RÉSUMÉ
Isocitrate dehydrogenase is an enzyme converting isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate in the canonical tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. There are three different types of isocitrate dehydrogenase documented in eukaryotes. Our study points out the complex evolutionary history of isocitrate dehydrogenases across kinetoplastids, where the common ancestor of Trypanosomatidae and Bodonidae was equipped with two isoforms of the isocitrate dehydrogenase enzyme: the NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 with possibly dual localization in the cytosol and mitochondrion and NADP+-dependent mitochondrial isocitrate dehydrogenase 2. In the extant trypanosomatids, isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 is present only in a few species suggesting that it was lost upon separation of Trypanosoma spp. and replaced by the mainly NADP+-dependent cytosolic isocitrate dehydrogenase 3 of bacterial origin in all the derived lineages. In this study, we experimentally demonstrate that the omnipresent isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 has a dual localization in both mitochondrion and cytosol in at least four species that possess only this isoform. The apparent lack of the NAD+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase activity in trypanosomatid mitochondrion provides further support to the existence of the noncanonical TCA cycle across trypanosomatids and the bidirectional activity of isocitrate dehydrogenase 3 when operating with NADP+ cofactor instead of NAD+. This observation can be extended to all 17 species analyzed in this study, except for Leishmania mexicana, which showed only low isocitrate dehydrogenase activity in the cytosol. The variability in isocitrate oxidation capacity among species may reflect the distinct metabolic strategies and needs for reduced cofactors in particular environments.

At the individual cow level, suboptimum fertility, mastitis, negative energy balance, and ketosis are major issues in dairy farming. These problems are widespread on dairy farms and have an important economic impact. The objectives of this study were (1) to assess the potential of milk mid-infrared (MIR) spectra to predict key biomarkers of energy deficit (citrate, isocitrate, glucose-6 phosphate [glucose-6P], free glucose), ketosis (ß-hydroxybutyrate [BHB] and acetone), mastitis (N-acetyl-ß-d-glucosaminidase activity [NAGase] and lactate dehydrogenase), and fertility (progesterone); (2) to test alternative methodologies to partial least squares (PLS) regression to better account for the specific asymmetric distribution of the biomarkers; and (3) to create robust models by merging large datasets from 5 international or national projects. Benefiting from this international collaboration, the dataset comprised a total of 9,143 milk samples from 3,758 cows located in 589 herds across 10 countries and represented 7 breeds. The samples were analyzed by reference chemistry for biomarker contents, whereas the MIR analyses were performed on 30 instruments from different models and brands, with spectra harmonized into a common format. Four quantitative methodologies were evaluated to address the strongly skewed distribution of some biomarkers. Partial least squares regression was used as the reference basis, and compared with a random modification of distribution associated with PLS (random-downsampling-PLS), an optimized modification of distribution associated with PLS (KennardStone-downsampling-PLS), and support vector machine (SVM). When the ability of MIR to predict biomarkers was too low for quantification, different qualitative methodologies were tested to discriminate low versus high values of biomarkers. For each biomarker, 20% of the herds were randomly removed within all countries to be used as the validation dataset. The remaining 80% of herds were used as the calibration dataset. In calibration, the 3 alternative methodologies outperform the PLS performances for the majority of biomarkers. However, in the external herd validation, PLS provided the best results for isocitrate, glucose-6P, free glucose, and lactate dehydrogenase (coefficient of determination in external herd validation [R2v] = 0.48, 0.58, 0.28, and 0.24, respectively). For other molecules, PLS-random-downsampling and PLS-KennardStone-downsampling outperformed PLS in the majority of cases, but the best results were provided by SVM for citrate, BHB, acetone, NAGase, and progesterone (R2v = 0.94, 0.58, 0.76, 0.68, and 0.15, respectively). Hence, PLS and SVM based on the entire dataset provided the best results for normal and skewed distributions, respectively. Complementary to the quantitative methods, the qualitative discriminant models enabled the discrimination of high and low values for BHB, acetone, and NAGase with a global accuracy around 90%, and glucose-6P with an accuracy of 83%. In conclusion, MIR spectra of milk can enable quantitative screening of citrate as a biomarker of energy deficit and discrimination of low and high values of BHB, acetone, and NAGase, as biomarkers of ketosis and mastitis. Finally, progesterone could not be predicted with sufficient accuracy from milk MIR spectra to be further considered. Consequently, MIR spectrometry can bring valuable information regarding the occurrence of energy deficit, ketosis, and mastitis in dairy cows, which in turn have major influences on their fertility and survival.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, as an experimental model for Gram-negative bacteria, harbors two NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases (NADP-IDHs) that were evolved from its ancient counterpart NAD-IDHs. For a better understanding of PaIDH1 and PaIDH2, we cloned the genes, overexpressed them in Escherichia coli and purified them to homogeneity. PaIDH1 displayed higher affinity to NADP+ and isocitrate, with lower Km values when compared to PaIDH2. Moreover, PaIDH1 possessed higher temperature tolerance (50 °C) and wider pH range tolerance (7.2-8.5) and could be phosphorylated. After treatment with the bifunctional PaIDH kinase/phosphatase (PaIDH K/P), PaIDH1 lost 80% of its enzymatic activity in one hour due to the phosphorylation of Ser115. Small-molecule compounds like glyoxylic acid and oxaloacetate can effectively inhibit the activity of PaIDHs. The mutant PaIDH1-D346I347A353K393 exhibited enhanced affinity for NAD+ while it lost activity towards NADP+, and the Km value (7770.67 µM) of the mutant PaIDH2-L589 I600 for NADP+ was higher than that observed for NAD+ (5824.33 µM), indicating a shift in coenzyme specificity from NADP+ to NAD+ for both PaIDHs. The experiments demonstrated that the mutation did not alter the oligomeric state of either protein. This study provides a foundation for the elucidation of the evolution and function of two NADP-IDHs in the pathogenic bacterium P. aeruginosa.

