Succination of Proteins by Fumarate: Mechanism of Inactivation of Glyceraldehyde‐3‐Phosphate Dehydrogenase in Diabetes
Open accessAbstract
S ‐(2‐succinyl)cysteine (2SC) is a chemical modification of proteins formed by a Michael addition reaction between the Krebs cycle intermediate, fumarate, and thiol groups in protein—a process known as succination of protein. Succination causes irreversible inactivation of glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) in vitro . GAPDH was immunoprecipitated from muscle of diabetic rats, then analyzed by ultra‐performance liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization–mass spectroscopy. Succination of GAPDH was increased in muscle of diabetic rats, and the extent of succination correlated strongly with the decrease in specific activity of the enzyme. We propose that 2SC is a biomarker of mitochondrial and oxidative stress in diabetes and that succination of GAPDH and other thiol proteins may provide the chemical link between glucotoxicity and the pathogenesis of diabetic complications.

“Importantly, inhibition of aerobic glycolysis by the specific GAPDH inhibitor heptelidic acid (HA) and 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) recapitulated the immunomodulatory effects of DMF in vitro, while in vivo administration of HA inhibited the development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a murine model of MS99.”

In the citing paper
“Intriguingly, endogenous fumarate was also found to succinate GAPDH in both mouse and human macrophages, suggesting that elevated fumarate levels may act as an endogenous anti-inflammatory signal to limit inflammation, however, the precise role of fumarate accumulation remains an open question to be explored.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
