Role of aspartate aminotransferase and mitochondrial dicarboxylate transport for release of endogenously and exogenously supplied neurotransmitter in glutamatergic neurons
Tóm tắt
Evoked release of glutamate and aspartate from cultured cerebellar granule cells was studied after preincubation of the cells in tissue culture medium with glucose (6.5 mM), glutamine (1.0 mM),d[3H] aspartate and in some cases aminooxyacetate (5.0 mM) or phenylsuccinate (5.0 mM). The release of endogenous amino acids and ofd-[3H] aspartate was measured under physiological and depolarizing (56 mM KCl) conditions both in the presence and absence of calcium (1.0 mM), glutamine (1.0 mM), aminooxyacetate (5.0 mM) and phenylsuccinate (5.0 mM). The cellular content of glutamate and aspartate was also determined. Of the endogenous amino acids only glutamate was released in a transmitter fashion and newly synthesized glutamate was released preferentially to exogenously suppliedd-[3H] aspartate, a marker for exogenous glutamate. Evoked release of endogenous glutamate was reduced or completely abolished by respectively, aminooxyacetate and phenylsuccinate. In contrast, the release ofd-[3H] aspartate was increased reflecting an unaffected release of exogenous glutamate and an increased “psuedospecific radioactivity” of the glutamate transmitter pool. Since aminooxyacetate and phenylsuccinate inhibit respectively aspartate aminotransferase and mitochondrial keto-dicarboxylic acid transport it is concluded that replenishment of the glutamate transmitter pool from glutamine, formed in the mitochondrial compartment by the action of glutaminase requires the simultaneous operation of mitochondrial keto-dicarboxylic acid transport and aspartate aminotransferase which is localized both intra- and extra-mitochondrially. The purpose of the latter enzyme apparently is to catalyze both intra- and extra-mitochondrial transamination of α-ketoglutarate which is formed intramitochondrially from the glutamate carbon skeleton and transferred across the mitochondrial membrane to the cytosol where transmitter glutamate is formed. This cytoplasmic origin of transmitter glutamate is in aggreement with the finding thatd-[3H] aspartate readily labels the transmitter pool even when synthesis of endogenous transmitter is impaired in the presence of AOAA or phenylsuccinate.