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, ß, and γ), and exist as (α2ßγ)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.

Significance: Glioblastoma is an aggressive and devastating brain tumor characterized by a dismal prognosis and resistance to therapeutic intervention. To support catabolic processes critical for unabated cellular growth and defend against harmful reactive oxygen species, glioblastoma tumors upregulate the expression of wild-type isocitrate dehydrogenases (IDHs). IDH enzymes catalyze the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate (α-KG), NAD(P)H, and CO2. On molecular levels, IDHs epigenetically control gene expression through effects on α-KG-dependent dioxygenases, maintain redox balance, and promote anaplerosis by providing cells with NADPH and precursor substrates for macromolecular synthesis. Recent Advances: While gain-of-function mutations in IDH1 and IDH2 represent one of the most comprehensively studied mechanisms of IDH pathogenic effects, recent studies identified wild-type IDHs as critical regulators of normal organ physiology and, when transcriptionally induced or down regulated, as contributing to glioblastoma progression. Critical Issues: Here, we will discuss molecular mechanisms of how wild-type IDHs control glioma pathogenesis, including the regulation of oxidative stress and de novo lipid biosynthesis, and provide an overview of current and future research directives that aim to fully characterize wild-type IDH-driven metabolic reprogramming and its contribution to the pathogenesis of glioblastoma. Future Directions: Future studies are required to further dissect mechanisms of metabolic and epigenomic reprogramming in tumors and the tumor microenvironment, and to develop pharmacological approaches to inhibit wild-type IDH function.

Glioma is one of the most common types of brain tumors, and its high recurrence and mortality rates threaten human health. In 2008, the frequent isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutations in glioma were reported, which brought a new strategy in the treatment of this challenging disease. In this perspective, we first discuss the possible gliomagenesis after IDH1 mutations (mIDH1). Subsequently, we systematically investigate the reported mIDH1 inhibitors and present a comparative analysis of the ligand-binding pocket in mIDH1. Additionally, we also discuss the binding features and physicochemical properties of different mIDH1 inhibitors to facilitate the future development of mIDH1 inhibitors. Finally, we discuss the possible selectivity features of mIDH1 inhibitors against WT-IDH1 and IDH2 by combining protein-based and ligand-based information. We hope that this perspective can inspire the development of mIDH1 inhibitors and bring potent mIDH1 inhibitors for the treatment of glioma.

