Nitric oxide (NO) reprograms macrophage metabolism by targeting mitochondrial aconitase 2 and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), and this study shows that lipoate is used to generate nitroxyl (HNO) in this process. Lipoate facilitates NO-mediated production of HNO, which forms irreversible modifications on proteins, including PDH E2-associated lipoate.
M1 macrophages enter a glycolytic state when endogenous nitric oxide (NO) reprograms mitochondrial metabolism by limiting aconitase 2 and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activity. Here, we provide evidence that NO targets the PDH complex by using lipoate to generate nitroxyl (HNO). PDH E2-associated lipoate is modified in NO-rich macrophages while the PDH E3 enzyme, also known as dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DLD), is irreversibly inhibited. Mechanistically, we show that lipoate facilitates NO-mediated production of HNO, which interacts with thiols forming irreversible modifications including sulfinamide. In addition, we reveal a macrophage signature of proteins with reduction-resistant modifications, including in DLD, and identify potential HNO targets. Consistently, DLD enzyme is modified in an HNO-dependent manner at Cys(477) and Cys(484), and molecular modeling and mutagenesis show these modifications impair the formation of DLD homodimers. In conclusion, our work demonstrates that HNO is produced physiologically. Moreover, the production of HNO is dependent on the lipoate-rich PDH complex facilitating irreversible modifications that are critical to NO-dependent metabolic rewiring. Nitric oxide has been shown to target mitochondrial aconitase 2 and pyruvate dehydrogenase to reprogramme macrophage metabolism. Here, the authors extend these findings to show that lipoate is used to generate nitroxyl in this process.
