unigenes were identified as significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between control and Cu2+ treatment groups. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that DEGs were mostly associated with immune responses and molting, such as endocytosis, Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis and chitin metabolic process. Seven genes were chosen for qPCR verification, and the results showed that the transcriptome sequencing data were consistent with the qPCR results. This is the first report of transcriptome information about N. denticulate sinensis. These results provided a direction for the future research of resistance to Cu2+ in this shrimp, and simultaneously enriched gene information of N. denticulate sinensis.

Molecular mechanism of the dual regulatory roles of ATP on the αγ heterodimer of human NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase. Sci Rep 2020; 10:6225. [PMID: 32277159 PMCID: PMC7148312 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-63425-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2020] [Accepted: 03/30/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Human NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD-IDH) is responsible for the catalytic conversion of isocitrate into α-ketoglutarate in the Krebs cycle. This enzyme exists as the α2βγ heterotetramer composed of the αβ and αγ heterodimers. Our previous biochemical data showed that the αγ heterodimer and the holoenzyme can be activated by low concentrations of ATP but inhibited by high concentrations of ATP; however, the molecular mechanism was unknown. Here, we report the crystal structures of the αγ heterodimer with ATP binding only to the allosteric site (αMgγMg+CIT+ATP) and to both the allosteric site and the active site (αMg+ATPγMg+CIT+ATP). Structural data show that ATP at low concentrations can mimic ADP to bind to the allosteric site, which stabilizes CIT binding and leads the enzyme to adopt an active conformation, revealing why the enzyme can be activated by low concentrations of ATP. On the other hand, at high concentrations ATP is competitive with NAD for binding to the catalytic site. In addition, our biochemical data show that high concentrations of ATP promote the formation of metal ion-ATP chelates. This reduces the concentration of free metal ion available for the catalytic reaction, and thus further inhibits the enzymatic activity. The combination of these two effects accounts for the inhibition of the enzyme at high concentrations of ATP. Taken together, our structural and biochemical data reveal the molecular mechanism for the dual regulatory roles of ATP on the αγ heterodimer of human NAD-IDH.

Abstract
Mammalian mitochondrial NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD-IDH) catalyzes the decarboxylation of isocitrate into α-ketoglutarate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. It exists as the α2βγ heterotetramer composed of the αβ and αγ heterodimers. Different from the αγ heterodimer that can be allosterically activated by CIT and ADP, the αβ heterodimer cannot be allosterically regulated by the activators; however, the molecular mechanism is unclear. We report here the crystal structures of the αβ heterodimer of human NAD-IDH with the α subunit in apo form and in Ca2+-bound, NAD-bound, and NADH-bound forms. Structural analyses and comparisons reveal that the αβ heterodimer has a similar yet more compact overall structure compared with the αγ heterodimer and contains a pseudo-allosteric site that is structurally different from the allosteric site. In particular, the β3-α3 and β12-α8 loops of the β subunit at the pseudo-allosteric site adopt significantly different conformations from those of the γ subunit at the allosteric site and hence impede the binding of the activators, explaining why the αβ heterodimer cannot be allosterically regulated by the activators. The structural data also show that NADH can compete with NAD to bind to the active site and inhibits the activity of the αβ heterodimer. These findings together with the biochemical data reveal the molecular basis for the function of the αβ heterodimer of human NAD-IDH.

Abstract
Escherichia coli isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) is regulated by reversible phosphorylation on Ser113. Latest phosphoproteomic studies revealed that eukaryotic IDHs can also be phosphorylated on the analogous Ser site. So as to understand the possible phosphorylation mechanism, the equivalent Ser of NADP-IDHs from yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ScIDH) and Yarrowia lipolytica(YlIDH) were investigated by site-directed mutagenesis. ScIDH Ser110 and YlIDH Ser103 were replaced by Asp or Glu to mimic a continuous phosphorylation state. Meanwhile, the effects of another four amino acids (Thr, Tyr, Gly, Ala) with various side chain on IDH activity were determined as well. Enzymatic analysis showed that replacement of Ser with Asp or Glu nearly inactivated ScIDH and YlIDH. Four other mutant enzymes of ScIDH, S110T, S110G, S110A, and S110Y, retained 38.07%, 3.24%, 2.65%, and 0.01% of its original activity, and four other mutant enzymes of YlIDH, S103T, S103G, S103A, and S103Y retained 44.26%, 27.99%, 16.29%, and 0.01% of its original activity, respectively. These results suggested that phosphorylation on eukaryotic IDHs has identical consequence to that on the bacterial IDHs. We thus presume that phosphorylation on the substrate-binding Ser shall be a common regulatory mechanism among IDHs.