Abnormalities in the Tri-Carboxylic-Acid (TCA) cycle have been documented in dementia. Through network analysis, TCA cycle metabolites could indirectly reflect known dementia-related abnormalities in biochemical pathways, and key metabolites might be associated with prognosis. This study analyzed TCA cycle metabolites as predictors of cognitive decline in a mild dementia cohort and explored potential interactions with the diagnosis of Lewy Body Dementia (LBD) or Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and APOE-ε4 genotype. We included 145 mild dementia patients (LBD = 59; AD = 86). Serum TCA cycle metabolites were analyzed at baseline, and partial correlation networks were conducted. Cognitive performance was measured annually over 5-years with the Mini-mental State Examination. Longitudinal mixed-effects Tobit models evaluated each baseline metabolite as a predictor of 5-years cognitive decline. APOE-ε4 and diagnosis interactions were explored. Results showed comparable metabolite concentrations in LBD and AD. Multiple testing corrected networks showed larger coefficients for a negative correlation between pyruvate - succinate and positive correlations between fumarate - malate and citrate - Isocitrate in both LBD and AD. In the total sample, adjusted mixed models showed significant associations between baseline citrate concentration and longitudinal MMSE scores. In APOE-ε4 carriers, baseline isocitrate predicted MMSE scores. We conclude that, in mild dementia, serum citrate concentrations could be associated with subsequent cognitive decline, as well as isocitrate concentrations in APOE-ε4 carriers. Downregulation of enzymatic activity in the first half of the TCA cycle (decarboxylating dehydrogenases), with upregulation in the latter half (dehydrogenases only), might be indirectly reflected in serum TCA cycle metabolites' networks.

Raw materials or bioactive ingredients trigger mechanisms to assimilate nutrients and activate metabolic pathways that promote growth, immune function, or energy storage. Our understanding of these processes at a molecular level remains limited in aquaculture, especially in shrimp. Here, hepatopancreas proteomics and haemolymph metabolomics were used to investigate the post-prandial response of black tiger shrimps (Penaeus monodon) fed a conventional fishmeal diet (FM); a diet supplemented with the microbial biomass Novacq™ (NV); krill meal (KM); or, fasted (FS). Using FM as a control, a 2-fold change in abundance threshold was implemented to determine the significance of proteins and metabolites. NV fed shrimp showed preference for energy derived from carbohydrates indicated by a strong signature of glycoconjugate metabolism and activation of the amino- and nucleotide sugar metabolic pathway. KM activated the glyoxylate and dicarboxylate pathway that denoted shrimp preference for lipidic energy. KM also influenced energy generation by the TCA cycle inferred from higher abundance of the metabolites succinic semialdehyde, citric acid, isocitrate, alpha ketoglutarate and ATP and downregulation of the enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase that catalyses oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate. FS shrimp displayed down-regulation of oxidative phosphorylation and resorted to internal lipid reserves for energy homeostasis displaying a strong signature of autophagy. Pyrimidine metabolism was the preferred energy strategy in this group. Our study also provided evidence that during fasting or consumption of specific ingredients, shrimp share common pathways to meet their energy requirements, however, the intensity at which these pathways were impacted was diet dependent.

