Abstract

The fructose analogue 2,5-anhydro-D-mannitol (2,5-AM) triggers feeding in rats apparently by its action in the liver. In vivo phosphorylation of this analogue decreases hepatic inorganic phosphate and ATP by trapping of phosphate in the mono- and diphosphorylated forms of 2,5-AM. To determine whether hepatic phosphate depletion and decreased ATP are involved in the eating response to 2,5-AM, rats were treated with excess sodium phosphate before injection of 2,5-AM. Phosphate loading prevented both the increase in food intake and the decrease in liver ATP, without affecting the changes seen in plasma fuels produced by 2,5-AM treatment. Phosphate loading did not influence water intake or eating elicited by insulin or 2-deoxy-D-glucose, indicating that the effect on 2,5-AM-induced eating was behaviorally specific and not due to malaise. These data suggest that 2,5-AM elicits eating by trapping phosphate and reducing ATP in liver.

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.

ATP P2X receptors mediate fast synaptic transmission in the dorsal horn of the rat spinal cord.

ATP has been proposed to mediate synaptic transmission in the spinal cord dorsal horn, particularly in the pathway carrying nociceptive information. Using transverse spinal cord slices from postnatal rats, we show that EPSCs mediated by P2X receptors, and presumably activated by synaptically released ATP, are evoked in a subpopulation of spinal cord lamina II neurons, a region known to receive strong input from nociceptive primary afferents. The P2X receptors on acutely dissociated dorsal horn neurons are nondesensitizing, insensitive to alphabeta methylene ATP, and show strong but variable sensitivity to the antagonists suramin and pyridoxal-phosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonic acid (PPADS). These characteristics are consistent with a heterogeneous population of P2X receptors, the composition of which includes P2X2, P2X4, and P2X6 receptor subtypes. Our results suggest that ATP-activated P2X receptors in lamina II of the rat spinal cord may play a role in transmitting or modulating nociceptive information.
