Title : Modulation of
dynamin-related protein 1 (
DRP1 ) function by increased O-linked-β-N-acetylglucosamine modification (O-GlcNAc) in cardiac myocytes
Abstract :
- O-linked-N-acetyl-glucosamine glycosylation (O-GlcNAcylation) of the serine and threonine residues of cellular proteins is a dynamic process and affects phosphorylation
- Prolonged O-GlcNAcylation has been linked to diabetes-related complications, including mitochondrial dysfunction
- Mitochondria are dynamically remodeling organelles, that constantly fuse (fusion) and divide (fission)
- An imbalance of this process affects mitochondrial function
- In this study, we found that dynamin-related protein 1 ( DRP1 ) is O-GlcNAcylated in cardiomyocytes at threonine 585 and 586
- O-GlcNAcylation was significantly enhanced by the chemical inhibition of N-acetyl-glucosaminidase
- Increased O-GlcNAcylation decreases the phosphorylation of DRP1 at serine 637 , which is known to regulate DRP1 function
- In fact, increased O-GlcNAcylation augments the level of the GTP-bound active form of DRP1 and induces translocation of DRP1 from the cytoplasm to mitochondria
- Mitochondrial fragmentation and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential also accompany the increased O-GlcNAcylation
- In conclusion, this report shows, for the first time, that O-GlcNAcylation modulates DRP1 functionality in cardiac muscle cells
