Article Abstract
The involvement of peroxisomes in cellular hydrogen peroxide (HO) metabolism has been a central theme since their first biochemical characterization by Christian de Duve in 1965. While the role of HO substantially changed from an exclusively toxic molecule to a signaling messenger, the regulatory role of peroxisomes in these signaling events is still largely underappreciated. This is mainly because the number of known protein targets of peroxisome-derived HO is rather limited and testing of specific targets is predominantly based on knowledge previously gathered in related fields of research. To gain a broader and more systematic insight into the role of peroxisomes in redox signaling, new approaches are urgently needed. In this study, we have combined a previously developed Flp-In T-REx 293 cell system in which peroxisomal HO production can be modulated with a yeast AP-1-like-based sulfenome mining strategy to inventory protein thiol targets of peroxisome-derived HO in different subcellular compartments. By using this approach, we identified more than 400 targets of peroxisome-derived HO in peroxisomes, the cytosol, and mitochondria. We also observed that the sulfenylation kinetics profiles of key targets belonging to different protein families (e.g., peroxiredoxins, annexins, and tubulins) can vary considerably. In addition, we obtained compelling but indirect evidence that peroxisome-derived HO may oxidize at least some of its targets (e.g., transcription factors) through a redox relay mechanism. In conclusion, given that sulfenic acids function as key intermediates in HO signaling, the findings presented in this study provide valuable insight into how peroxisomes may be integrated into the cellular HO signaling network.

Postembryonic development of animals has long been considered an internally predetermined program, while macronutrients were believed to be essential solely for providing biomatters and energy to support this process. However, in this study, by using a nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (abbreviated as C. elegans hereafter) model, we surprisingly discovered that dietary supplementation of palmitic acid alone, rather than other abundant essential nutrients such as glucose or amino acid mixture, was sufficient to initiate early postembryonic development even under complete macronutrient deprivation.

Mitochondrial morphology, which is controlled by mitochondrial fission and fusion, is an important regulator of the thermogenic capacity of brown adipocytes. Adipose-specific peroxisome deficiency impairs thermogenesis by inhibiting cold-induced mitochondrial fission due to decreased mitochondrial membrane content of the peroxisome-derived lipids called plasmalogens. Here, we identify TMEM135 as a critical mediator of the peroxisomal regulation of mitochondrial fission and thermogenesis.

As the reversible oxidation of protein cysteine thiols is an important mechanism in signal transduction, it is essential to have access to experimental approaches that allow for spatiotemporal indexing of the cellular sulfenome in response to local changes in HO levels. Here, we provide a step-by-step guide for enriching and identifying the sulfenome of mammalian cells at the subcellular level in response to peroxisome-derived HO by the combined use of (i) a previously developed cell line in which peroxisomal HO production can be induced in a time- and dose-dependent manner; (ii) YAP1C, a genetically encoded yeast AP-1-like transcription factor-based probe that specifically reacts with S-sulfenylated cysteines and traps them through mixed disulfide bonds; and (iii) mass spectrometry. Given that this approach includes differential labeling of reduced and reversibly oxidized cysteine residues, it can also provide additional information on the positions of the modified cysteines.

The prevalence of childhood obesity has increased nearly ten times over the last 40 years, influenced by early life nutrients that have persistent effects on life-long metabolism. During the first six months, infants undergo accelerated adipose accumulation, but little is known regarding infant fatty acid status and its relationship to infant body composition. We tested the hypothesis that a low arachidonic to docosahexaenoic acid ratio (AA/DHA) in infant red blood cells (RBCs), a long-term indicator of fatty acid intake, would associate with more infant fat-free mass (FFM) and/or less adipose accumulation over the first 4 months of life.

Circulating tumor cells are the key link between a primary tumor and distant metastases, but once in the bloodstream, loss of adhesion induces cell death. To identify the mechanisms relevant for melanoma circulating tumor cell survival, we performed RNA sequencing and discovered that detached melanoma cells and isolated melanoma circulating tumor cells rewire lipid metabolism by upregulating fatty acid (FA) transport and FA beta-oxidation‒related genes. In patients with melanoma, high expression of FA transporters and FA beta-oxidation enzymes significantly correlates with reduced progression-free and overall survival.
