Title : Inhibition of
phospholamban phosphorylation by O-GlcNAcylation: implications for diabetic cardiomyopathy
Abstract :
- Cardiac-type sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2 )- ATPase ( SERCA2a ) plays a major role in cardiac muscle contractility
- Phospholamban ( PLN ) regulates the function of SERCA2a via its Ser(16)-phosphorylation
- Since it has been proposed that the Ser/Thr residues on cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins are modified by O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc), we examined the effect of O-GlcNAcylation on PLN function in rat adult cardiomyocytes
- Studies using enzymatic labeling and co-immunoprecipitation of wild type and a series of mutants of PLN showed that PLN was O-GlcNAcylated and Ser(16) of PLN might be the site for O-GlcNAcylation
- In cardiomyocytes treated with O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranosylidene)amino-N-phenylcarbamate (PUGNAc), the O-GlcNAcylation was significantly increased compared to non-treated cells
- Simultaneously, Ser(16)-phosphorylation of PLN was reduced
- In Chinese hamster ovary cells where PLN cDNA and O-GlcNAc transferase siRNA were co-transfected, the Ser(16)-phosphorylation of PLN was significantly increased compared to controls
- The same results were observed in heart homogenates from diabetic rats
- In a co-immunoprecipitation of PLN with SERCA2a , the physical interaction between the two proteins was increased in PUGNAc-treated cardiomyocytes
- Unlike non-treated cells, the activity of SERCA2a and the profiles of calcium transients in PUGNAc-treated cardiomyocytes were not significantly changed even after treatment with catecholamine
- These data suggest that PLN is O-GlcNAcylated to induce the inhibition of its phosphorylation, which correlates to the deterioration of cardiac function
- This might define a novel mechanism by which PLN regulation of SERCA2a is altered under conditions where O-GlcNAcylation is increased, such as those occurring in diabetes
