Regulation and Integration of Metabolism Lecture M5/5 Jane Carré Lecturer in Human Nutrition and Metabolism, SoBS [email protected] Putting it all together Consider the main metabolic pathways we have covered in energy metabolism. Which ones are catabolic? Which ones are anabolic? What effect would high activity of these pathways have on: the reduction potential NAD(P)H/NAD(P)+? the phosphorylation potential ATP/[ADP+Pi]? Which pathways would you expect to be active in the FED state? Which ones in a FASTED state? In which organs? Accumulation of metabolites typically signalling Discuss together theenergy status key metabolites that indicated each energy state: liver Energy-rich state Energy-depleted state (high energy charge) (low energy charge) Typically: Typically: Substrate-depleted: Substrate-full: TCA cycle intermediates TCA cycle intermediates Low reducing power => low NAD()H/ Reducing power => high NAD(P)+ NAD(P)H/NAD(P)+ Phosphorylating power =>high Phosphorylating power =>high ATP/ADP ATP/ADP NAD glucose-6- AMP + phosphate NAD malonyl CoA acetyl H CoA ATP citra oxaloacet te NADP ate Metabolic convergence Major fuels converge on the ‘typical’ metabolic pathways Learning outcomes the end of this lecture you will be able to: 1. explain the need to regulate metabolic pathway flux 2. understand the concept that control of flux is shared between different enzymes in a pathway, and that enzymes with a high degree of control represent steps with regulatory potential and thus are therapeutically relevant 3. understand the concept that energy metabolism is largely controlled by energetic demand 4. outline the different ways in which metabolic regulation is achieved in cells and provide examples 5. describe key features of hormonal regulation 6. describe the metabolic role of insulin in the fed state 7. recognise key metabolic intermediates that indicate cellular energy status Integrating whole body metabolism Key metabolic roles of different organs liver muscle adipose storage of CHO storage of CHO storage of fat Fuel reserves (glycogen) (glycogen) (TAG) reserve of amino acids Fuel mobilisation glucose output amino acid fatty acid output output o important roles of gut, brain, pancreas, kidney 6 The need for regulation of metabolism pattern of nutrient intake is sporadic must be able to take in macronutrient fuels, store them as necessary, oxidise them when required anabolic and catabolic macronutrient pathways active at different times different organs have different fuel needs Flow (flux) of energy substrates needs to be regulated – but where? achieved by changing activity of enzymes in metabolic pathways – but which ones? how? Figure: Frayn N and Akanji AO (2010) Integration of Metabolism 2: Macronutrients. In Nutrition and Metabolism (Susan A. Lanham-New, , Ian A. MacDonald, , Helen M. 7 Key Concept: where to regulate Metabolic pathway flux is controlled more by some enzymes than others in the pathway = flow, ie overall rate of metabolite flow through a metabolic pathway Concept of metabolic flux* control Small changes in activity of some enzymes input metabolites output affects the overall flux through the pathway more than changes in activity of others Such enzymes are said to have a relatively high degree of control over metabolic flux communicated through metabolite pools Control is shared across enzymes in a pathway and changes in activity of these enzymes may : restrict flow of metabolites through the may shift under different pathway or cellular conditions stimulate flow of metabolites Energy metabolism is largely controlled by energy demand and responds to changes in cytosolic ATP/ADP Small changes in activity of energy demanding processes affects the overall flux through the pathway more than changes in activity of energy cytosolic ATP ATP supply ATP/ADP supply demand Energy demand is said to have a relatively high degree of control over metabolic flux Communicated through cytosolic ATP/ADP increases in energetic demand mitochondrial NADH/NAD+ also important are met by increases in ATP supply Changes in energy demand may : from energy yielding catabolic processes restrict flow of metabolites through the catabolic pathway or decreases in energetic demand stimulate flow of metabolites through anabolic are met by pathways decreases in ATP supply from energy yielding catabolic processes Control is shared across enzymes in a pathway Key Concept: where to regulate Enzymes with most metabolic control offer potential for