The activity and levels of the metazoan HIF (hypoxia-inducible factor) are regulated by its hydroxylation, catalysed by 2OG (2-oxoglutarate)- and Fe(II)-dependent dioxygenases. An oxygen consumption assay was developed and used to study the relationship between HIF hydroxylase activity and oxygen concentration for recombinant forms of two human HIF hydroxylases, PHD2 (prolyl hydroxylase domain-containing protein 2) and FIH (factor inhibiting HIF), and compared with two other 2OG-dependent dioxygenases. Although there are caveats on the absolute values, the apparent K(m) (oxygen) values for PHD2 and FIH were within the range observed for other 2OG oxygenases. Recombinant protein substrates were found to have lower apparent K(m) (oxygen) values compared with shorter synthetic peptides of HIF. The analyses also suggest that human PHD2 is selective for fragments of the C-terminal over the N-terminal oxygen-dependent degradation domain of HIF-1alpha. The present results, albeit obtained under non-physiological conditions, imply that the apparent K(m) (oxygen) values of the HIF hydroxylases enable them to act as oxygen sensors providing their in vivo capacity is appropriately matched to a hydroxylation-sensitive signalling pathway. 相似文献

Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and fumarate hydratase (FH) are components of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and tumor suppressors. Loss of SDH or FH induces pseudohypoxia, a major tumor-supporting event, which is the activation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) under normoxia. In SDH- or FH-deficient cells, HIF activation is due to HIF1alpha stabilization by succinate or fumarate, respectively, either of which, when in excess, inhibits HIFalpha prolyl hydroxylase (PHD). To reactivate PHD, we focused on its substrate, alpha-ketoglutarate. We designed and synthesized cell-permeating alpha-ketoglutarate derivatives, which build up rapidly and preferentially in cells with a dysfunctional TCA cycle. This study shows that succinate- or fumarate-mediated inhibition of PHD is competitive and is reversed by pharmacologically elevating intracellular alpha-ketoglutarate. Introduction of alpha-ketoglutarate derivatives restores normal PHD activity and HIF1alpha levels to SDH-suppressed cells, indicating new therapy possibilities for the cancers associated with TCA cycle dysfunction. 相似文献

Oxygen dependent degradation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α is triggered with hydroxylation by proline hydroxylase domain 2 (PHD2) under normoxic conditions. Some of previously developed PHD2 inhibitors show a considerable potency against factor inhibiting HIF (FIH), the HIF asparagine hydroxylase. For specific inhibition of PHD2, we have synthesized peptides containing 556-575 residues of HIF-1α with modifications at the Pro-564 and examined their inhibitory effect against PHD2. Adopting fluorescence polarization-based assays, we evaluated inhibitory potency of the peptides and selected potent inhibitors. These PHD2 inhibitor peptides showed no significant potency against FIH, demonstrating their specific inhibitory effect on PHD2. 相似文献

AlkB is one of four proteins involved in the adaptive response to DNA alkylation damage in Escherichia coli and is highly conserved from bacteria to humans. Recent analyses have verified the prediction that AlkB is a member of the Fe(II) and 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)-dependent oxygenase family of enzymes. AlkB mediates repair of methylated DNA by direct demethylation of 1-methyladenine and 3-methylcytosine lesions. Other members of the Fe(II) and 2OG-dependent oxygenase family, including those involved in the hypoxic response, are targets for therapeutic intervention. Assays measuring 2OG turnover were used to investigate the selectivity of AlkB. 1-Methyladenosine, 1-methyl-2'-deoxyadenosine, 3-methylcytidine, and 3-methyl-2'-deoxycytidine all stimulated 2OG turnover by AlkB but were not demethylated indicating an uncoupling of 2OG and prime substrate oxidation and that oligomeric DNA is required for hydroxylation and subsequent demethylation. In contrast the equivalent unmethylated nucleosides did not stimulate 2OG turnover indicating that the presence of a methyl group in the substrate is important in initiating oxidation of 2OG. Stimulation of 2OG turnover by 1-methyladenosine was highly dependent on the presence of a reducing agent, ascorbate or dithiothreitol. Following the observation that AlkB is inhibited by high concentrations of 2OG, analogues of 2OG, including 2-mercaptoglutarate, were found to specifically inhibit AlkB. The flavonoid quercetin inhibits both AlkB and the 2OG oxygenase factor-inhibiting hypoxia-inducible factor (FIH) in vitro. FIH inhibition by quercetin occurs in the presence of excess iron indicating a specific interaction, while the inhibition of AlkB by quercetin is, predominantly, due to nonspecific iron chelation. 相似文献

