Resumo

AMP deaminase (AMPD) converts AMP to IMP and is a diverse and highly regulated enzyme that is a key component of the adenylate catabolic pathway. In this report, we identify the high affinity interaction between AMPD and phosphoinositides as a mechanism for regulation of this enzyme. We demonstrate that endogenous rat brain AMPD and the human AMPD3 recombinant enzymes specifically bind inositide-based affinity probes and to mixed lipid micelles that contain phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. Moreover, we show that phosphoinositides specifically inhibit AMPD catalytic activity. Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate is the most potent inhibitor, effecting pure noncompetitive inhibition of the wild type human AMPD3 recombinant enzyme with a Ki of 110 nm. AMPD activity can be released from membrane fractions by in vitro treatment with neomycin, a phosphoinositide-binding drug. In addition, in vivo modulation of phosphoinositide levels leads to a change in the soluble and membrane-associated pools of AMPD activity. The predicted human AMPD3 sequence contains pleckstrin homology domains and (R/K)Xn(R/K)X KK sequences, both of which are characterized phosphoinositide-binding motifs. The interaction between AMPD and phosphoinositides may mediate membrane localization of the enzyme and function to modulate catalytic activity in vivo.

Phosphoinositides and inositol polyphosphates (referred to collectively as inositides) are components of many pathways in eukaryotic cells, functioning in second messenger cascades, acting as regulators of many proteins, and operating as membrane localization signals (1Toker A.

Numerous protein and lipid kinases, adaptor proteins, ion channels, phospholipases, modulators of small GTPases, and actin-binding proteins are regulated by inositides (1Toker A. Cantley L.

To identify novel targets for inositides, our laboratories and others have used purification schemes employing affinity resins that contain tethered inositol polyphosphate head groups (3Theibert A.B.

These affinity purifications were successful in the identification of inositide binding in the clathrin adaptor/assembly protein AP-2 (6Voglmaier S.M. Keen J.H. Murphy J. Ferris C.D. Prestwich G.D.

Hirata M. Biochem. J. 1996; 313: 319-325Crossref PubMed Scopus (90) Google Scholar). In addition to AP-2 and centaurin α, we isolated several other proteins from rat brain, one of which was approximately 80 kDa (5Theibert A.B. Estevez V.A. Mourey R.J. Marecek J.F. Barrow R.K. Prestwich G.D. Snyder S.H. J. Biol. Chem. 1992; 267: 9071-9079Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Google Scholar). Published reports show that inositol polyphosphates modulate the activity of the enzyme AMP deaminase (EC 3.5.4.6) (AMPD) (10Yoshino M. Kawamura Y. Fujisawa K. Ogasawara N. J. Biochem. (Tokyo). 1976; 80: 309-313Crossref PubMed Scopus (13) Google Scholar, 11Spychala J. Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 1987; 148: 106-111Crossref PubMed Scopus (4) Google Scholar), an enzyme family whose endogenous, purified subunit molecular masses are between 66 and 88 kDa. Therefore, we hypothesized that AMPD could be the 80-kDa protein isolated using the inositide affinity resin. AMPD is a diverse and highly regulated enzyme located at a branchpoint in the adenine nucleotide catabolic pathway and is important in regulating nucleotide pools. AMPD is also a component of the purine nucleotide cycle, an energy-generating pathway reportedly operative in many animal tissues (reviewed in Ref. 12Van Waarde A. Biol. Rev. 1988; 63: 259-298Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). The AMPD1 gene encodes human isoform M and rat isoform A (13Sabina R.L. Morisaki T. Clarke P. Eddy R. Shows T.B. Morton C.C. Holmes EW. J. Biol.

Biochemistry. 1989; 28: 8734-8743Crossref PubMed Scopus (29) Google Scholar). All human AMPD isoforms contain similar C-terminal regions and substantially divergent N-terminal domains. The AMPD1 isoform is found almost exclusively in skeletal muscle, whereas the AMPD2 and AMPD3 isoforms are widely expressed in many tissues and cells (19Ogasawara N. Goto H. Yamada Y. Watanabe T. Eur. J. Biochem. 1978; 87: 297-304Crossref PubMed Scopus (72) Google Scholar, 20Ogasawara N. Goto H. Yamada Y. Watanabe T. Asano T. Biochim. Biophys.

