Abstract
This study aimed to identify the target proteins of 16:0/16:0-phosphatidic acid (PA), which is produced by diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) α, δ, and ζ. We identified phosphoglycerate mutase 1 (PGAM1), a key glycolytic enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 3-phosphoglycerate to 2-phosphoglycerate, as a PA-binding protein with a stronger affinity for PA than for other phospholipids, including phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, cardiolipin, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, and sphingomyelin. PGAM1 preferentially binds to saturated fatty acid (SFA)- and/or monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA)-containing PAs, such as 16:0/16:0-, 16:0/18:1-, 18:0/18:0-, 18:0/18:1-, and 18:1/18:1-PA, compared to polyunsaturated fatty acid-containing PAs, such as 18:0/20:4- and 18:0/22:6-PA. Notably, 16:0/16:0- and 16:0/18:1-PA altered the secondary conformation of PGAM1 and substantially enhanced its activity. Interestingly, PGAM1 interacted with DGKδ and ζ, but not with DGKα. These findings indicate that SFA- and/or MUFA-containing-PAs selectively interact with PGAM1, a promising therapeutic target for cancer, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and senescence, to regulate its activity.
期刊介绍:
Open access, online only, peer-reviewed international journal in the Life Sciences, established in 2014 Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports (BB Reports) publishes original research in all aspects of Biochemistry, Biophysics and related areas like Molecular and Cell Biology. BB Reports welcomes solid though more preliminary, descriptive and small scale results if they have the potential to stimulate and/or contribute to future research, leading to new insights or hypothesis. Primary criteria for acceptance is that the work is original, scientifically and technically sound and provides valuable knowledge to life sciences research. We strongly believe all results deserve to be published and documented for the advancement of science. BB Reports specifically appreciates receiving reports on: Negative results, Replication studies, Reanalysis of previous datasets.