A 2-His-1-carboxylate triad of iron binding residues is present in many non-heme iron oxygenases including the Fe(II) and 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)-dependent dioxygenases. Three variants (D201A, D201E, and D201G) of the iron binding Asp-201 residue of an asparaginyl hydroxylase, factor inhibiting HIF (FIH), were made and analyzed. FIH-D201A and FIH-D201E did not catalyze asparaginyl hydroxylation, but in the presence of a reducing agent, they displayed enhanced 2OG turnover when compared with wild-type FIH. Turnover of 2OG by FIH-D201A was significantly stimulated by the addition of HIF-1alpha(786-826) peptide. Like FIH-D201A and D201E, the D201G variant enhanced 2OG turnover but rather unexpectedly catalyzed asparaginyl hydroxylation. Crystal structures of the FIH-D201A and D201G variants in complex with Fe(II)/Zn(II), 2OG, and HIF-1alpha(786-826/788-806) implied that only two FIH-based residues (His-199 and His-279) are required for metal binding. The results indicate that variation of 2OG-dependent dioxygenase iron-ligating residues as a means of functional assignment should be treated with caution. The results are of mechanistic interest in the light of recent biochemical and structural analyses of non-heme iron and 2OG-dependent halogenases that are similar to the FIH-D201A/G variants in that they use only two His-residues to ligate iron. 相似文献

The concept of micelle-supported electroenzymology is demonstrated using a system consisting of the membrane enzyme Escherichia coli fumarate reductase (FRD), the amphiphilic coenzyme analogue decylubiquinone (DU), the micelle-forming surfactant n-octyl glucoside (OG), and a gold electrode. The OG micelles provide a hydrophobic, membrane mimetic medium for FRD and DU to exchange electrons while the gold electrode serves to regenerate DU. When succinate is presented to the FRD/DU/OG micelle system, electroenzymatic oxidation of succinate to fumarate occurs as evidenced using cyclic voltammetry. DU is shown to be the only electroactive species in the system; and as increasing amounts of succinate are added, the expected increase in the peak anodic (oxidative) current and decrease in the peak cathodic (reductive) current are observed. The peak anodic current approaches a limiting value with succinate concentration in qualitative agreement with simple Michaelis-Menten enzyme kinetics. When the strong competitive inhibitor oxaloacetate is added, enzymatic oxidation of succinate is inhibited as indicated by no change in the peak anodic and cathodic currents with increasing succinate concentration.

Background
The pathogenesis of preeclampsia, a serious pregnancy disorder, is still elusive and its treatment empirical. Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1 (HIF-1) is crucial for placental development and early detection of aberrant regulatory mechanisms of HIF-1 could impact on the diagnosis and management of preeclampsia. HIF-1α stability is controlled by O2-sensing enzymes including prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs), Factor Inhibiting HIF (FIH), and E3 ligases Seven In Absentia Homologues (SIAHs). Here we investigated early- (E-PE) and late-onset (L-PE) human preeclamptic placentae and their ability to sense changes in oxygen tension occurring during normal placental development.Methods and Findings
Expression of PHD2, FIH and SIAHs were significantly down-regulated in E-PE compared to control and L-PE placentae, while HIF-1α levels were increased. PHD3 expression was increased due to decreased FIH levels as demonstrated by siRNA FIH knockdown experiments in trophoblastic JEG-3 cells. E-PE tissues had markedly diminished HIF-1α hydroxylation at proline residues 402 and 564 as assessed with monoclonal antibodies raised against hydroxylated HIF-1α P402 or P564, suggesting regulation by PHD2 and not PHD3. Culturing villous explants under varying oxygen tensions revealed that E-PE, but not L-PE, placentae were unable to regulate HIF-1α levels because PHD2, FIH and SIAHs did not sense a hypoxic environment.Conclusion
Disruption of oxygen sensing in E-PE vs. L-PE and control placentae is the first molecular evidence of the existence of two distinct preeclamptic diseases and the unique molecular O2-sensing signature of E-PE placentae may be of diagnostic value when assessing high risk pregnancies and their severity. 相似文献13.
Quintuple mutants of Escherichia coli deficient in the C(4)-dicarboxylate carriers of aerobic and anaerobic metabolism (DctA, DcuA, DcuB, DcuC, and the DcuC homolog DcuD, or the citrate/succinate antiporter CitT) showed only poor growth on succinate (or other C(4)-dicarboxylates) under oxic conditions. At acidic pH (pH 6) the mutants regained aerobic growth on succinate, but not on fumarate. Succinate uptake by the mutants could not be saturated at physiological succinate concentrations (< or =5 mM), in contrast to the wild-type, which had a K(m) for succinate of 50 microM and a V(max) of 35 U/g dry weight at pH 6. At high substrate concentrations, the mutants showed transport activities (32 U/g dry weight) comparable to that of the wild-type. In the wild-type using DctA as the carrier, succinate uptake had a pH optimum of 6, whereas succinate uptake in the mutants was maximal at pH 5. In the mutants succinate uptake was inhibited competitively by monocarboxylic acids. Diffusion of succinate or fumarate across phospholipid membranes (liposomes) was orders of magnitude slower than the transport in the wild-type or the mutants. The data suggest that mutants deficient in DctA, DcuA, DcuB, DcuC, DcuD (or CitT) contain a carrier, possibly a monocarboxylate carrier, which is able to transport succinate, but not fumarate, at acidic pH, when succinate is present as a monoanion. Succinate uptake by this carrier was inhibited by addition of an uncoupler. Growth by fumarate respiration (requiring fumarate/succinate antiport) was also lost in the quintuple mutants, and growth was not restored at pH 6. In contrast, the efflux of succinate produced during glucose fermentation was not affected in the mutants, demonstrating that, for succinate efflux, a carrier different from, or in addition to, the known Dcu and CitT carriers is used. 相似文献

