Compartment-specific Protection of Iron-Sulfur Proteins by Superoxide Dismutase
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Iron and oxygen are essential but potentially toxic constituents of most organisms, and their transport is meticulously regulated both at the cellular and systemic levels. Compartmentalization may be a homeostatic mechanism for isolating these biological reactants in cells. To investigate this hypothesis, we have undertaken a genetic analysis of the interaction between iron and oxygen metabolism in Drosophila. We show that Drosophila iron regulatory protein-1 (IRP1) registers cytosolic iron and oxidative stress through its labile iron sulfur cluster by switching between cytosolic aconitase and RNA-binding functions. IRP1 is strongly activated by silencing and genetic mutation of the cytosolic superoxide dismutase (Sod1), but is unaffected by silencing of mitochondrial Sod2. Conversely, mitochondrial aconitase activity is relatively insensitive to loss of Sod1 function, but drops dramatically if Sod2 activity is impaired. This strongly suggests that the mitochondrial boundary limits the range of superoxide reactivity in vivo. We also find that exposure of adults to paraquat converts cytosolic aconitase to IRP1 but has no affect on mitochondrial aconitase, indicating that paraquat generates superoxide in the cytosol but not in mitochondria. Accordingly, we find that transgene-mediated overexpression of Sod2 neither enhances paraquat resistance in Sod1+ flies nor compensates for lack of SOD1 activity in Sod1-null mutants. We conclude that in vivo, superoxide is confined to the subcellular compartment in which it is formed, and that the mitochondrial and cytosolic SODs provide independent protection to compartment-specific protein iron-sulfur clusters against attack by superoxide generated under oxidative stress within those compartments.

Iron and oxygen are indispensable but potentially harmful elements of aerobic life. Individually, their reactivity has been harnessed through association with a variety of proteins and the regulation of iron and oxygen metabolism constitutes one of the major triumphs of molecular evolution (1Rouault T. Klausner R. Curr. Top. Cell Regul. 1997; 35: 1-19Crossref PubMed Scopus (213) Google Scholar). Iron sulfur cluster proteins function in electron transport during oxidative phosphorylation and metabolism, but can also serve as iron and oxygen sensors (2Beinert H. Holm R.H. Munck E. Science. 1997; 277: 653-659Crossref PubMed Scopus (1497) Google Scholar). For instance, iron regulatory protein-1 (IRP1) 1The abbreviations used are: IRP1iron regulatory protein-1IREiron responsive elementSODsuperoxide dismutase.1The abbreviations used are: IRP1iron regulatory protein-1IREiron responsive elementSODsuperoxide dismutase. exerts its dual activities through the reciprocal use or dissasembly of its cubane iron sulfur [4Fe-4S] cluster; the holoprotein functions as a cytosolic aconitase, whereas the apoprotein is an RNA-binding translational regulator (1Rouault T. Klausner R. Curr. Top. Cell Regul. 1997; 35: 1-19Crossref PubMed Scopus (213) Google Scholar, 3Haile D.J. Rouault T.A. Tang C.K. Chin J. Harford J.B. Klausner R.D. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 1992; 89: 7536-7540Crossref PubMed Scopus (215) Google Scholar). The stability and functionality of IRP1 as a translation regulator is affected not only by iron levels, but also by oxidative stress, which induces IRP1 to bind iron responsive elements (IREs) located on the 5′ and 3′ untranslated regions of target genes (4Rouault T.A.

Redox Rep. 2002; 7: 15-22Crossref PubMed Scopus (38) Google Scholar). Although it is established that [4Fe-4S] cluster proteins can be specifically inactivated by superoxide (O2·¯) (6Gardner P.R.

Studies in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have suggested an important role for cytosolic and mitochondrial superoxide dismutases (SODs) in iron metabolism (12Srinivasan C. Liba A. Imlay J.A. Valentine J.S.

Chem. 2000; 275: 11645-11649Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (81) Google Scholar). In addition to its function in the cytosol, SOD1 localizes in the mitochondrial intermembrane space and appears to also contribute to mitochondrial superoxide scavenging (14Sturtz L.A. Diekert K. Jensen L.T. Lill R. Culotta V.C. J. Biol. Chem. 2001; 276: 38084-38089Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Google Scholar). Conversely, overexpression of the mitochondrial SOD2 was shown to compensate for lack of the cytosolic enzyme in a set of experiments assessing resistance to freeze-thaw stress (15Park J.I. Grant C.M. Davies M.J. Dawes I.W. J. Biol. Chem. 1998; 273: 22921-22928Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (119) Google Scholar). Although these results may point to some extent of functional redundancy between the two enzymes, other aspects of the Sod1Δ phenotype, such as vacuolar fragmentation, cannot be rescued by Sod2 overexpression (16Corson L.B. Folmer J. Strain J.J. Culotta V.C. Cleveland D.W. J. Biol. Chem. 1999; 274: 27590-27596Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (55) Google Scholar). Moreover, only recombinant bacterial FeSOD that is targeted to yeast mitochondria can rescue Sod2Δ, but it cannot rescue Sod2Δ if the mitochondrial targeting sequence is omitted and FeSOD is expressed in cytosol (17Balzan R.

