Instability of Superoxide Dismutase 1 of Drosophila in Mutants Deficient for Its Cognate Copper Chaperone

Copper,zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) in mammals is activated principally via a copper chaperone (CCS) and to a lesser degree by a CCS-independent pathway of unknown nature. In this study, we have characterized the requirement for CCS in activating SOD1 from Drosophila. A CCS-null mutant (Ccsn29E) of Drosophila was created and found to phenotypically resemble Drosophila SOD1-null mutants in terms of reduced adult life span, hypersensitivity to oxidative stress, and loss of cytosolic aconitase activity. However, the phenotypes of CCS-null flies were less severe, consistent with some CCS-independent activation of Drosophila SOD1 (dSOD1). Yet SOD1 activity was not detectable in Ccsn29E flies, due largely to a striking loss of SOD1 protein. In contrast, human SOD1 expressed in CCS-null flies is robustly active and rescues the deficits in adult life span and sensitivity to oxidative stress. The dependence of dSOD1 on CCS was also observed in a yeast expression system where the dSOD1 polypeptide exhibited unusual instability in CCS-null (ccs1Δ) yeast. The residual dSOD1 polypeptide in ccs1Δ yeast was nevertheless active, consistent with CCS-independent activation. Stability of dSOD1 in ccs1Δ cells was readily restored by expression of either yeast or Drosophila CCS, and this required copper insertion into the enzyme. The yeast expression system also revealed some species specificity for CCS. Yeast SOD1 exhibits preference for yeast CCS over Drosophila CCS, whereas dSOD1 is fully activated with either CCS molecule. Such variation in mechanisms of copper activation of SOD1 could reflect evolutionary responses to unique oxygen and/or copper environments faced by divergent species.

The cell must strictly limit concentrations of free copper, while simultaneously ensuring efficient delivery of copper to the SOD1 apoprotein. Copper is inserted into the SOD1 apoprotein by a specific chaperone, the copper chaperone for SOD1 (CCS). Initially identified in yeast as the protein product of the LYS7 gene (1Culotta V.C.

Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase Mn superoxide dismutase cytoplasmic aconitase copper chaperone for Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase Drosophila SOD1 Drosophila CCS human SOD1 mitochondrial aconitase tetramethylethylenediamine yeast CCS 6-hydroxydopamine CCS is composed of three separate protein domains that function in concert to activate SOD1 with copper (see Fig. 1B). At the N terminus of CCS, domain I resembles the ATX1 family of copper chaperones that harbor the well conserved CXXC Cu(I)-binding motif. The central domain II of CCS has significant homology to SOD1 and is important for forming a CCS-SOD1 heterodimer-docked complex as a prerequisite to copper transfer. Finally the C-terminal domain III contains a critical CXC copper-binding site that inserts copper and oxidizes the intramolecular disulfide in SOD1 (3Culotta V.C. Yang M. O'Halloran T.V. Biochim. Biophys. Acta. 2006; 1763: 747-758Crossref PubMed Scopus (420) Google Scholar, 4Schmidt P.J. Rae T.D. Pufahl R.A. Hamma T. Strain J. O'Halloran T.V. Culotta V.C. J. Biol. Chem. 1999; 274: 23719-23725Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (163) Google Scholar). In many models domain I and domain III cysteines together coordinate a copper ion (5Eisses J.F. Stasser J.P. Ralle M. Kaplan J.H. Blackburn N.J. Biochemistry. 2000; 39: 7337-7342Crossref PubMed Scopus (55) Google Scholar, 6Zhu H. Shipp E. Sanchez R.J. Liba A. Stine J.E. Hart P.J. Gralla E.B. Nersissian A.M. Valentine J.S. Biochemistry. 2000; 39: 5413-5421Crossref PubMed Scopus (53) Google Scholar), although the role of domain I cysteines in SOD1 activation in vivo is uncertain. In addition to CCS, SOD1 can be activated by a so-called CCS-independent pathway that is currently of unknown nature but requires reduced GSH (7Carroll M.C. Girouard J.B. Ulloa J.L. Subramaniam J.R. Wong P.C. Valentine J.S. Culotta V.C. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 2004; 101: 5964-5969Crossref PubMed Scopus (156) Google Scholar). The mode of copper activation (CCS versus CCS-independent) can vary among different organisms. For example, the SOD1 of bakers' yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is totally dependent on CCS for activation, whereas that of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans only acquires copper through the CCS-independent pathway (8Jensen L.T. Culotta V.C. J. Biol. Chem. 2005; 280: 41373-41379Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (79) Google Scholar). In fact, C. elegans lacks an obvious CCS-encoding gene. Mammals express a CCS that is homologous to that of yeast, but mammalian SOD1 can acquire copper by either pathway (7Carroll M.C. Girouard J.B. Ulloa J.L. Subramaniam J.R. Wong P.C. Valentine J.S. Culotta V.C. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 2004; 101: 5964-5969Crossref PubMed Scopus (156) Google Scholar, 9Corson L.B. Strain J.J. Culotta V.C. Cleveland D.W. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S.

CCS-encoding genes have been identified in a wide array of metazoans, yet the biology of CCS from nonmammalian metazoans has not been investigated. The invertebrate, Drosophila melanogaster, has provided an ideal organism in which to explore the role of SOD1 in development, survival, and aging. Mutant Drosophila lacking SOD1 survive well as embryos and larvae but experience high rates of mortality as late pupae and early adults. Surviving adults exhibit a median life span about 10! of normal, severely reduced fertility, hypersensitivity to a variety of oxidative stress conditions (10Phillips J.P. Campbell S.D. Michaud D. Charbonneau M. Hilliker A.J. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 1989; 86: 2761-2765Crossref PubMed Scopus (310) Google Scholar), retinal degeneration (11Phillips J.P. Tainer J.A. Getzoff E.D.

Genome. 2004; 47: 1029-1035Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). The high rate of early mortality in SOD1-null mutants is related to a general pattern of premature aging as reflected by the precocious onset and rapid progression of patterns of marker gene expression that typify normal senescence (13Rogina B. Helfand S.L. Biogerontology. 2000; 1: 163-169Crossref PubMed Scopus (32) Google Scholar). Clearly, SOD1 plays a critical role in the biology and life history of Drosophila, but the biochemistry of the maturation process for this critical enzyme has not been explored. Here we describe a single CCS-encoding gene from Drosophila and the biological and biochemical consequences of losing the copper chaperone for SOD1.