OBJECTIVES: Preeclampsia, a high cause of fetomaternal morbidity-mortality, remains a significant burden affecting 8% of all pregnancies. Environmental conditions induce disease development leading to endothelial dysfunction in genetically predisposed women. Our aim is to discuss oxidative stress as a well-established contributing factor to disease progression with being the first study to show new evidence about serum dehydrogenase enzyme levels (isocitrate, malate, glutamate dehydrogenase) with oxidative markers (myeloperoxidase, total antioxidant-oxidant status, oxidative stress index). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Serum parameters were analyzed with photometric method (Abbott ARCHITECT c8000). RESULTS: The enzyme levels and oxidative markers were significantly higher in patients, supporting the redox imbalance in preeclampsia. According to ROC analysis, malate dehydrogenase showed an outstanding diagnostic ability with the highest AUC value of 0.9 and the cut-off value of 51.2 IU/L. Discriminant analysis including malate, isocitrate and glutamate dehydrogenase had predicted preeclampsia with an overall 87.9% accuracy. CONCLUSIONS: Considering the above results, we propose that the enzyme levels increase with oxidative stress functioning as antioxidant defense factors. The unique finding of the study is that the serum levels of malate, isocitrate and glutamate dehydrogenase can be used both separately and combined in the early prediction of preeclampsia. As a novel approach, we also offer combining serum isocitrate and glutamate dehydrogenase levels with ALT, AST tests to state liver functions more reliably in patients. Still, larger sample-sized studies investigating enzyme expression levels are required to confirm the recent findings and to reveal underlying mechanisms.

The wood frog, Rana sylvatica, employs freeze tolerance as a winter survival strategy in seasonally cold environments. At subzero temperatures, up to 65-70% of total body water can freeze in extracellular spaces, halting vital functions (breathing, heartbeat) and causing ischemia that, in turn, can have numerous consequences including the generation of damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS). NADPH serves as a key donor of reductive power for most ROS detoxifying enzymes and can be generated by several metabolic pathways. One source of NADPH reducing power is the NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) reaction. The present study evaluated the properties and regulation of IDH from skeletal muscle of R. sylvatica when frogs were exposed to stress conditions: freezing, dehydration or anoxia. Purified IDH exhibited higher affinity for isocitrate under all stress conditions as compared to controls, suggesting that the enzyme is primed to synthesize NADPH relative to the control state. Immunoblotting showed reduced serine and threonine phosphorylation of muscle IDH from frozen frogs and decreased serine phosphorylation on IDH from dehydrated frogs relative to control and anoxic states, demonstrating a reversible phosphorylation regulatory mechanism for IDH activity during freezing stress. Taken together, these results suggest activation and maintenance of IDH activity despite hypometabolic conditions. This initiation in activity of IDH during freezing may play a role in antioxidant defense by contributing to maintenance of the NADPH pool under stress conditions.

Direct-infusion tandem mass spectrometry (DI-MS/MS) is an excellent tool for large cohort high-throughput quantitative metabolomics, MS imaging and single cell studies but incapable of discriminating isomers/isobars with similar MS spectral features. With experimental and density-functional theory (DFT) approaches, here, we comprehensively investigated the fragmentation pathways and characteristics of differential ion-mobility spectrometry (DMS) for three citrate isomers (citrate, isocitrate, glucaro-1,4-lactone) and an isobar (quinate) co-existing in biological sample such as urine. Results showed that all these compounds gave better MS spectra in negative-ion mode than positive-ion one and had numerous fragment ions under collision-induced dissociation (CID) with sequential losses of H2O and CO2. All observed fragment ions were assignable by combining experimental with DFT calculation results. A DI-DMS-MS/MS method was then developed to simultaneously quantify these four isomers/isobars with m/z 191-87 (CoV, -5.5 V), 191-73 (CoV, -3.5 V), 191-85 (CoV, -29.5 V) and m/z 191-93 (CoV, -41.5 V) for citrate, isocitrate, glucaro-1,4-lactone and quinate, respectively. The low limit-of-quantification was below 5.5 nM whilst accuracy was above 94% for all above compounds. The urinary concentrations of them in human and C57BL/6 mouse samples were further quantified showing clear inter-individual and inter-species level differences with significantly higher levels of isocitrate, glucaro-1,4-lactone and quinate in human urine samples than mouse ones. This provides an approach to understand the detailed fragmentation pathways for organic isomers/isobars and a high-throughput MS strategy to quantify them in complex mixtures for metabolomics, lipidomics, foodomics and exposomics especially when chromatographic separations are not useable.

