Signalling Molecule

Soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) is a HC O 3   − -stimulated enzyme that produces the ubiquitous signalling molecule cAMP, and deemed an evolutionarily conserved acid–base sensor. However, its presence is not yet confirmed in bony fishes, the most abundant and diverse of vertebrates. Here, we identified sAC genes in various cartilaginous, ray-finned and lobe-finned fish species. Next, we focused on rainbow trout sAC (rtsAC) and identified 20 potential alternative spliced mRNAs coding for protein isoforms ranging in size from 28 to 186 kDa. Biochemical and kinetic analyses on purified recombinant rtsAC protein determined stimulation by HC O 3   − at physiologically relevant levels for fish internal fluids (EC 50 ∼ 7 mM). rtsAC activity was sensitive to KH7, LRE1, and DIDS (established inhibitors of sAC from other organisms), and insensitive to forskolin and 2,5-dideoxyadenosine (modulators of transmembrane adenylyl cyclases). Western blot and immunocytochemistry revealed high rtsAC expression in gill ion-transporting cells, hepatocytes, red blood cells, myocytes and cardiomyocytes. Analyses in the cell line RTgill-W1 suggested that some of the longer rtsAC isoforms may be preferentially localized in the nucleus, the Golgi apparatus and podosomes. These results indicate that sAC is poised to mediate multiple acid–base homeostatic responses in bony fishes, and provide cues about potential novel functions in mammals.

Soluble Adenylyl Cyclase

Blood acid-base regulation by specialized epithelia, such as gills and kidney, requires the ability to sense blood acid-base status. Here, we developed primary cultures of ray ( Urolophus halleri) gill cells to study mechanisms for acid-base sensing without the interference of whole animal hormonal regulation. Ray gills have abundant base-secreting cells, identified by their noticeable expression of vacuolar-type H+-ATPase (VHA), and also express the evolutionarily conserved acid-base sensor soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC). Exposure of cultured cells to extracellular alkalosis (pH 8.0, 40 mM HCO3−) triggered VHA translocation to the cell membrane, similar to previous reports in live animals experiencing blood alkalosis. VHA translocation was dependent on sAC, as it was blocked by the sAC-specific inhibitor KH7. Ray gill base-secreting cells also express transmembrane adenylyl cyclases (tmACs); however, tmAC inhibition by 2′,5′-dideoxyadenosine did not prevent alkalosis-dependent VHA translocation, and tmAC activation by forskolin reduced the abundance of VHA at the cell membrane. This study demonstrates that sAC is a necessary and sufficient sensor of extracellular alkalosis in ray gill base-secreting cells. In addition, this study indicates that different sources of cAMP differentially modulate cell biology.

A novel Citrobacter species was isolated from the kidney of diseased rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) reared on a trout farm. Biochemical characterization and phylogenetic analysis were performed for bacterial identification. Sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene and five housekeeping genes indicated that the strain belongs to the Citrobacter genus. However, multilocus sequence analysis, a comparison of average nucleotide identity, and genome-to-genome distance values revealed that strain SNU WT2 is distinct and forms a separate clade from other Citrobacter species. Additionally, the phenotype characteristics of the strain differed from those of other Citrobacter species. Quinone analysis indicated that the predominant isoprenoid quinone is Q-10. Furthermore, strain virulence was determined by a rainbow trout challenge trial, and the strain showed resistance to diverse antibiotics including β-lactams, quinolone, and aminoglycosides. The complete genome of strain SNU WT2 is 4,840,504 bp with a DNA G + C content of 51.94% and 106,068-bp plasmid. Genome analysis revealed that the strain carries virulence factors on its chromosome and antibiotic resistance genes on its plasmid. This strain represents a novel species in the genus Citrobacter for which the name C. tructae has been proposed, with SNU WT2 (=KCTC 72517 = JCM 33612) as the type strain.

AbstractCyclic AMP is produced in cells by two very different types of adenylyl cyclases: the canonical transmembrane adenylyl cyclases (tmACs, ADCY1∼9) and the evolutionarily more conserved soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC, ADCY10). While the role and regulation of tmACs is well documented, much less is known of sAC in cellular metabolism. We demonstrate here that sAC is an acute regulator of glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation and glycogen metabolism, tuning their relative bioenergetic contributions. Suppression of sAC activity leads to aerobic glycolysis, enhanced glycogenolysis, decreased oxidative phosphorylation, and an elevated cytosolic NADH/NAD+ ratio, resembling the Warburg phenotype. Importantly, we found that glycogen metabolism is regulated in opposite directions by cAMP depending on its location of synthesis and downstream effectors. While the canonical tmAC-cAMP-PKA axis promotes glycogenolysis, we identify a novel sAC-cAMP-Epac1 axis that suppresses glycogenolysis. These data suggest that sAC is an autonomous bioenergetic sensor that suppresses aerobic glycolysis and glycogenolysis when ATP levels suffice. When the ATP level falls, diminished sAC activity induces glycogenolysis and aerobic glycolysis to maintain energy homeostasis.

