美国宾夕法尼亚大学Joseph A. Baur和德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校Xiaolu A. Cambronne课题组发现,SLC25A51是哺乳动物线粒体烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸(NAD+)转运蛋白。这一研究成果于2020年9月9日在线发表在国际学术期刊《自然》上。

研究人员发现哺乳动物线粒体能够吸收NAD+,并鉴定了SLC25A51(先前未知功能的必需线粒体蛋白,也称为MCART1)是哺乳动物线粒体NAD+转运蛋白。SLC25A51缺失会降低线粒体NAD+的含量,但不会降低其在全细胞的水平;SLC25A51缺失导致线粒体呼吸作用受损,并阻止NAD+进入分离的线粒体中。

相反,过表达SLC25A51或与其相似的旁系同源物SLC25A52会增加线粒体NAD+含量,并使NAD+进入到缺乏内源NAD+转运蛋白的酵母线粒体中。总之,该研究揭示了SLC25A51是第一个介导NAD+进入哺乳动物线粒体的转运蛋白。

据了解,线粒体需要NAD+来执行呼吸产能和介导细胞能量转运的基本功能。已在酵母和植物中鉴定了线粒体NAD+转运蛋白,但它们是否也存在于哺乳动物中仍有争议。

Abstract: Mitochondria require nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) in order to carry out the fundamental processes that fuel respiration and mediate cellular energy transduction. Mitochondrial NAD+ transporters have been identified in yeast and plants1,2 but their very existence is controversial in mammals3–5. Here we demonstrate that mammalian mitochondria are capable of taking up intact NAD+ and identify SLC25A51 (an essential6,7 mitochondrial protein of previously unknown function, also known as MCART1) as a mammalian mitochondrial NAD+ transporter. Loss of SLC25A51 decreases mitochondrial but not whole-cell NAD+ content, impairs mitochondrial respiration, and blocks the uptake of NAD+ into isolated mitochondria. Conversely, overexpression of SLC25A51 or a nearly identical paralog, SLC25A52, increases mitochondrial NAD+ levels and restores NAD+ uptake into yeast mitochondria lacking endogenous NAD+ transporters. Together, these findings identify SLC25A51 as the first transporter capable of importing NAD+ into mammalian mitochondria.