Human isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) is a highly conserved metabolic enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of isocitrate and α-ketoglutarate. Kinetic and structural studies with IDH1 have revealed evidence of striking conformational changes that occur upon binding of its substrates, isocitrate and NADP+, and its catalytic metal cation. Here, we used hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) to build a comprehensive map of the dynamic conformational changes experienced by IDH1 upon ligand binding. IDH1 proved well-suited for HDX-MS analysis, allowing us to capture profound changes in solvent accessibility at substrate binding sites and at a known regulatory region, as well as at more distant local subdomains that appear to support closure of this protein into its active conformation. HDX-MS analysis suggested that IDH1 is primarily purified with NADP(H) bound in the absence of its metal cation. Subsequent metal cation binding, even in the absence of isocitrate, was critical for driving large conformational changes. WT IDH1 folded into its fully closed conformation only when the full complement of substrates and metal was present. Finally, we show evidence supporting a previously hypothesized partially open conformation that forms prior to the catalytically active state, and we propose this conformation is driven by isocitrate binding in the absence of metal.

PURPOSE: Lower-grade glioma (LGG) is rare among patients above the age of 60 ("elderly"). Previous studies reported poor outcome, likely due to the inclusion of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wildtype astrocytomas and advocated defensive surgical and adjuvant treatment. This study set out to question this paradigm analyzing a contemporary cohort of patients with IDH mutant astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma WHO grade 2 and 3. METHODS: Elderly patients treated in our department for a supratentorial, hemispheric LGG between 2009 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed for patient-, tumor- and treatment-related factors and progression-free survival (PFS) and compared to patients aged under 60. Inclusion required the availability of subtype-defining molecular data and pre- and post-operative tumor volumes. RESULTS: 207 patients were included, among those 21 elderlies (10%). PFS was comparable between elderly and younger patients (46 vs. 54 months; p = 0.634). Oligodendroglioma was more common in the elderly (76% vs. 46%; p = 0.011). Most patients underwent tumor resection (elderly: 81% vs. younger: 91%; p = 0.246) yielding comparable residual tumor volumes (elderly: 7.8 cm3; younger: 4.1 cm3; p = 0.137). Adjuvant treatment was administered in 76% of elderly and 61% of younger patients (p = 0.163). Uni- and multi-variate survival analyses identified a tumor crossing the midline, surgical strategy, and pre- and post-operative tumor volumes as prognostic factors. CONCLUSION: Elderly patients constitute a small fraction of molecularly characterized LGGs. In contrast to previous reports, favorable surgical and survival outcomes were achieved in our series comparable to those of younger patients. Thus, intensified treatment including maximal safe resection should be advocated in elderly patients whenever feasible.

Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) naturally copurifies and crystallizes in a resting state with a molecule of its exchangeable cofactor, NADP+/NADPH, bound in each monomer of the homodimer. We report electrochemical studies with IDH1 that exploit this property to reveal the massive advantage of nanoconfinement to increase the efficiency of multistep enzyme-catalyzed cascade reactions. When coloaded with ferredoxin NADP+ reductase in a nanoporous conducting indium tin oxide film, IDH1 carries out the complete electrochemical oxidation of 6 mM isocitrate (in 4mL) to 2-oxoglutarate (2OG), using only the NADP(H) that copurified with IDH1 and was carried into the electrode pores as cargo-the system remains active for days. The entrapped cofactor, now quantifiable by cyclic voltammetry, undergoes ~160,000 turnovers during the process. The results from a variety of electrocatalysis experiments imply that the local concentrations of the two nanoconfined enzymes lie around the millimolar range. The combination of crowding and entrapment results in a 102 to 103-fold increase in the efficiency of NADP(H) redox cycling. The ability of the method to drive cascade catalysis in either direction (oxidation or reduction) and remove and replace substrates was exploited to study redox-state dependent differences in cofactor binding between wild-type IDH1 and the cancer-linked R132H variant that catalyzes the "gain of function" reduction of 2OG to 2-hydroxyglutarate instead of isocitrate oxidation. The combined results demonstrate the power of nanoconfinement for facilitating multistep enzyme catalysis (in this case energized and verified electrochemically) and reveal insights into the dynamic role of nicotinamide cofactors as redox (hydride) carriers.