regulation ant to understanding metabolism, but also clinical relevance for therapeutic targeting Metabolic regulation occurs by changing enzyme activity – but which enzymes? Some common features of enzymes that have high metabolic control First unique step of a pathway Enzyme after a branchpoint in a pathway Enzymes operating far from equilibrium – essentially irreversible Transport processes often control availability of intermediates for enzyme So activity but how is regulation of enzyme activity achieved? that’s where… 10 *Note: ‘rule-of-thumb’, but not true for all enzymes/steps that have these characteristics… not all regulated enzymes Activity Concepts in metabolic regulation: how to regulate Metabolic pathways are regulated to: respond to environmental cues (eg nutrient availability, workload) meet metabolic needs of individual organs Discuss: In what ways can this be achieved? 11 Activity Concepts in metabolic regulation Engagement of different metabolic pathways can be achieved in various ways 1) Compartmentalisation of metabolic enzymes Different organs Different subcellular locations 2) Different enzymes catalyse ‘forward’ and ‘reverse’ metabolic pathways 3) Different isozymes respond to environmental states kinetic properties 4) Enzyme activity regulated in response to environmental metabolite concentrations states a. product inhibition/activation; substrate limitation by action of signalling enzymes; hormones b. allosteric regulation of enzymes 12 c. covalent modification of enzymes Metabolic regulation is achieved in different ways w is regulation of enzyme activity achieved? Short-acting expression of different versions of the same (mins, hours) enzyme - isozymes substrate availability Feedback/feedforward by products/metabolic intermediates products covalent modification – eg phosphorylation fast-acting hormones Long-acting slow-acting hormones (hours, days) 13 1. Compartmentalisation of metabolism ve already seen physical separation of metabolic pathways: Tissue-specific expression of gluconeogenesis restricted to liver (& kidney) metabolic pathways fatty acid synthesis – liver, adipose ketogenesis - liver urea cycle – liver fatty acid breakdown (mitochondria) Compartmentalisation of separated from fatty acid synthesis enzymes within cells (cytosol) 14 1. Compartmentalisation of enzymes: tissue specificity eg: glucose 6 phosphatase allows gluconeogenesis in liver not muscle presence of glucose 6 phosphatase allows gluconeogenesis in liver lacking in muscle muscle lacks glucose 6 phosphatase other gluconeogenesis enzymes also lacking in muscle enzyme cannot release glucose so cannot perform gluconeogenesis directly muscle glycogen (via glycolysis) produces substrates eg alanine for liver gluconeogenesis glucose alanine to liver for gluconeogenesis alanine transamination Lecture M2 2. Alternative enzymes to catalyze ‘reverse’ process e also already seen different enzymes catalyse reverse chemistry: Activity – discuss with those around you why/how….. Gluconeogenesis is not a straightforward reversal of glycolysis Fatty acid synthesis uses different enzymes compared to fatty acid breakdown 16 revisiting Gluconeogenesis - pathway Essentially reverse of glycolysis EXCEPT for 3 key Recallsteps 3 essentially irreversible steps: hexokinase Phosphofructokinase pyruvate kinase Also, decarboxylation of pyruvate by pyruvate ruvate carboxylase acetyl CoA dehydrogenase cannot be reversed EP carboxylase acetyl CoA cannot be converted to glucose oxaloacetate citrate as OAA is withdrawn from TCA cycle means fats and some amino acids cannot be precursors to glucose synthesis from acetyl coA Lecture M2 Revisiting Gluconeogenesis - pathway Essentially reverse of glycolysis EXCEPT for 3 key steps glycolysis gluconeogenesis hexokinase glucose-6-phosphatase phosphofructoki fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase nase pyruvate kinase pyruvate carboxylase PEP carboxylase Tight regulation of gluconeogenesis over glycolysis is achieved by using different enzymes to catalyse forward and reverse reactions Overcomes Lecture M2 energetic barrier that prevents simple reversal of glycolysis Alternative enzymes to catalyze ‘reverse’ process e also already seen different enzymes catalyze reverse chemistry: Gluconeogenesis is not a straightforward reversal of glycolysis – 3 ‘irreversible’ enzymes to overcome Fatty acid synthesis uses different enzymes to fatty acid breakdown Q: But how is activity of different pathways regulated? Which enzymes are regulated? How are pathways ‘switched on/off’? 