Abstract
Monomeric isocitrate dehydrogenases (IDHs) have once been proposed to be exclusively NADP+-specific. Intriguingly, we recently have reported an NAD+-specific monomeric IDH from Campylobacter sp. FOBRC14 (CaIDH). Moreover, bioinformatic analysis revealed at least three different coenzyme-binding motifs among Campylobacter IDHs. Besides the NAD+-binding motif in CaIDH (Leu584/Asp595/Ser644), a typical NADP+-binding motif was also identified in Campylobacter corcagiensis IDH (CcoIDH, His582/Arg593/Arg638). Meanwhile, a third putative NAD+-binding motif was found in Campylobacter concisus IDH (CcIDH, Leu580/Leu591/Ala640). In this study, CcIDH was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. Gel filtration chromatography demonstrated that the recombinant CcIDH exists as a monomer in solution. Kinetic analysis showed that the Km value of CcIDH for NADP+ was over 49-fold higher than that for NAD+ and the catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) of CcIDH is 115-fold greater for NAD+ than NADP+. Thus, CcIDH is indeed an NAD+-specific enzyme. However, the catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km = 0.886 μM-1 s-1) of CcIDH for NAD+ is much lower (<5%) when compared to that of the typical monomeric NADP-IDHs for NADP+. Then, the three core NAD+-binding sites were evaluated by site-directed mutagenesis. The mutant CcIDH (H580R591R640) showed a 51-fold higher Km value for NAD+ and 21-fold lower Km value for NADP+ as compared to that of the wild type enzyme, respectively. The overall specificity of the mutant CcIDH was 12-fold greater for NADP+ than that for NAD+. Thus, the coenzyme specificity of CcIDH was converted from NAD+ to NADP+. Isocitrate dependence of enzyme kinetics showed that although the mutant H580R591R640 preferred NADP+ as its coenzyme, its catalytic efficiency for isocitrate reduced to half of that for the wild-type CcIDH as using NAD+. The finding of both NAD+ and NADP+-binding sites in monomeric IDHs from Campylobacter species will provide us a chance to explore the evolution of the coenzyme specificity in monomeric IDH subfamily.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE NAD+ and NADP+ are important cosubstrates in redox reactions and participate in regulatory networks operating in adjustment of metabolic pathways. Moreover, NAD+ is a cosubstrate in post-translational modification of proteins and is involved in DNA repair. NADPH is indispensable for reductive syntheses and the redox chemistry involved in attaining and maintaining correct protein conformation. Recent Advances: Within a couple of decades, a wealth of information has been gathered on NAD(H)+/NADP(H) redox imaging, regulatory role of redox potential in assembly of spatial protein structures, and the role of ADP-ribosylation of regulatory proteins affecting both gene expression and metabolism. All these have a bearing also on disease, healthy aging, and longevity. CRITICAL ISSUES Knowledge of the signal propagation pathways of NAD+-dependent post-translational modifications is still fragmentary for explaining the mechanism of cellular stress effects and nutritional state on these actions. Evaluation of the cosubstrate and regulator roles of NAD(H) and NADP(H) still suffers from some controversies in experimental data. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Activating or inhibiting interventions in NAD+-dependent protein modifications for medical purposes has shown promise, but restraining tumor growth by inhibiting DNA repair in tumors by means of interference in sirtuins is still in the early stage. The same is true for the use of this technology in improving health and healthy aging. New genetically encoded specific NAD and NADP probes are expected to modernize the research on redox biology.

