ABSTRACT
NSD3s, the proline-tryptophan-tryptophan-proline (PWWP) domain-containing, short isoform of the human oncoprotein NSD3, displays high transforming properties. Overexpression of human NSD3s or the yeast protein Pdp3 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae induces similar metabolic changes, including increased growth rate and sensitivity to oxidative stress, accompanied by decreased oxygen consumption. Here, we set out to elucidate the biochemical pathways leading to the observed metabolic phenotype by analyzing the alterations in yeast metabolome in response to NSD3s or Pdp3 overexpression using 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) metabolomics. We observed an increase in aspartate and alanine, together with a decrease in arginine levels, on overexpression of NSD3s or Pdp3, suggesting an increase in the rate of glutaminolysis. In addition, certain metabolites, including glutamate, valine, and phosphocholine were either NSD3s or Pdp3 specific, indicating that additional metabolic pathways are adapted in a protein-dependent manner. The observation that certain metabolic pathways are differentially regulated by NSD3s and Pdp3 suggests that, despite the structural similarity between their PWWP domains, the two proteins act by unique mechanisms and may recruit different downstream signaling complexes. This study establishes for the first time a functional link between the human oncoprotein NSD3s and cancer metabolic reprogramming.