19 3. Regulation by different isozymes Expression of different versions of the same enzyme = isozyme (or isoenzyme) isozymes: may be tissue-specific and/or compartment-specific typically differ in terms of kinetic and/or regulatory properties Eg hexokinase versus glucokinase 20 Reminder: enzymes displacement of reactions from equilibrium and ratio of [products/reactants] acts as a ‘mass action’ thermodynamic driving force Nathaniel’s lectures: rate of enzyme reaction is proportional to substrate concentration Km of an enzyme is the substrate concentration at which half the maximal rate is achieved Enzymes may be inhibited by product Enzymes may be allosterically inhibited or activated by molecules that bind at a site other than the active site 21 Different isozymes have different regulatory features that dictate metabolic function of tissue example hexokinase glucokinase skeletal Liver, pancreas muscle Physiological range low Km – high Km – not saturated saturated at physiological at physiological range of glucose range of glucose Enzyme activity varies Enzyme with glucose maximally active concentration 22 at all glucose Different isozymes have different regulatory features that dictate metabolic function of tissue Muscle: driven by ATP supply Pancrease: driven by ATP demand muscle cell – hexokinase pancreatic β cell – glucokinase muscle contraction blood glucose > 5 mM ATP/ADP ↓ glucose catabolism ↑ glucose catabolism ↑ ATP/ADP ↑ ATP/ADP ↑ insulin release ↑ regulatory potential of hexokinase influences cell-specific physiology 23 4b. Feedback & feedforward regulation by metabolites: allosteric regulation feedback feedforward metabolites upstream or downstream activate or inhibit regulatory enzymes allosteric regulation Effector binds to site other than active site 24 4. Regulation by metabolite concentrations revisiting Regulation of fatty acid synthesis and breakdown itochondrial -oxidation of fatty acids fatty acid synthesis in cytosol Liver & adipose the two processes should not occur at the same time 25 Lecture M3 Next two examples relate to regulation of the balance between these processes Regulation of CPTII by substrate availability regulation & example control Substrate availability feeds forward to stimulate continued transport regulation of balance between synthesis and breakdown atty acids: regulation of CPTII by coenzyme A Coenzyme A high levels of free CoA in matrix => continued uptake carnitine available for co-transport fatty acid oxidation facilitated low levels of free CoA in matrix => prevent uptake CPTII activity prevented in mito matrix carnitine unavailable for co-transport fatty acid oxidation slows occurs when acyl CoA production>use fed state 26 Lecture M3 revisiting Allosteric feedback regulation of CPT1 by malonyl example CoA Example of feedback control of metabolic status: regulates balance between synthesis and breakdown of fatty acids activated fatty acid bound to coenzyme Malonyl CoA precursor for fatty acid synthesis inhibits CPT1 Blocks fatty acyl CoA uptake into mitochondria signals ‘storage’ activated fatty acid transferred to prevents use of fatty acids as fuels carrier molecule carnitine for transport into mitos 27 Lecture M3 4b. allosteric regulation Allosteric regulation of phosphofructokinase allows example glycolysis to respond to energy status of cell phosphofructokinase is a key regulatory enzyme in glycolysis regulated in different ways in response to energy + status of cell 5’AMP inactivated by physiological [ATP] => product inhibition of hexokinase also inactivated by high [citrate] => high energy charge phosphofructokinase activation by 5’AMP (low energy charge) displaces allosteric inhibitory ATP ensures glycolysis activated to generate ATP & PFK is inhibited byNADH when i.e. high [ATP], fuelatneeded a high energy charge PFK is activated by high [5’AMP], i.e. at a low energy charge 28 revisiting Role of adenylate kinase and AMP in energy homeostasis ATP is produced by mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation ATP supplied in response to energetic demand When energetic demand increases, high [ADP] => converted by adenylate kinase to AMP MP acts as cellular signal of energy status metabolic AMP sensors regulate metabolism Lecture M1 Expanding: regulation Allosteric regulation of AMP kinase cascades signal low energy charge via covalent modification of enzymes example AMP-activated kinase: a ‘master