Abstract:

Alanine aminotransferase (AlaAT, EC 2.6.1.2) and glycine aminotransferase (GlyAT, EC 2.6.1.4), two different enzymes catalyzing transamination reactions with L-alanine as the amino-acid substrate, were examined in maize in which alanine participates substantially in nitrogen transport. Preparative PAGE of a partially purified preparation of aminotransferases from maize leaves gave 6 fractions differing in electrophoretic mobility. The fastest migrating fraction I represents AlaAT specific for L-alanine as amino donor and 2-oxoglutarate as amino acceptor. The remaining fractions showed three aminotransferase activities: L-alanine-2-oxoglutarate, L-alanine-glyoxylate and L-glutamate-glyoxylate. By means of molecular sieving on Zorbax SE-250 two groups of enzymes were distinguished in the PAGE fractions: of about 100 kDa and 50 kDa. Molecular mass of 104 kDa was ascribed to AlaAT in fraction I, while the molecular mass of the three enzymatic activities in 3 fractions of the low electrophoretic mobility was about 50 kDa. The response of these fractions to: aminooxyacetate, 3-chloro-L-alanine and competing amino acids prompted us to suggest that five out of the six preparative PAGE fractions represented GlyAT isoforms, differing from each other by the L-glutamate-glyoxylate:L-alanine-glyoxylate:L-alanine-2-oxoglutarate activity ratio.

Abstract:

Hyperoxaluria, excessive urinary oxalate excretion, is a significant health problem worldwide. Disrupted oxalate metabolism has been implicated in hyperoxaluria and accordingly, an enzymatic disturbance in oxalate biosynthesis can result in the primary hyperoxaluria. Alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase-1 and glyoxylate reductase, the enzymes involving glyoxylate (precursor for oxalate) metabolism, have been related to primary hyperoxalurias. Some studies suggest that other enzymes such as glycolate oxidase and alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase-2 might be associated with primary hyperoxaluria as well, but evidence of a definitive link is not strong between the clinical cases and gene mutations. There are still some idiopathic hyperoxalurias, which require a further study for the etiologies. Some aminotransferases, particularly kynurenine aminotransferases, can convert glyoxylate to glycine. Based on biochemical and structural characteristics, expression level, and subcellular localization of some aminotransferases, a number of them appear able to catalyze the transamination of glyoxylate to glycine more efficiently than alanine glyoxylate aminotransferase-1. The aim of this minireview is to explore other undermining causes of primary hyperoxaluria and stimulate research toward achieving a comprehensive understanding of underlying mechanisms leading to the disease. Herein, we reviewed all aminotransferases in the liver for their functions in glyoxylate metabolism. Particularly, kynurenine aminotransferase-I and III were carefully discussed regarding their biochemical and structural characteristics, cellular localization, and enzyme inhibition. Kynurenine aminotransferase-III is, so far, the most efficient putative mitochondrial enzyme to transaminate glyoxylate to glycine in mammalian livers, which might be an interesting enzyme to look for in hyperoxaluria etiology of primary hyperoxaluria and should be carefully investigated for its involvement in oxalate metabolism.

Abstract:

Alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase catalyzes the transamination between L-alanine and glyoxylate to produce pyruvate and glycine using pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) as cofactor. Human alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase is a peroxisomal enzyme expressed in the hepatocytes, the main site of glyoxylate detoxification. Its deficit causes primary hyperoxaluria type I, a rare but severe inborn error of metabolism. Single amino acid changes are the main type of mutation causing this disease, and considerable effort has been dedicated to the understanding of the molecular consequences of such missense mutations. In this review, we summarize the role of protein homeostasis in the basic mechanisms of primary hyperoxaluria. Intrinsic physicochemical properties of polypeptide chains such as thermodynamic stability, folding, unfolding, and misfolding rates as well as the interaction of different folding states with protein homeostasis networks are essential to understand this disease. The view presented has important implications for the development of new therapeutic strategies based on targeting specific elements of alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase homeostasis.

Abstract:

PH1 (primary hyperoxaluria type 1) is a severe inborn disorder of glyoxylate metabolism caused by a functional deficiency of the peroxisomal enzyme AGXT (alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase), which converts glyoxylate into glycine using L-alanine as the amino-group donor. Even though pre-genomic studies indicate that other human transaminases can convert glyoxylate into glycine, in PH1 patients these enzymes are apparently unable to compensate for the lack of AGXT, perhaps due to their limited levels of expression, their localization in an inappropriate cell compartment or the scarcity of the required amino-group donor. In the present paper, we describe the cloning of eight human cytosolic aminotransferases, their recombinant expression as His6-tagged proteins and a comparative study on their ability to transaminate glyoxylate, using any standard amino acid as an amino-group donor. To selectively quantify the glycine formed, we have developed and validated an assay based on bacterial GO (glycine oxidase); this assay allows the detection of enzymes that produce glycine by transamination in the presence of mixtures of potential amino-group donors and without separation of the product from the substrates. We show that among the eight enzymes tested, only GPT (alanine transaminase) and PSAT1 (phosphoserine aminotransferase 1) can transaminate glyoxylate with good efficiency, using L-glutamate (and, for GPT, also L-alanine) as the best amino-group donor. These findings confirm that glyoxylate transamination can occur in the cytosol, in direct competition with the conversion of glyoxylate into oxalate. The potential implications for the treatment of primary hyperoxaluria are discussed.