Regarding the latter, polyphosphates (32Yoshino M. Murakami K. Biochim. Biophys. Acta. 1988; 954: 271-276Crossref PubMed Scopus (6) Google Scholar) and inositol (1,2,3,4,5,6)-hexakisphosphate (10Yoshino M. Kawamura Y. Fujisawa K. Ogasawara N. J. Biochem. (Tokyo). 1976; 80: 309-313Crossref PubMed Scopus (13) Google Scholar) inhibit AMPD, whereas inositol (1,3,4,5)-tetrakisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4,5)P4) modestly stimulates AMPD activity (11Spychala J. Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 1987; 148: 106-111Crossref PubMed Scopus (4) Google Scholar). AMPD activity is also modulated by lipids. In particular, nonskeletal muscle AMPD activities are regulated by fatty acids, fatty acyl coenzyme As, phosphatidic acid, and phosphatidylcholine (PC) with Ki values ranging from 10 to 100 μm (33Skladanowski A.

The high concentrations required for these modulatory effects suggest that these lipid interactions may be low affinity or nonspecific. However, the interaction with lipids may prove to be physiologically relevant. Whereas hydropathy analysis suggests that AMPD isoforms do not contain putative transmembrane spanning domains, the AMPD3 enzyme can associate with erythrocyte membrane fractions (40Pipoly G.M.

In this report, we provide several independent lines of evidence that the specific, high affinity interaction between the AMPD3 isoform and phosphoinositides constitutes an important mechanism for enzyme regulation and localization.

Human AMPD3 recombinant protein (2 μg) was added to the micelles for 30 min at 25 °C, and centrifuged at 400,000 × g for 40 min. The pellets were separated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose, and probed with the anti-AMPD3 antibody. PC12 cells were cultured on 10-cm culture plates and grown to confluency in cell culture media (RPMI, fetal bovine serum, horse serum, penicillin/streptomycin, andl-glutamine). Cells were collected by trituration, centrifuged at 1000 × g for 5 min, and lysed by sonication, and the supernatants and membranes were separated by centrifugation at 12,000 × g for 5 min. Phosphoinositide levels were determined as described in Ref. 44Li Y. Lombardini J.B. Brain Res. 1991; 553: 89-96Crossref PubMed Scopus (38) Google Scholar. PC12 cells were preincubated with 10 mm taurine for 2 h, and then 30 μCi of [γ-32P]ATP was added to the culture media and incubated at 37 °C for 3 h. Lipids were extracted with 1 ml of chloroform-methanol (1:2 v/v) and 0.25 ml of 10 mm EDTA, pH 7.4, and centrifuged at 1000 × g for 5 min. The organic layer was removed, washed with 0.125 ml of 2.4 mHCl and 1 ml of CH3OH-H20 (1:1 v/v) and centrifuged for 5 min. The organic layer was removed, dried under N2, and dissolved in chloroform-methanol (2:1 v/v). Lipids were separated using Whatman (Maidstone, UK) silica gel plates with chloroform/methanol/4 m NH4OH (90:65:20 v/v/v). Using an aminopropyl-InsP4 resin to purify inositide-binding proteins from rat brain, we previously identified a protein at approximately 80 kDa that eluted in fractions containing the clathrin adaptor/assembly protein AP-2 (3Theibert A.B.

Published reports have shown that AMPD, an enzyme family whose native purified subunit molecular masses are between 66–88 kDa, is regulated by inositol polyphosphates (10Yoshino M. Kawamura Y. Fujisawa K. Ogasawara N. J. Biochem. (Tokyo). 1976; 80: 309-313Crossref PubMed Scopus (13) Google Scholar, 11Spychala J. Biochem. Biophys. Res.

Therefore we tested whether AMPD activity was enriched in fractions containing the 80-kDa protein eluted from the aminopropyl-InsP4 resin (Fig.1 A). All of the AMPD activity bound to the resin, and a symmetrical peak of AMPD activity was eluted in the fractions containing AP-2 and the 80-kDa protein. Similar to AP-2, the 80-kDa protein in the peak activity fractions incorporated an [125I]ASA-InsP4 photoaffinity label (Fig.1 B, odd fractions). Photolabeling was specific because including 30 μm unlabeled Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 displaced the label (Fig. 1 B, even fractions). By batch purification, the aminopropyl-InsP4 resin gave a 71-fold purification with a specific activity of 917.1 nmol/min/mg and an 86% yield. Immunoblot analysis of batch eluted aminopropyl-InsP4 eluate with an anti-AMPD3 serum (Fig. 1 C) indicated a single strongly immunoreactive band at approximately 80 kDa. Because both AMPD2 and AMPD3 are expressed in brain (21Ogasawara N. Goto H. Watanabe T. FEBS Lett. 1975; 58: 245-248Crossref PubMed Scopus (22) Google Scholar, 22Sims B Powers R.E. Sabina R.L.

