OLA1 Phosphorylation Governs the Mitochondrial Bioenergetic Function of Pulmonary Vascular Cells

Mitochondrial function and metabolic homeostasis are integral to cardiovascular function and influence how vascular cells respond to stress. However, little is known regarding how mitochondrial redox control mechanisms and metabolic regulation interact in the developing lungs. Here we show that human OLA1 (Obg-like ATPase-1) couples redox signals to the metabolic response pathway by activating metabolic gene transcription in the nucleus. OLA1 phosphorylation at Ser232/Tyr236 triggers its translocation from the cytoplasm and mitochondria into the nucleus. Subsequent phosphorylation of OLA1 at Thr325 effectively changes its biochemical function from ATPase to GTPase, promoting the expression of genes involved in the mitochondrial bioenergetic function. This process is regulated by ERK1/2 (extracellular-regulated kinases 1 and 2), which were restrained by PP1A (protein phosphatase 1A) when stress abated. Knockdown of ERK1 or OLA1 mutated to a phosphoresistant T325A mutant blocked its nuclear translocation, compromised the expression of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes, and consequently led to cellular energy depletion. Moreover, the lungs of OLA1 knockout mice have fewer mitochondria, lower cellular ATP concentrations, and higher lactate concentrations. The ensuing mitochondrial metabolic dysfunction resulted in abnormal behaviors of pulmonary vascular cells and significant vascular remodeling. Our findings demonstrate that OLA1 is an important component of the mitochondrial retrograde communication pathways that couple stress signals with metabolic genes in the nucleus. Thus, phosphorylation-dependent nuclear OLA1 localization that governs cellular energy metabolism is critical to cardiovascular function.
