Abstract

The mechanism related to mitochondrial dysfunction-induced catecholamine (CA) secretion in dispersed guinea-pig adrenal chromaffin cells was investigated using amperometry and confocal laser microscopy. Application of CCCP, which does not stimulate generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reversibly induced CA secretion, whereas application of either cyanide or oligomycin (OL), a stimulator for ROS, enhanced CA secretion to a smaller extent. The CCCP-induced secretion was abolished by removal of external Ca2+ ions and was markedly diminished by D600. The mitochondrial membrane potential, measured using rhodamine 123, was rapidly lost in response to CCCP, but did not change noticeably during a 3 min exposure to OL. Prior exposure to OL markedly facilitated depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane potential in response to cyanide. The mitochondrial inhibitors rapidly produced an increase in Magnesium Green (MgG) fluorescence in the absence of external Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions, an increase that was larger in the cytoplasm than in the nucleus. The rank order of potency in increasing MgG fluorescence among the inhibitors was similar to that in increasing secretion. Thus, mitochondrial inhibition rapidly decreases [ATP] and the mitochondrial dysfunction-induced secretion is not due to ROS generation or to mitochondrial depolarization, but is possibly mediated by a decrease in ATP.

The human mitochondrial genome contains a second light strand promoter.

The human mitochondrial genome must be replicated and expressed in a timely manner to maintain energy metabolism and supply cells with adequate levels of adenosine triphosphate. Central to this process is the idea that replication primers and gene products both arise via transcription from a single light strand promoter (LSP) such that primer formation can influence gene expression, with no consensus as to how this is regulated. Here, we report the discovery of a second light strand promoter (LSP2) in humans, with features characteristic of a bona fide mitochondrial promoter. We propose that the position of LSP2 on the mitochondrial genome allows replication and gene expression to be orchestrated from two distinct sites, which expands our long-held understanding of mitochondrial gene expression in humans.

GCN2 kinase activation by ATP-competitive kinase inhibitors.

Small-molecule kinase inhibitors represent a major group of cancer therapeutics, but tumor responses are often incomplete. To identify pathways that modulate kinase inhibitor response, we conducted a genome-wide knockout (KO) screen in glioblastoma cells treated with the pan-ErbB inhibitor neratinib. Loss of general control nonderepressible 2 (GCN2) kinase rendered cells resistant to neratinib, whereas depletion of the GADD34 phosphatase increased neratinib sensitivity. Loss of GCN2 conferred neratinib resistance by preventing binding and activation of GCN2 by neratinib. Several other Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved inhibitors, such erlotinib and sunitinib, also bound and activated GCN2. Our results highlight the utility of genome-wide functional screens to uncover novel mechanisms of drug action and document the role of the integrated stress response (ISR) in modulating the response to inhibitors of oncogenic kinases.

Identification of C-terminal motifs responsible for transmission of inhibition by ATP of mammalian phosphofructokinase, and their contribution to other allosteric effects.

Systematic deletions and point mutations in the C-terminal extension of mammalian PFK (phosphofructokinase) led us to identify Leu-767 and Glu-768 of the M-type isoform (PFK-M) as the motifs responsible for the role of this region in inhibition by MgATP. These amino acids are the only residues of the C-terminus that are conserved in all mammalian isoforms, and were found to have a similar function in the C-type isoenzyme. Both residues in PFK-C and Leu-767 in PFK-M were also observed to be critical for inhibition by citrate, which is synergistic with that by MgATP. Binding studies utilizing titration of intrinsic protein fluorescence indicated that the C-terminal part of the enzyme participates in the signal transduction route from the MgATP inhibitory site to the catalytic site, but does not contribute to the binding of this inhibitor, whereas it is essential for the binding of citrate. Mutations of the identified structural motifs did not alter either the action of other allosteric effectors that also interact with MgATP, such as the inhibitor phosphoenolpyruvate and the strong activator fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, or the co-operative effect of fructose 6-phosphate. The latter data provide evidence that activation by fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and fructose 6-phosphate co-operativity are not linked to the same allosteric transition as that mediating inhibition by MgATP.