Thus, comparable with other high affinity inositide-binding proteins, endogenous rat brain AMPD is effectively purified using an inositide affinity resin (3Theibert A.B. Prestwich G.D. Jackson T.

American Chemical Society, Washington, D.C.1998: 24-37Google Scholar). Recent advances in recombinant expression of human AMPD cDNAs have provided larger quantities of higher purity enzymes than can be obtained from endogenous sources (42Mahnke-Zizelman D.K. Tullson P.C. Sabina R.L. J. Biol. Chem. 1998; 273: 35118-35125Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (29) Google Scholar). Therefore, the human AMPD3 recombinant enzyme was used to determine the specificity and affinity of inositide binding in AMPD. AMPD was specifically labeled using a high efficiency [3H]BZDC-Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 photoprobe (Fig.2, A–C, Total). A variety of inositides and phospholipids were tested for displacement of the photolabel. PtdIns(4,5)P2 and PtdIns(4)P were the most potent inhibitors of photolabeling, with 50% displacement of the label (IC50) effected by addition of 250 nm (Fig. 2, A and B). PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 was weaker, with an IC50 between 1–2 μm (Fig.2 B). Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 and inositol (1,2,3,4,5,6)-hexakisphosphate were substantially less effective and displaced the photolabel only when added at 10 μm (Fig.2 B). Phosphatidylinositol (PI) and PS displaced the photolabel when added at concentrations greater than 10 μm (Fig. 2 C), whereas PE or PC did not displace the label even at 30 μm. AMPD could also be photolabeled with a [3H]BZDC-PtdIns(4,5)P2probe (Fig. 2 D). Lower concentrations of PtdIns(4,5)P2 were required to effect displacement in this label (IC50 = 100 nm) presumably because lower concentrations of the [3H]BZDC-PtdIns(4,5)P2label were used. These data show that the human AMPD3 recombinant enzyme binds phosphoinositides with high affinity, with both the inositol head group and glycerolipid moieties essential for high affinity binding. To ensure that differences in lipid accessibility or micellar size were not the basis for the apparent specificity differences observed, we examined the interaction of AMPD3 recombinant protein with unilamellar mixed lipid micelles. Binding of AMPD to mixed micelles that contained PE as the core lipid and increasing concentrations of either PtdIns(4,5)P2, PS, PI, or PC, is shown in Fig.3. A fraction of the human AMPD3 recombinant enzyme consistently associated with the PE micelle pellet, presumably through a low affinity interaction with PE that is present in high concentrations in the micelles. However, addition of PtdIns(4,5)P2 to the PE micelles produced a substantial increase in the binding of AMPD to the micelles. The increase in AMPD associated with the lipid micelle was concentration-dependent and saturable with half-maximal association observed at approximately 200 nm. In contrast, addition of PS, PI, or PC to the PE micelles did not lead to any additional increase in association of AMPD compared with PE alone, indicating that the enhanced binding was selective for PtdIns(4,5)P2. These data demonstrate that the human AMPD3 recombinant enzyme recognizes PtdIns(4,5)P2 in a mixed micelle with an affinity and selectivity similar to that determined in the photoaffinity labeling. We next examined the effect of phosphoinositides on AMPD catalytic activity. Phosphoinositides potently inhibit human AMPD3 recombinant activity in a dose-dependent manner (Fig.4). PtdIns(4,5)P2 was the most effective inhibitor of enzyme activity, with an IC50of approximately 100 nm (Fig. 4 A, open symbols). The only other phospholipids that inhibited activity in the submicromolar range were phosphoinositides (Fig. 4, B and C). PtdIns(3)P, PtdIns(4)P, PtdIns(3,4)P2, and PtdIns(3,4,5) were between 1.5- and 3-fold less potent than PtdIns(4,5)P2 but did not effect complete inhibition even at 3 μm. Other phospholipids, such as PI, PC, and PS, produced either no or only slight (<20%) inhibition when the concentration was increased to 3 μm (Fig. 4, C and D). Inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate, Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, and inositol (1,2,3,4,5,6)-hexakisphosphate had no effect on activity, even at 30 μm (Fig.4 D). Endogenous rat brain AMPD is also potently inhibited by phosphoinositides (Fig. 4 A, closed symbols). Phosphoinositides were approximate