Acid-base regulation in rainbow trout acclimated to about 3, 100 and 500 mmol l−1 Na+ and Cl−, at constant water [HCO3−], was assessed during 24h of exposure to 1% CO2 and during recovery. The respiratory acidosis induced by a rise in plasma PCOCO2 to about 1.15kPa (8.5mmHg, 3mmol l−1), 1.33kPa (10mmHg, 100 mmol l−1) or 1.5 kPa (11.2 mmHg, 500 mmol l−1) was partially compensated for by accumulation of plasma HCO3−. The degree of pH compensation depended on the salinity of the environmental water, being about 61, 82 and 88% at 3, 100 and 300 mmol l−1 Na+ and Cl−, respectively. [HCO3−] in animals acclimated to 100 and 500 mmol l−1 rose to higher values than that in fish at 3 mmol l−1. Plasma [Cl−] decreased during hypercapnia as compared to control concentrations in all groups of fish. Plasma [Na+] rose during the first 8 h of hypercapnia in fish acclimated to all three salinities, but recovered towards control values during the remainder of hypercapnia. The rise in plasma [HCO3−] was significantly related to the fall in plasma [Cl−], whereas the changes in plasma [Na+] were unaffected by simultaneous changes in plasma [HCO3−]. Time courses of changes in plasma [Na+] and total ammonia concentration, [Tamm], were similar but in opposite directions. The transepithelial potential (TEP) of blood relative to water was negative, close to zero and positive, averaging −21, −5.8 and +6.2 mV for fish acclimated to 3, 100 and 300 mmol l−1 Na+, respectively. After initiation of hypercapnia, which caused a quite heterogeneous response among groups, a clear trend towards depolarization was observed during the remainder of hypercapnia. These results confirm the role of active HCO3−/Cl− exchange processes for the compensation of extracellular pH during respiratory acidoses in fish.

The Wilms' tumor suppressor (WT1) gene plays an important role in the development and functioning of the genitourinary system, and mutations in this gene are associated with nephroblastoma formation in humans. Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is one of the rare animal models that readily form nephroblastomas, yet trout express three distinct WT1 genes, one of which is duplicated and inherited tetrasomically. Sequence analyses suggest an ancient gene duplication in the common ancestor of bony fishes resulted in the formation of two WT1 gene families, that conserve the splicing variations of tetrapod WT1, and a second duplication event occurred in the trout lineage. The WT1 genes of one family map to linkage groups 6 and 27 in the trout genome map. Reverse transcribed polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) expression analysis demonstrated little difference in WT1 tissue expression pattern between genes.Key words: tumor suppressor, nephroblastoma, RT-PCR expression, kidney, cancer, cDNA, gene mapping.

Cell Retraction

Soluble adenylyl cyclase toxins, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa exoY, generate a cAMP pool that retracts cell borders. However, the cytoskeletal basis by which this cAMP signal retracts cell borders is not known. We sought to determine whether activation of chimeric, soluble adenylyl cyclase I/II (sACI/II) reorganizes either microtubules or peripheral actin. Endothelial cells were stably transfected with either green fluorescent protein-labeled α-tubulin or β-actin, and then infected with adenovirus to express sACI/II. Forskolin, which stimulates both the endogenously expressed transmembrane adenylyl cyclases and sACI/II, induced cell retraction accompanied by the reorganization of peripheral microtubules. However, cortical filamentous-actin (f-actin) did not reorganize into stress fibers, and myosin light-chain-20 phosphorylation was decreased. Isoproterenol, which activates endogenous adenylyl cyclases but does not activate sACI/II, did not induce endothelial cell gaps and did not influence microtubule or f-actin architecture. Thus, sACI/II generates a cAMP signal that reorganizes microtubules and induces cell retraction, without inducing f-actin stress fibers. These findings illustrate that endothelial cell gap formation can proceed without f-actin stress fiber formation, and provide mechanistic insight how bacterial adenylyl cyclase toxins reorganize the cytoskeleton to induce cell rounding.