BACKGROUND: Heterozygous mutations in the cytoplasmic and mitochondrial isoforms of isocitrate dehydrogenase enzymes 1 and 2 subtypes have been extensively exploited as viable druggable targets, as they decrease the affinity of isocitrate and higher affinity of D-2-hydroxyglutarate, an oncometabolite. OBJECTIVE: Vorasidenib (AG-881) has recently been reported as a promising dual inhibitor of mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 with the ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier towards the treatment of low-grade glioma. In order to combat drug resistance and toxicity levels, this compelled us to further investigate this substance as a basis for the creation of potential selective inhibitors of mutant isocitrate dehydrogenases 1 and 2. METHODS: By employing a wide range of computational techniques, binding moieties of AG-881 that contributed towards its selective binding to isocitrate dehydrogenase enzymes 1 and 2 were identified and subsequently used to generate pharmacophore models for the screening of potential inhibitor drugs that were further assessed by their pharmacokinetics and physicochemical properties. RESULTS: AG-881 was identified as the most favorable candidate for isocitrate dehydrogenase enzyme 1, exhibiting a binding free energy of -28.69 kcal/mol. ZINC93978407 was the most favorable candidatefor isocitrate dehydrogenase enzyme 2, displaying a strong binding free energy of -27.10 kcal/mol. ZINC9449923 and ZINC93978407 towards isocitrate dehydrogenase enzyme 1 and 2 showed good protein structural stability with a low radius of gyration values relative to AG-881. CONCLUSION: We investigated that ZINC9449923 of isocitrate dehydrogenase enzyme 1 and ZINC 93978407 of isocitrate dehydrogenase enzyme 2 could serve as promising candidates for the treatment of lower-grade glioma as they cross the blood-brain barrier, and present with lower toxicity levels relative to AG-881.

NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP-IDH, EC 1.1.1.42) catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate with the concomitant production of NADPH. NADPH plays important roles in many biosynthesis pathways, maintenance of proper oxidation-reduction balance, and protection against oxidative damage. This present study investigated the dynamic nature of NADP-IDH during hibernation by purifying it from the skeletal muscle of Richardson's ground squirrel (Urocitellus richardsonii) and analyzing its structural and functional changes in response to hibernation. Kinetic parameters of purified NADP-IDH from euthermic and hibernating ground squirrel skeletal muscle were characterized at 22 °C and 5 °C. Relative to euthermic muscle, -NADP-IDH in hibernating muscle had a higher affinity for its substrate, isocitrate at 22 °C, whereas at 5 °C, there was a significant decrease in isocitrate affinity. Western blot analysis revealed greater serine and threonine phosphorylation in hibernator NADP-IDH as compared to euthermic NADP-IDH. In addition, Bioinformatic analysis predicted the presence of 18 threonine and 21 serine phosphorylation sites on squirrel NADP-IDH. The structural and functional changes in NADP-IDH indicate the ability of the organism to reduce energy consumption during hibernation, while emphasizing increased NADPH production, and thus antioxidant activity, during torpor arousal cycles.

Phosphate (Pi) is essential for life as it is an integral part of the universal chemical energy adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and macromolecules such as, DNA, RNA proteins and lipids. Despite the core roles and the need of this nutrient in living cells, some bacteria can grow in environments that are poor in Pi. The metabolic mechanisms that enable bacteria to proliferate in a low phosphate environment are not fully understood. In this study, the soil microbe Pseudomonas (P.) fluorescens was cultured in a control and a low Pi (stress) medium in order to delineate how energy homeostasis is maintained. Although there was no significant variation in biomass yield in these cultures, metabolites like isocitrate, oxaloacetate, pyruvate and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) were markedly increased in the phosphate-starved condition. Components of the glycolytic, glyoxylate and tricarboxylic acid cycles operated in tandem to generate ATP by substrate level phosphorylation (SLP) as NADH-producing enzymes were impeded. The α-ketoglutarate (KG) produced when glutamine, the sole carbon nutrient was transformed into phosphoenol pyruvate (PEP) and succinyl-CoA (SC), two high energy moieties. The metabolic reprogramming orchestrated by isocitrate lyase (ICL), phosphoenolpyruvate synthase (PEPS), pyruvate phosphate dikinase (PPDK), and succinyl-CoA synthetase fulfilled the ATP budget. Cell free extract experiments confirmed ATP synthesis in the presence of such substrates as PEP, oxaloacetate and isocitrate respectively. Gene expression profiling revealed elevated transcripts associated with numerous enzymes including ICL, PEPS, and succinyl-CoA synthetase (SCS). This microbial adaptation will be critical in promoting biological activity in Pi-poor ecosystems.

