Emerging Moonlighting Functions of the Branched-Chain Aminotransferase Proteins.

Abstract:

: Significance: Unique to the branched-chain aminotransferase (BCAT) proteins is their redox-active CXXC motif. Subjected to post-translational modification by reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species, these proteins have the potential to adopt numerous cellular roles, which may be fundamental to their role in oncogenesis and neurodegenerative diseases. An understanding of the interplay of the redox regulation of BCAT with important cell signaling mechanisms will identify new targets for future therapeutics. Recent Advances: The BCAT proteins have been assigned novel thiol oxidoreductase activity that can accelerate the refolding of proteins, in particular when S-glutathionylated, supporting a chaperone role for BCAT in protein folding. Other metabolic proteins were also shown to have peroxide-mediated redox associations with BCAT, indicating that the cellular function of BCAT is more diverse. Critical Issues: While the role of branched-chain amino acid metabolism and its metabolites has dominated aspects of cancer research, less is known about the role of BCAT. The importance of the CXXC motif in regulating the BCAT activity under hypoxic conditions, a characteristic of tumors, has not been addressed. Understanding how these proteins operate under various cellular redox conditions will become important, in particular with respect to their moonlighting roles. Future Directions: Advances in the quantification of thiols, their measurement, and the manipulation of metabolons that rely on redox-based interactions should accelerate the investigation of the cellular role of moonlighting proteins such as BCAT. Given the importance of cross talk between signaling pathways, research should focus more on these "housekeeping" proteins paying attention to their wider application.