regulator’ of energy metabolism High AMP (low energy charge) indicates imbalance in fuel supply in relation to cell’s energy needs allosterically- activated AMP kinase phosphorylates other Activated by AMP proteins [LOW ENERGY covalent modification => conformational change triggers co-ordinated responses CHARGE] increases fuel mobilisation For info increases capacity for fuel oxidation – eg mitochondrial biogenesis AMP produced by adenylate kinase when ADP rises (energy 30 demand>supply) 4d. Hormones stimulus such as the blood concentration of: metabolic fuels other hormones neuronal control. release of hormone from the endocrine gland in which it is made circulates in the bloodstream acts only on target cells that have receptors for the hormone 31 Hormone binding to receptors causes a signalling cascade that results in cellular responses Two types of hormone response Fast-acting: changes in activity of existing enzymes due to covalent modification. Receptor releases second messengers Direct/indirect activation of an enzyme that catalyses a covalent modification of an enzyme eg kinase activated => phosphorylates target Increases or decreases activity of enzyme Slow-acting: changes in rate of synthesis of enzymes second messengers bind to regulatory regions of DNA alter rate of transcription of one or more genes32 Source:

(inactivation) phosphorylation glycogen phosphorylase (activation) 38 Lecture Glucagon M2 Outcome: hormonemuscle elicits supply of substrates the same response –for liver gluconeogenesis Energy metabolism is largely controlled by energy demand and responds to changes in cytosolic ATP/ADP Small changes in activity of energy demanding processes affects the overall flux through the pathway more than changes in activity of energy cytosolic ATP ATP supply ATP/ADP supply demand Energy demand is said to have a relatively high degree of control over metabolic flux Communicated through cytosolic ATP/ADP increases in energetic demand mitochondrial NADH/NAD+ also important are met by increases in ATP supply Changes in energy demand may : from energy yielding catabolic processes restrict flow of metabolites through the catabolic pathway or decreases in energetic demand stimulate flow of metabolites through anabolic are met by pathways decreases in ATP supply from energy yielding catabolic processes Control is shared across enzymes in a pathway Energy metabolism is largely controlled by energy demand and responds to changes in cytosolic ATP/ADP ATP cytosolic ATP Supply ATP/ADP demand (fuel oxidation) (work) increases in energetic demand are met by g exercise stimulation of fuel oxidation increases in ATP supply from energy yielding catabolic processes decreases in energetic demand are met by decreases in ATP supply from energy yielding catabolic processes Regulation of the use of metabolic fuels in muscle during aerobic exercise Muscle is composed of fibres with different metabolic features – oxidative (slow-twitch, T1) or glycolytic (fast-twitch, TIIB) Glucose is main fuel for resting muscle in fed state => Anaerobic glycolysis due to poor perfusion Moderate aerobic exercise (gentle jogging, brisk walking) => Plasma non-esterified fatty acids NEFA Prolonged aerobic exercise at relatively high intensity (eg major fuel marathon running) Increased reliance on stores of glycogen and TAG, with glucose from gluconeogenesis (liver) As exercise continues, plasma NEFA more important 41 ATP yields from fuel sources ATP/mol substrate theoretical maximum yield anaerobic glycolysis 2 Max n reducing equivalents substrate level phosphorylation aerobic glycolysis 32-34 Max formation/use of pmf in OXPHOS -fatty acid oxidation 110-126 factors affecting actual yield from OXPHOS include how much of pmf is available for ATP synthesis benefits of low molar affected by uncoupling of efficiency? oxphos Metabolic flexibility Ability of cells to adapt to conditions by engaging different energy yielding pathways anaerobic aerobic glycolysis, fatty acid oxidation analogy: analogy: low gear high gear slower turnover rapid turnover low yield => rapid turnover high yield => slower inefficient turnover rapid response to demand more efficient sustainable? longer lasting (blade size represents ATP yiel Integrating metabolism ts: etabolism and glucose metabolism are intimately related one predominates, the other is minimised ved through hormonal regulation – insulin suppresses fat mobilisation, stimulates glucose use an ved through metabolite regulation – eg
