Gene Description

GAPDH (Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase) is a multifunctional protein best known for its role in glycolysis, catalyzing the oxidation and phosphorylation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate as a homotetramer in the cytosol. Beyond metabolism, GAPDH has extraordinary moonlighting functions including roles in transcription, apoptosis, DNA repair (via interaction with DNA polymerase Ξ²), membrane trafficking, cytoskeletal dynamics, and immune responses. It localizes to multiple cellular compartments (cytosol, nucleus, membrane, mitochondria) and its diverse functions are regulated by post-translational modifications including S-nitrosylation (at Cys-150), Src-mediated Tyr41 phosphorylation, acetylation, and oxidation. A key stress-responsive moonlighting axis is the nuclear-GAPDH (N-GAPDH) cascade in which S-nitrosylation at Cys-150 enables Siah1 binding (requiring Lys-225) and nuclear translocation of a small (~1-2%) signaling pool that is functionally separable from bulk glycolytic activity. This context-dependent multifunctionality makes GAPDH a prime example of protein moonlighting, where a single protein performs multiple unrelated functions depending on cellular conditions and localization.

GO:0005634 nucleus
IEA
GO_REF:0000044
ACCEPT
Summary: GAPDH translocates to the nucleus under stress conditions where it functions as a S-nitrosylase to regulate apoptosis by modifying nuclear proteins through S-nitrosylation.
Reason: Nuclear localization is essential for GAPDH's moonlighting function as a peptidyl-cysteine S-nitrosylase that regulates apoptotic processes by S-nitrosylating nuclear target proteins.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:38615102
At the molecular levels such stressors lead to S-nitrosylation (or possibly oxidation) at Cys-150, which allows post-translationally modified GAPDH to interact with a chaperon protein Siah1 creating a protein complex of GAPDH-Siah1. Through this process, GAPDH loses its glycolytic activity and is translocated to the nucleus as a GAPDH-Siah1 complex
PMID:38615102
Our group also reported that the replacement of lysine 225 for alanine (K225A) on GAPDH abolished GAPDH-Siah1 binding
PMID:38611852
In the context of DNA repair, it is found that the activation of the tyrosine kinase Src occurs under DNA damage stress, leading to the phosphorylation of GAPDH at Tyr41. This phosphorylation event is crucial for the nuclear translocation of GAPDH.

Supporting Evidence:
PMID:38611852
For example, apoptotic stimuli can activate NO formation and lead to the S-nitrosylation of GAPDH. This modification inhibits GAPDH's catalytic activity and enables it to bind to Siah, an E3-ubiquitin-ligase, which transports GAPDH to the nucleus. Inside the nucleus, GAPDH stabilizes Siah, allowing it to degrade specific target proteins and influence apoptosis.

Core Functions

Primary glycolytic function - catalyzes oxidative phosphorylation of G3P to 1,3-BPG

Moonlighting nuclear function - S-nitrosylates target proteins to regulate apoptosis

Directly Involved In:
Cellular Locations:
Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:28404743
    We found that GAPDH translocates into SMC nucleus upon oxidative stress
  • PMID:38615102
    GAPDH-Siah1 protein binding is a key regulatory process that initiates the nuclear-GAPDH (N-GAPDH) cascade
  • PMID:38611852
    For example, apoptotic stimuli can activate NO formation and lead to the S-nitrosylation of GAPDH. This modification inhibits GAPDH's catalytic activity and enables it to bind to Siah, an E3-ubiquitin-ligase, which transports GAPDH to the nucleus.

Moonlighting GAIT complex function - regulates inflammatory mRNA translation

Molecular Function:
RNA binding
In Complex:
GAIT complex

    However, the triad of Ser(999)-phosphorylated EPRS, Ser(77)-phosphorylated L13a, and GAPDH forms a functional GAIT complex that inhibits translation of GAIT target mRNAs

Moonlighting antimicrobial function - secreted GAPDH has antifungal activity

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:22832495
    Moreover, evidence has been shown that GAPDH is relevant for the functioning of cationic host defense peptides as a mononuclear cell receptor for human cathelicidin LL-37 and immunomodulatory IDR-1 (Mookherjee et al., 2009).The isolated peptide exhibits antimicrobial activity against E