Fumarate reductase from Escherichia coli functions both as an anaerobic fumarate reductase and as an aerobic succinate dehydrogenase. A site-directed mutation of E. coli fumarate reductase in which FrdB Pro-159 was replaced with a glutamine or histidine residue was constructed and overexpressed in a strain of E. coli lacking a functional copy of the fumarate reductase or succinate dehydrogenase complex. The consequences of these mutations on bacterial growth, assembly of the enzyme complex, and enzymatic activity were investigated. Both mutations were found to have no effect on anaerobic bacterial growth or on the ability of the enzyme to reduce fumarate compared with the wild-type enzyme. The FrdB Pro-159-to-histidine substitution was normal in its ability to oxidize succinate. In contrast, however, the FrdB Pro-159-to-Gln substitution was found to inhibit aerobic growth of E. coli under conditions requiring a functional succinate dehydrogenase, and furthermore, the aerobic activity of the enzyme was severely inhibited upon incubation in the presence of its substrate, succinate. This inactivation could be prevented by incubating the mutant enzyme complex in an anaerobic environment, separating the catalytic subunits of the fumarate reductase complex from their membrane anchors, or blocking the transfer of electrons from the enzyme to quinones. The results of these studies suggest that the succinate-induced inactivation occurs by the production of hydroxyl radicals generated by a Fenton-type reaction following introduction of this mutation into the [3Fe-4S] binding domain. Additional evidence shows that the substrate-induced inactivation requires quinones, which are the membrane-bound electron acceptors and donors for the succinate dehydrogenase and fumarate reductase activities. These data suggest that the [3Fe-4S] cluster is intimately associated with one of the quinone binding sites found n fumarate reductase and succinate dehydrogenase. 相似文献

The 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)- and Fe(2+)-dependent dioxygenase AlkB couples the demethylation of modified DNA to the decarboxylation of 2OG. Extensive crystallographic analyses have shown no evidence of significant structural differences between complexes binding either 2OG or succinate. By using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, we have shown that the AlkB-succinate and AlkB-2OG complexes have significantly different dynamic properties in solution. 2OG makes the necessary contacts between the metal site and the large beta-sheet to maintain a fully folded conformation. Oxidative decarboxylation of 2OG to succinate leads to weakening of a main contact with the large beta-sheet, resulting in an enhanced dynamic state. These conformational fluctuations allow for the replacement of succinate in the central core of the protein and probably contribute to the effective release of unmethylated DNA. We also propose that the inherent dynamics of the co-product complex and the subsequent increased molecular ordering of the co-substrate complex have a role in DNA damage recognition. 相似文献

The rates of the oxidized (Eox) and reduced (Ered) (by NAD . H through the ubiquinone pool) succinate dehydrogenase inhibition by N-ethyl-maleimide are equal and obey pseudo-first order kinetics. The protection of the enzyme against irreversible alkylation was used to quantitate the dissociation constants for Eox and Ered complexes with fumarate, succinate and malonate under conditions when no intramolecular redox reactions might occur. the membrane-bound succinate dehydrogenase catalyzes the succinate : phenazine-methosulphate reductase reaction in the presence of thenoyltrifluoroacetone by a Slater-Bonner mechanism. A comparison of the constants measured by the protection with those derived from the steady-state kinetics shows that succinate affinity for Eox is about 10 times higher than that for Ered; the reverse relations were found for fumarate, whereas the affinity for malonate only slightly depends on the redox state of the enzyme. The data obtained suggest that the dicarboxylate binding at the active site induces changes in the enzyme redox potential. The surface charge does not contribute significantly to the energy of the dicarboxylate binding to the active site of the membrane-bound enzyme. 相似文献

Inducible binding proteins for C4-dicarboxylic acids (DBP) and glucose (GBP) were isolated from Pseudomonas aeruginosa by extraction of exponential-phase cells with 0.2 M MgC12 (pH 8.5) and by an osmotic shock procedure without affecting cell viability. DBP synthesis was induced by growth on aspartate, alpha-ketoglutarate, succinate, fumarate, malate, and malonate but not by growth on acetate, citrate, pyruvate, or glucose. Binding of succinate by DBP was competitively inhibited by 10-fold concentrations of fumarate and malate but not by a variety of related substances. GBP synthesis and transport of methyl alpha-glucoside by whole cells were induced by growth on glucose or pyruvate plus galactose, 2-deoxyglucose, or methyl alpha-glucoside but not by growth on gluconate, succinate, acetate, or pyruvate. The binding of radioactive glucose by GBP was significantly inhibited by 10-fold concentrations of glucose, galactose, and glucose-1-phosphate but not by the other carbohydrates tested. The binding of glucose by GBP or succinate by DBP did not result in any chemical alteration of the substrates. 相似文献
