DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Intracellular manganese ions (Mn) and the enzyme Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) have overlapping roles in oxidative stress protection. While the mechanism of SOD1 action in superoxide detoxification has been well characterized, very little is understood about how cells utilize Mn to suppress oxidative damage independent of SOD enzymes. Recently, using S. cerevisiae as a model organism, we have reported that proper phosphate metabolism is important for suppressing oxidative damage and critical for enabling cells to utilize Mn as an antioxidant. It was found that sod1 null stains engineered to hyperaccumulate phosphate are oxidatively stressed and inviable in air. Preliminary results indicate that high cytoplasmic polyphosphate (PolyP) is responsible for the severity of oxidative damage and phosphate interactions with both Mn and Fe are involved. We hypothesize that PolyP enhances oxidative injury by sequestering Mn and Fe, thereby limiting their availability to the Mn-antioxidant and to essential Fe/S proteins that are susceptible to oxidative injury. The purpose of the current proposal is to test this hypothesis and elucidate the nature of the Mn-antioxidant. In order to determine the role of PolyP in oxidative stress, a series of yeast strains that have altered PolyP metabolism will be engineered. These strains, hereafter referred to as the polyphosphate titratable series (PTS), which will have variations in the size, content, and cellular localization of PolyP, will be exploited to assess the impact of PolyP on various indicators of oxidative stress and on Mn and Fe bioavailability. In the sod1 null background, the PTS strains can be used to determine how PolyP influences Mn-suppression of oxidative damage and Fe availability for repairing damaged Fe/S clusters. Furthermore, we will directly monitor Mn- and Fe-PolyP interactions inside the PTS mutants as a function of oxidative stress resistance by using a newly developed application of ENDOR spectroscopy to whole cells. In toto, these experiments will reveal exactly how polyphosphate influences oxidative stress and the role Mn and Fe play in mediating its toxicity. In addition, the mechanism of Mn suppression of oxidative stress will be determined by employing a high-throughput genetic screen to identify genes that are required for Mn-antioxidant activity. sod1 null yeast will be mutagenized with a transposon library and mutants that exhibit loss of Mn rescue of oxidative damage will be selected. This screen is designed to select for genes that are involved in the metabolism of small molecules that bind and activate Mn for Mn-antioxidant activity. Overall, these studies should provide great insight into the role of phosphate, Mn, and Fe in cellular oxidative stress and the factors that govern Mn suppression of oxidative damage. Studies of this type are at the heart of understanding and perhaps treating the numerous human disorders attributed to oxidative stress. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Damage from oxygen radicals has been linked to a number of human diseases, including reperfusion injury, cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurological degeneration, and aging. Studies into the basic mechanisms of cellular oxidative stress resistance are crucial towards understanding the role of oxygen radicals in disease and to the eventual development of therapeutic strategies. We have recently shown that, in addition to superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes, manganese is critical for sustaining life in atmospheric oxygen. However, very little is understood about how cells utilize Mn as an antioxidant. The purpose of the current investigation is to decipher the mechanism of cellular Mn-antioxidant activity, with a particular emphasis on the interplay between phosphate, Mn and Fe metabolism.

描述（由申请方提供）：细胞内锰离子（Mn）和酶Cu/Zn超氧化物歧化酶（SOD 1）在氧化应激保护中具有重叠作用。虽然SOD 1在超氧化物解毒中的作用机制已经得到了很好的表征，但关于细胞如何利用Mn来抑制不依赖于SOD酶的氧化损伤的了解很少。最近，利用S.作为模式生物，我们已经报道了适当的磷酸盐代谢对于抑制氧化损伤是重要的，并且对于使细胞能够利用Mn作为抗氧化剂是关键的。研究发现，过度积累磷酸盐的sod 1无效菌株在空气中受到氧化应激而不能存活。初步结果表明，高细胞质多磷酸盐（PolyP）是负责氧化损伤的严重性和磷酸盐与锰和铁的相互作用。我们假设，聚磷酸酶通过螯合锰和铁增强氧化损伤，从而限制它们对锰抗氧化剂和对氧化损伤敏感的必需Fe/S蛋白的可用性。本提案的目的是检验这一假设，并阐明锰抗氧化剂的性质。为了确定PolyP在氧化应激中的作用，将工程化一系列改变PolyP代谢的酵母菌株。这些菌株，以下称为聚磷酸盐可滴定系列（PTS），其将具有PolyP的大小，含量和细胞定位的变化，将被用来评估PolyP对氧化应激的各种指标以及对Mn和Fe生物利用度的影响。在sod 1无效背景下，PTS菌株可用于确定PolyP如何影响Mn抑制氧化损伤和Fe可用性以修复受损的Fe/S簇。此外，我们将通过使用新开发的ENDOR光谱法对全细胞的应用，直接监测PTS突变体内部的Mn-和Fe-PolyP相互作用作为抗氧化应激的函数。总之，这些实验将揭示多磷酸盐如何影响氧化应激以及Mn和Fe在介导其毒性中的作用。此外，锰抑制氧化应激的机制将通过采用高通量遗传筛选来确定锰抗氧化活性所需的基因。用转座子文库诱变sod 1缺失酵母，并选择表现出Mn损失拯救氧化损伤的突变体。该筛选旨在选择参与小分子代谢的基因，所述小分子结合并激活Mn以获得Mn抗氧化活性。总的来说，这些研究应该提供了很大的洞察磷酸盐，锰，铁在细胞氧化应激和锰抑制氧化损伤的因素的作用。这种类型的研究是理解和治疗氧化应激引起的许多人类疾病的核心。 公共卫生关系：来自氧自由基的损伤与许多人类疾病有关，包括再灌注损伤、癌症、心血管疾病、神经变性和衰老。研究细胞抗氧化应激的基本机制对于理解氧自由基在疾病中的作用和最终开发治疗策略至关重要。我们最近表明，除了超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）酶，锰是维持生命的关键在大气中的氧气。然而，很少有人了解细胞如何利用锰作为抗氧化剂。目前的调查的目的是破译细胞锰抗氧化活性的机制，特别强调磷酸盐，锰和铁代谢之间的相互作用。
