Multienzyme activity profiling for evaluation of cell-to-cell variability of metabolic state

In solid organs, cells of the same "type" can vary in their molecular phenotype. The basis of this state variation is being revealed by characterizing cell features including the expression pattern of mRNAs and the internal distribution of proteins. Here, the variability of metabolic state between cells is probed by enzyme activity profiling. We study individual cells of types that can be identified during the post-mitotic phase of oogenesis in Xenopus laevis. Whole-cell homogenates of isolated oocytes are used for kinetic analysis of enzymes, with a focus on the initial reaction rate. For each oocyte type studied, the activity signatures of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and malate dehydrogenase 1 (MDH1) vary more between the homogenates of single oocytes than between repeat samplings of control homogenates. Unexpectedly, the activity signatures of GAPDH and MDH1 strongly co-vary between oocytes of each type and change in strength of correlation during oogenesis. Therefore, variability of the kinetic behavior of these housekeeping enzymes between "identical" cells is physiologically programmed. Based on these findings, we propose that single-cell profiling of enzyme kinetics will improve understanding of how metabolic state heterogeneity is related to heterogeneity revealed by omics methods including proteomics, epigenomics, and metabolomics.
