Tricarboxylate transport protein, mitochondrial, also known as tricarboxylate carrier protein and citrate transport protein (CTP), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC25A1 gene. [3] [4] [5] [6] SLC25A1 belongs to the mitochondrial carrier gene family SLC25. [7] [8] [9] High levels of the tricarboxylate transport protein are found in the liver, pancreas and kidney. Lower or no levels are present in the brain, heart, skeletal muscle, placenta and lung. [7] [9]

The tricarboxylate transport protein is located within the inner mitochondria membrane. It provides a link between the mitochondrial matrix and cytosol by transporting citrate through the impermeable inner mitochondrial membrane in exchange for malate from the cytosol. [7] [8] [9] [10] The citrate transported out of the mitochondrial matrix by the tricarboxylate transport protein is catalyzed by citrate lyase to acetyl CoA, the starting material for fatty acid biosynthesis, and oxaloacetate. [8] As well, cytosolic NADPH + H+ necessary for fatty acid biosynthesis is generated in the reduction of oxaloacetate to malate and pyruvate by malate dehydrogenase and the malic enzyme. [9] [11] [12] For these reasons, the tricarboxylate transport protein is considered to play a key role in fatty acid synthesis. [8]

The structure of the tricarboxylate transport protein is consistent with the structures of other mitochondrial carriers. [7] [8] [10] In particular, the tricarboxylate transport protein has a tripartite structure consisting of three repeated domains that are approximately 100 amino acids in length. [7] [10] Each repeat forms a transmembrane domain consisting of two hydrophobic α-helices. [7] [8] [13] The amino and carboxy termini are located on the cytosolic side of the inner mitochondrial membrane. [7] [8] Each domain is linked by two hydrophilic loops located on the cytosolic side of the membrane. [7] [8] [13] [14] The two α-helices of each repeated domain are connected by hydrophilic loops located on the matrix side of the membrane. [7] [8] [14] A salt bridge network is present on both the matrix side and cytoplasmic side of the tricarboxylate transport protein. [14]

Transport mechanism

The tricarboxylate transport protein exists in two states: a cytoplasmic state where it accepts malate from the cytoplasm and a matrix state where it accepts citrate from the mitochondrial matrix. [15] A single binding site is present near the center of the cavity of the tricarboxylate transport protein, which can be either exposed to the cytosol or the mitochondrial matrix depending on the state. [13] [14] [15] A substrate induced conformational change occurs when citrate enters from the matrix side and binds to the central cavity of the tricarboxylate transport protein. [7] This conformational change opens a gate on the cytosolic side and closes the gate on the matrix side. [7] Likewise, when malate enters from the cytosolic side, the matrix gate opens and the cytosolic gate closes. [7] Each side of the transporter is open and closed by the disruption and formation of the salt bridge networks, which allows access to the single binding site. [13] [14] [15] [16] [17]

Disease relevance

Mutations in this gene have been associated with the inborn error of metabolism combined D-2- and L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria, [18] which was the first reported case of a pathogenic mutation of the SLC25A1 gene. [14] [19] Patients with D-2/L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria display neonatal onset metabolic encephalopathy, infantile epilepsy, global developmental delay, muscular hypotonia and early death. [14] [19] [20] It is believed low levels of citrate in the cytosol and high levels of citrate in the mitochondria caused by the impaired citrate transport plays a role in the disease. [14] [20] In addition, increased expression of the tricarboxylate transport protein has been linked to cancer [9] [21] [22] and the production of inflammatory mediators. [23] [24] [25] Therefore, it has been suggested that inhibition of the tricarboxylate transport protein may have a therapeutic effect in chronic inflammation diseases and cancer. [24]

In the mitochondrion, the matrix is the space within the inner membrane. The word "matrix" stems from the fact that this space is viscous, compared to the relatively aqueous cytoplasm. The mitochondrial matrix contains the mitochondrial DNA, ribosomes, soluble enzymes, small organic molecules, nucleotide cofactors, and inorganic ions.[1] The enzymes in the matrix facilitate reactions responsible for the production of ATP, such as the citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, oxidation of pyruvate, and the beta oxidation of fatty acids.

Mitochondrial membrane transport proteins, also known as mitochondrial carrier proteins, are proteins which exist in the membranes of mitochondria. They serve to transport molecules and other factors, such as ions, into or out of the organelles. Mitochondria contain both an inner and outer membrane, separated by the inter-membrane space, or inner boundary membrane. The outer membrane is porous, whereas the inner membrane restricts the movement of all molecules. The two membranes also vary in membrane potential and pH. These factors play a role in the function of mitochondrial membrane transport proteins. There are 53 discovered human mitochondrial membrane transporters, with many others that are known to still need discovered.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Glycerol phosphate shuttle</span>

The glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle is a mechanism used in skeletal muscle and the brain that regenerates NAD+ from NADH, a by-product of glycolysis. The NADH generated during glycolysis is found in the cytoplasm and must be transported into the mitochondria to enter the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. However, the inner mitochondrial membrane is impermeable to NADH and NAD+ and does not contain a transport system for these electron carriers. Either the glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle pathway or the malate-aspartate shuttle pathway, depending on the tissue of the organism, must be taken to transport cytoplasmic NADH into the mitochondria. The shuttle consists of the sequential activity of two proteins; Cytoplasmic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (cGPD) transfers an electron pair from NADH to dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP), forming glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) and regenerating NAD+ needed to generate energy via glycolysis. The other protein, mitochondrial glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (mGPD) catalyzes the oxidation of G3P by FAD, regenerating DHAP in the cytosol and forming FADH2 in the mitochondrial matrix. In mammals, its activity in transporting reducing equivalents across the mitochondrial membrane is considered secondary to the malate-aspartate shuttle.

Outside this role, the SLC25AC31 gene has not been implicated in any human disease.

Pyruvate cycling commonly refers to an intracellular loop of spatial movements and chemical transformations involving pyruvate. Spatial movements occur between mitochondria and cytosol and chemical transformations create various Krebs cycle intermediates. In all variants, pyruvate is imported into the mitochondrion for processing through part of the Krebs cycle. In addition to pyruvate, alpha-ketoglutarate may also be imported. At various points, the intermediate product is exported to the cytosol for additional transformations and then re-imported. Three specific pyruvate cycles are generally considered, each named for the principal molecule exported from the mitochondrion: malate, citrate, and isocitrate. Other variants may exist, such as dissipative or "futile" pyruvate cycles.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Citrate–malate shuttle</span>

The citrate-malate shuttle is a series of chemical reactions, commonly referred to as a biochemical cycle or system, that transports acetyl-CoA in the mitochondrial matrix across the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes for fatty acid synthesis. Mitochondria are enclosed in a double membrane. As the inner mitochondrial membrane is impermeable to acetyl-CoA, the shuttle system is essential to fatty acid synthesis in the cytosol. It plays an important role in the generation of lipids in the liver.