Treatment of cystic fibrosis relies so far on expensive and sophisticated drugs. A logical approach to rescuing the defective ΔF508-CFTR protein has not yet been published. Therefore, virtual docking of ATP and CFTR activators to the open conformation of the CFTR protein was performed. A new ATP binding site outside of the two known locations was identified. It was located in the cleft between the nucleotide binding domains NBD1 and NBD2 and comprised six basic amino acids in close proximity. Citrate and isocitrate were also bound to this site. Citrate was evaluated for its action on epithelial cells with intact CFTR and defective ΔF508-CFTR. It activated hyaluronan export from human breast carcinoma cells and iodide efflux, and recovered ΔF508-CFTR from premature intracellular degradation. In conclusion, citrate is an activator for ΔF508-CFTR and increases export by defective ΔF508-CFTR into the extracellular matrix of epithelial cells.

Macrophages produce itaconic acid in phagosomes in response to bacterial cell wall component lipopolysaccharide to eliminate invading pathogenic bacteria. Itaconic acid competitively inhibits the first enzyme of the bacterial glyoxylate cycle. To overcome itaconic acid stress, bacteria employ the bacterial LysR-type transcriptional regulator RipR. However, it remains unknown which molecule activates RipR in bacterial pathogenesis. In this study, we determined the crystal structure of the regulatory domain of RipR from the intracellular pathogen Salmonella. The RipR regulatory domain structure exhibited the typical dimeric arrangement with the putative ligand-binding site between the two subdomains. Our isothermal titration calorimetry experiments identified isocitrate as the physiological ligand of RipR, whose intracellular level is increased in response to itaconic acid stress. We further found that 3-phenylpropionic acid significantly decreased the resistance of the bacteria to an itaconic acid challenge. Consistently, the complex structure revealed that the compound is antagonistically bound to the RipR ligand-binding site. This study provides the molecular basis of bacterial survival in itaconic acid stress from our immune systems. Further studies are required to reveal biochemical activity, which would elucidate how Salmonella survives in macrophage phagosomes by defending against itaconic acid inhibition of bacterial metabolism.

Isocitrate dehydrogenase 3 (IDH3) is a key enzyme in the mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, which catalyzes the decarboxylation of isocitrate into α-ketoglutarate and concurrently converts NAD+ into NADH. Dysfunction of IDH3B, the ß subunit of IDH3, has been previously correlated with retinal degeneration and male infertility in humans, but tissue-specific effects of IDH3 dysfunction are unclear. Here, we generated Idh3b-KO mice and found that IDH3B is essential for IDH3 activity in multiple tissues. We determined that loss of Idh3b in mice causes substantial accumulation of isocitrate and its precursors in the TCA cycle, particularly in the testes, whereas the levels of the downstream metabolites remain unchanged or slightly increased. However, the Idh3b-KO mice did not fully recapitulate the defects observed in humans. Global deletion of Idh3b only causes male infertility but not retinal degeneration in mice. Our investigation showed that loss of Idh3b causes an energetic deficit and disrupts the biogenesis of acrosome and flagellum, resulting in spermiogenesis arrestment in sperm cells. Together, we demonstrate that IDH3B controls its substrate levels in the TCA cycle, and it is required for sperm mitochondrial metabolism and spermiogenesis, highlighting the importance of the tissue-specific function of the ubiquitous TCA cycle.