Abstract
Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) is an enzyme required for the production of α-ketoglutarate from isocitrate. IDH3 generates the NADH used in the mitochondria for ATP production, and is a tetramer made up of two α, one β and one γ subunit. Loss-of-function and missense mutations in both IDH3A and IDH3B have previously been implicated in families exhibiting retinal degeneration. Using mouse models, we investigated the role of IDH3 in retinal disease and mitochondrial function. We identified mice with late-onset retinal degeneration in a screen of ageing mice carrying an ENU-induced mutation, E229K, in Idh3a Mice homozygous for this mutation exhibit signs of retinal stress, indicated by GFAP staining, as early as 3 months, but no other tissues appear to be affected. We produced a knockout of Idh3a and found that homozygous mice do not survive past early embryogenesis. Idh3a-/E229K compound heterozygous mutants exhibit a more severe retinal degeneration compared with Idh3aE229K/E229K homozygous mutants. Analysis of mitochondrial function in mutant cell lines highlighted a reduction in mitochondrial maximal respiration and reserve capacity levels in both Idh3aE229K/E229K and Idh3a-/E229K cells. Loss-of-function Idh3b mutants do not exhibit the same retinal degeneration phenotype, with no signs of retinal stress or reduction in mitochondrial respiration. It has previously been reported that the retina operates with a limited mitochondrial reserve capacity and we suggest that this, in combination with the reduced reserve capacity in mutants, explains the degenerative phenotype observed in Idh3a mutant mice.This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) is a dimeric enzyme responsible for supplying the cell's nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) reserves via dehydrogenation of isocitrate (ICT) and reduction of NADP+. Mutations in position R132 trigger cancer by enabling IDH1 to produce D-2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) and reduce inhibition by ICT. Mutant IDH1 can be found as a homodimer or a heterodimer. OBJECTIVE We propose a novel strategy to inhibit IDH1 R132 variants as a means not to decrease the concentration of 2-HG but to provoke a cytotoxic effect, as the cell malignancy at this point no longer depends on 2-HG. We aim to inhibit the activity of the mutant heterodimer to block the wild-type subunit. Limiting the NADPH reserves in a cancerous cell will enhance its susceptibility to the oxidative stress provoked by chemotherapy. METHODS We performed a virtual screening using all US FDA-approved drugs to replicate the loss of inhibition of mutant IDH1 by ICT. We characterized our results based on molecular interactions and correlated them with the described phenotypes. RESULTS We replicated the loss of inhibition by ICT in mutant IDH1. We identified 20 drugs with the potential to inhibit the heterodimeric isoform. Six of them are used in cancer treatment. CONCLUSIONS We present 20 FDA-approved drugs with the potential to inhibit IDH1 wild-type activity in mutated cells. We believe this work may provide important insights into current and new approaches to dealing with IDH1 mutations. In addition, it may be used as a basis for additional studies centered on drugs presenting differential sensitivities to different IDH1 isoforms.

Insights into the inhibitory mechanisms of NADH on the αγ heterodimer of human NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase. Sci Rep 2018; 8:3146. [PMID: 29453450 PMCID: PMC5816668 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-21584-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2017] [Accepted: 02/07/2018] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Human NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD-IDH) catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate in the citric acid cycle. In the α2βγ heterotetramer of NAD-IDH, the γ subunit plays the regulatory role and the β subunit the structural role. Previous biochemical data have shown that mammalian NAD-IDHs can be inhibited by NADH; however, the molecular mechanism is unclear. In this work, we show that the αβ, αγ and α2βγ enzymes of human NAD-IDH can be inhibited by NADH, and further determine the crystal structure of the αγ heterodimer bound with an Mg2+ and an NADH at the active site and an NADH at the allosteric site, which resembles that of the inactive αMgγ heterodimer. The NADH at the active site occupies the binding site for NAD+ and prevents the binding of the cofactor. The NADH at the allosteric site occupies the binding sites for ADP and citrate and blocks the binding of the activators. The biochemical data confirm that the NADH binding competes with the binding of NAD+ and the binding of citrate and ADP, and the two effects together contribute to the NADH inhibition on the activity. These findings provide insights into the inhibitory mechanisms of the αγ heterodimer by NADH.

The β and γ subunits play distinct functional roles in the α 2βγ heterotetramer of human NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase. Sci Rep 2017; 7:41882. [PMID: 28139779 PMCID: PMC5282582 DOI: 10.1038/srep41882] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2016] [Accepted: 12/28/2016] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Human NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase existing as the α2βγ heterotetramer, catalyzes the decarboxylation of isocitrate into α-ketoglutarate in the Krebs cycle, and is allosterically regulated by citrate, ADP and ATP. To explore the functional roles of the regulatory β and γ subunits, we systematically characterized the enzymatic properties of the holoenzyme and the composing αβ and αγ heterodimers in the absence and presence of regulators. The biochemical and mutagenesis data show that αβ and αγ alone have considerable basal activity but the full activity of α2βγ requires the assembly and cooperative function of both heterodimers. α2βγ and αγ can be activated by citrate or/and ADP, whereas αβ cannot. The binding of citrate or/and ADP decreases the S0.5,isocitrate and thus enhances the catalytic efficiencies of the enzymes, and the two activators can act independently or synergistically. Moreover, ATP can activate α2βγ and αγ at low concentration and inhibit the enzymes at high concentration, but has only inhibitory effect on αβ. Furthermore, the allosteric activation of α2βγ is through the γ subunit not the β subunit. These results demonstrate that the γ subunit plays regulatory role to activate the holoenzyme, and the β subunit the structural role to facilitate the assembly of the holoenzyme.
