In fibroblasts, large Ca transients activate massive endocytosis (MEND) that involves membrane protein palmitoylation subsequent to mitochondrial permeability transition pore (PTP) openings. Here, we characterize this pathway in cardiac muscle. Myocytes with increased expression of the acyl transferase, DHHC5, have decreased Na/K pump activity. In DHHC5-deficient myocytes, Na/K pump activity and surface area/volume ratios are increased, the palmitoylated regulatory protein, phospholemman (PLM), and the cardiac Na/Ca exchanger (NCX1) show greater surface membrane localization, and MEND is inhibited in four protocols. Both electrical and optical methods demonstrate that PTP-dependent MEND occurs during reoxygenation of anoxic hearts. Post-anoxia MEND is ablated in DHHC5-deficient hearts, inhibited by cyclosporine A (CsA) and adenosine, promoted by staurosporine (STS), reduced in hearts lacking PLM, and correlates with impaired post-anoxia contractile function. Thus, the MEND pathway appears to be deleterious in severe oxidative stress but may constitutively contribute to cardiac sarcolemma turnover in dependence on metabolic stress.

Much of this damage can be caused by the mitochondria inside the cells releasing a protein called cytochrome c that can cause cells to die in a process called apoptosis. The cytochrome c is released as the outer membrane of the mitochondria becomes permeable and pores called permeability transition pores open up in the inner membrane. Now Lin et al. explore if additional molecules released from the mitochondria might also initiate important cellular responses during the reoxygenation of oxygen-deprived tissue. Lin and co-workers recently showed that the mitochondria of some cells can release a small enzyme cofactor, coenzyme A, which then promotes a cellular response called massive endocytosis. This process can cause up to 70% of the cell surface membrane to be absorbed into the interior of the cell in the form of membrane vesicles. Most forms of endocytosis involve a much smaller fraction of the cell membrane and employ a set of well-known endocytic proteins that are not involved in massive endocytosis. Now, Lin et al. investigate the role of massive endocytosis in cardiac muscle. Electrical and optical measurements reveal that massive endocytosis occurs as cardiac cells that have been deprived of oxygen are reoxygenated. Lin et al. also find that an enzyme called DHHC5 must be present to allow endocytosis to take place during reoxygenation. DHHC5 is an enzyme that catalyzes a process called acylation – the transfer of acyl groups to proteins at the cell surface. Moreover, the deletion of DHHC5 has a beneficial impact on the performance of cardiac muscle after oxygen deprivation, which implies that molecules that inhibit protein acylation might protect the heart from damage during reoxygenation. Together, these results establish new pathological and physiological roles for the acylation, which is one of the most common biochemical modifications made to membrane proteins after they are synthesized.
