| Abstrakt: | Iron-sulfur clusters (ISCs) are cell-essential cofactors present in ∼60 proteins including subunits of OXPHOS complexes I-III, DNA polymerases, and iron-sensing proteins. Dysfunctions in ISC biosynthesis are associated with anemias, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic diseases. To assess consequences of acute ISC inhibition in a whole body setting, we developed a mouse model in which key ISC biosynthetic enzyme NFS1 can be acutely and reversibly suppressed. Contrary to in vitro ISC inhibition and pharmacological OXPHOS suppression, global NFS1 inhibition rapidly enhances lipid utilization and decreases adiposity without affecting caloric intake and physical activity. ISC proteins decrease, including key proteins involved in OXPHOS (SDHB), lipoic acid synthesis (LIAS), and insulin mRNA processing (CDKAL1), causing acute metabolic inflexibility. Age-related metabolic changes decelerate loss of adiposity substantially prolonged survival of mice with NFS1 inhibition. Thus, the observation that ISC metabolism impacts organismal fuel choice will aid in understanding the mechanisms underlying ISC diseases with increased risk for diabetes. Highlights: Acute ISC inhibition leads to rapid loss of adiposity in miceMulti-metabolic pathway disruption upon ISC deficiency blocks energy storageNfs1 inhibition induces glucose dyshomeostasis due to ISC deficiency in β-cellsEnergy distress caused by inhibition of ISC synthesis is attenuated in aged mice. |