Abstract:

Alanine: glyoxylate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.44), which is involved in the glyoxylate pathway of glycine and serine biosynthesis from tricarboxylic acid-cycle intermediates in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was highly purified and characterized. The enzyme had Mr about 80 000, with two identical subunits. It was highly specific for L-alanine and glyoxylate and contained pyridoxal 5′-phosphate as cofactor. The apparent Km values were 2.1 mM and 0.7 mM for L-alanine and glyoxylate respectively. The activity was low (10 nmol/min per mg of protein) with glucose as sole carbon source, but was remarkably high with ethanol or acetate as carbon source (930 and 430 nmol/min per mg respectively). The transamination of glyoxylate is mainly catalysed by this enzyme in ethanol-grown cells. When glucose-grown cells were incubated in medium containing ethanol as sole carbon source, the activity markedly increased, and the increase was completely blocked by cycloheximide, suggesting that the enzyme is synthesized de novo during the incubation period. Similarity in the amino acid composition was observed, but immunological cross-reactivity was not observed among alanine: glyoxylate aminotransferases from yeast and vertebrate liver.

Abstract:

We have developed a sensitive assay for the measurement of alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.44) activity in human liver. The assay is partly automated, and takes into consideration the sensitivity of the reaction to pH and to glyoxylate concentration. It is less subject to interference from other enzymes utilizing glyoxylate and to chemical interference from glyoxylate itself and can therefore be used without correction for cross-over by glutamate:glyoxylate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.4). The assay allows clear discrimination between normal and affected livers and is sufficiently sensitive to measure enzyme activity in fetal liver samples. Enzyme activity ranged from 17·9 to 38·5 μmol/h/mg protein in control livers ( n = 9) and 0·8 to 9·5 μmol/h/mg protein in 30 of 39 hyperoxaluric patients studied. Normal alanine: glyoxylate aminotransferase activity (from 22·8 to 45·5 μmol/h/mg protein) allowed exclusion of primary hyperoxaluria type 1 in the other nine hyperoxaluric patients.

"l-Alanine–glyoxylate aminotransferase II of rat kidney and liver mitochondria possesses cysteine S-conjugate β-lyase activity: a contributing factor to the nephrotoxicity/hepatotoxicity of halogenated alkenes?"

Abstract:

Several halogenated alkenes are metabolized in part to cysteine S-conjugates, which are mitochondrial toxicants of kidney and, to a lesser extent, other organs. Toxicity is due to cysteine S-conjugate β-lyases, which convert the cysteine S-conjugate into pyruvate, ammonia and a reactive sulphur-containing fragment. A section of the human population is exposed to halogenated alkenes. To understand the health effects of such exposure, it is important to identify cysteine S-conjugate β-lyases that contribute to mitochondrial damage. Mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase [Cooper, Bruschi, Iriarte and Martinez-Carrion (2002) Biochem. J. 368, 253–261] and mitochondrial branched-chain aminotransferase [Cooper, Bruschi, Conway and Hutson (2003) Biochem. Pharmacol. 65, 181–192] exhibit β-lyase activity toward S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl)-l-cysteine (the cysteine S-conjugate of trichloroethylene) and S-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl)-l-cysteine (the cysteine S-conjugate of tetrafluoroethylene). Turnover leads to eventual inactivation of these enzymes. Here we report that mitochondrial l-alanine–glyoxylate aminotransferase II, which, in the rat, is most active in kidney, catalyses cysteine S-conjugate β-lyase reactions with S-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl)-l-cysteine, S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl)-l-cysteine and S-(benzothiazolyl-l-cysteine); turnover leads to inactivation. Previous workers showed that the reactive-sulphur-containing fragment released from S-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl)-l-cysteine and S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl)-l-cysteine is toxic by acting as a thioacylating agent – particularly of lysine residues in nearby proteins. Toxicity, however, may also involve ‘self-inactivation’ of key enzymes. The present findings suggest that alanine–glyoxylate aminotransferase II may be an important factor in the well-established targeting of rat kidney mitochondria by toxic halogenated cysteine S-conjugates. Previous reports suggest that alanine–glyoxylate aminotransferase II is absent in some humans, but present in others. Alanine–glyoxylate aminotransferase II may contribute to the bioactivation (toxification) of halogenated cysteine S-conjugates in a subset of individuals exposed to halogenated alkenes.

Abstract:

Elevated levels of circulating asymmetric and symmetric dimethylarginines (ADMA and SDMA) predict and potentially contribute to end organ damage in cardiovascular diseases. Alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase 2 (AGXT2) regulates systemic levels of ADMA and SDMA, and also of beta-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIB)-a modulator of lipid metabolism. We identified a putative binding site for hepatic nuclear factor 4 α (HNF4α) in AGXT2 promoter sequence. In a luciferase reporter assay we found a 75% decrease in activity of Agxt2 core promoter after disruption of the HNF4α binding site. Direct binding of HNF4α to Agxt2 promoter was confirmed by chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. siRNA-mediated knockdown of Hnf4a led to an almost 50% reduction in Agxt2 mRNA levels in Hepa 1–6 cells. Liver-specific Hnf4a knockout mice exhibited a 90% decrease in liver Agxt2 expression and activity, and elevated plasma levels of ADMA, SDMA and BAIB, compared to wild-type littermates. Thus we identified HNF4α as a major regulator of Agxt2 expression. Considering a strong association between human HNF4A polymorphisms and increased risk of type 2 diabetes our current findings suggest that downregulation of AGXT2 and subsequent impairment in metabolism of dimethylarginines and BAIB caused by HNF4α deficiency might contribute to development of cardiovascular complications in diabetic patients.
