title: MondoA senses adenine nucleotides: transcriptional induction of thioredoxin-interacting protein.
abstract: The MondoA-Mlx transcription complex plays a pivotal role in glucose homoeostasis by activating target gene expression in response to G6P (glucose 6-phosphate), the first reaction intermediate in glycolysis. TXNIP (thioredoxin-interacting protein) is a direct and glucose-responsive target of MondoA that triggers a negative-feedback loop by restricting glucose uptake when G6P levels increase. We show in the present study that TXNIP expression is also activated by AICAR (5-amino-4-imidazolecarboxamide ribofuranoside) and adenosine. Using pharmacological inhibitors and genetic knockdowns of purine metabolic enzymes, we establish that TXNIP induction by AICAR and adenosine requires their cellular uptake and metabolism to adenine nucleotides. AICAR induction of TXNIP depended on MondoA, but was independent of AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) activation and calcium. The findings of the present study have two important implications. First, in addition to activating AMPK, AICAR may have AMPK-independent effects on gene expression by regulating MondoA-Mlx activity following its flux into the adenine nucleotide pool. Secondly, MondoA-Mlx complexes sense elevated levels of G6P and adenine nucleotides to trigger a TXNIP-dependent feedback inhibition of glycolysis. We propose that this mechanism serves as a checkpoint to restore metabolic homoeostasis.