Commun. 1999; 256: 63-67Crossref PubMed Scopus (19) Google Scholar). These results suggest a functional compartmentalization of superoxide metabolism and have broad implications for both physiologic redox signaling and cellular oxidative stress (19Pani G. Bedogni B. Colavitti R. Anzevino R. Borrello S. Galeotti T. IUBMB Life. 2001; 52: 7-16Crossref PubMed Scopus (50) Google Scholar). However, the question of whether mitochondrially derived superoxide normally transfers into the cytosol (20St-Pierre J. Buckingham J.A. Roebuck S.J. Brand M.D. J. Biol. Chem. 2002; 277: 44784-44790Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (1224) Google Scholar, 21Han D. Antunes F. Canali R.D.R Cadenas E. J. Biol.

To address these questions, we used the cytosolic (IRP1) and mitochondrial aconitases as compartment-specific markers of O2·¯ reactivity in conjunction with genetic modulation of superoxide dismutase levels in the cytosolic and mitochondrial compartments. We present evidence that, in Drosophila, these compartments define and limit the range of O2·¯ reactivity. Drosophila Stocks—Drosophila was cultured at 25 °C on standard cornmeal agar medium. Sod1n108 and Sod1x39 represent null-activity alleles of the Sod1 gene (25Phillips J.P. Campbell S.D. Michaud D. Charbonneau M. Hilliker A.J. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S.

All RNAi experiments presented here were reproduced with different independent transgene insertions and by crossing to another ubiquitous driver line, tub-Gal4 (Flybase: P{GAL4-tubP}). For transgene-mediated overexpression of Sod2, UAS-Sod2 transformants were generated by standard embryo injection methods (28Rubin G.M. Spradling A.C. Science. 1982; 218: 348-353Crossref PubMed Scopus (2330) Google Scholar) using a pUAST transformation vector (29Brand A.H. Perrimon N.

Drosophila Cell Culture—Schneider II cells were maintained at 25 °C in Schneider's Drosophila medium (Invitrogen). Sixteen hours prior harvesting, either 20 and 50 μm deferoxamine or 20 and 100 μg/ml ferric ammonium citrate (Sigma) were added to the medium. RNA Mobility Shift Assay—Whole flies or cell pellets were homogenized directly in band shift buffer (40 mm KCl, 25 mm Tris HCl, pH 7.5) containing 1% Triton X-100, 5 mm dithiothreitol, and protease inhibitors. Extracts were centrifuged twice at >16000 × g on a bench-top centrifuge (4 °C), and the supernatant was immediately used for further analysis. Protein concentrations were determined using the Bradford reagent (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). Ten μg of total protein were added to a final volume of 12.5 μl of band shift buffer with or without 2% 2-mercaptoethanol, which activates IRP1 in vitro. The samples were incubated for 5 min at room temperature with 12.5 μl of a reaction mixture containing 20% glycerol, 0.2 units/μl Super RNAsine, 2 μg/μl yeast tRNA, 200 μm dithiothreitol, and 32P-labeled IRE from the human ferritin H chain gene (2000 counts/μl). Twenty μl of the reaction mixture were loaded onto a 10% acrylamide/Tris borate EDTA (89 mm Tris, 89 mm boric acid, 10 mm EDTA, pH 8.0 gel, run at 200 V for 2 h, then the gel was dried and exposed for autoradiography. A single band was observed, which could be competed out by addition of 10-fold excess of cold IRE probe (data not shown). Aconitase Activity Assay—Mitochondrial and cytosolic aconitase activities were assayed jointly in whole-fly extracts after electrophoretic separation. Thirty adult males were homogenized in 120 μl of extraction buffer (0.6 mm MnCl2, 2 mm citric acid, 50 mm Tris-HCl, pH 8.0) and centrifuged at 16,000 × g. Aliquots were electrophoresed on Sepraphore III membranes (Pall).
