    a , Working hypothesis: an abortive catalytic cycle of UXS1 leads to the inactivation of the enzyme, which is counteracted by UDP-4-keto sugars. The decarboxylation of UDP-glucuronate by UXS1 depends on the oxidation of the C4 hydroxyl group using a tightly bound NAD + . This generates NADH and a UDP-4-ketoxylose intermediate. Normally, formation of UDP-xylose regenerates NAD + , preparing the enzyme for another cycle. Infrequently, the intermediate dissociates from the catalytic pocket, leaving UXS1 bound to NADH and inactive. We hypothesized that UDP-4-keto sugars restore activity by facilitating the oxidation of enzyme-bound NADH to NAD + . Loss of the cofactor can also yield an inactive apoenzyme, but reactivation by NAD + binding is limited by the low NAD + /NADH ratio in the endoplasmic reticulum maintained by H6PD. b , Schematic of the experiment to test whether UDP-4-ketoxylose produced by ArnA can reactivate UXS1. c – f , ArnA expression rescues UDP-xylose synthesis in TGDS- KO cells, but not in UXS1 -KO cells. UDP-xylose ( c , e ), UDP-glucuronate ( d , f ) were quantified by LC–MS in parental 293T ( c , d ) and HAP1 ( e , f ) cells, and in TGDS- KO or UXS1 -KO clones transduced with a lentivirus expressing ArnA or an empty vector. ND, not determined. g , Experiment exploring the role of H6PD in UXS1 dependency on TGDS. h – k , H6PD modulates UXS1 dependency on TGDS. In HAP1 cells, CRISPR–Cas9-mediated H6PD knockdown (using two different guide RNAs (gRNAs) versus control gRNA (−)) reduces the effect of TGDS deficiency on UXS1 function ( h , i ). In U2OS cells, H6PD overexpression (+) makes UXS1 activity dependent on TGDS ( j , k ). −, empty vector control. UDP-xylose ( h , j ) and UDP-glucuronate ( i , k ) were quantified by LC–MS. Data are mean ± s.d. of 3 independent experiments, each containing 3 biological replicates.

    Immunofluorescence images of U2OS cells after transfection with pCMV-TGDS, pCMV-UXS1-FLAG and pCMV-H6PD-V5. TGDS localization was detected using anti-TGDS, UXS1 using anti-FLAG, and H6PD using either anti-H6PD or anti-V5 antibodies. Endogenous markers for the ER (PDIA1; CALR) and Golgi (GM130; GIANTIN) were used to determine the proteins localization. All panels except the costaining with GM130 (i.e. bottom three images in panel a ) were performed with methanol-fixed cells. In the latter case, paraformaldehyde fixation was needed, which explains the slightly different morphology of the TGDS expression pattern. Scale bars, 10 µm.

The trailing peak (arrow, d ) in the ‘UDP-glucose’ chromatogram corresponds to the hydrated form of UDP-4k6dG previously reported in reactions for fungal orthologues . f-g , UDP 6-deoxyhexose (UDP-6dH, f) and UDP-4-keto-6-deoxyglucose (UDP-4k6dG, g ) levels were determined by LC-MS in parental cells and 2 TGDS KO clones from U2OS, HCT116, HAP1 and 293 T. h , Tentative identification of UDP-6-deoxyhexose as UDP-6-deoxyglucose. Extracted ion chromatogram (EIC) of the m/z corresponding to UDP-6-deoxyhexose (i.e., 549.053) in a reaction where the TGDS product (TGDS-P) was chemically reduced with NaBH 4 , leading to the formation of UDP-6-deoxyglucose and UDP-6-deoxygalactose (upper panel). Based on the catalytic cycle of UXS1, only UDP-6-deoxyglucose formation is expected when the TGDS product is incubated with UXS1 that has been inactivated using NaBH 4 beforehand (second panel). The UDP-6-deoxyhexose peak in cells coelutes with the one corresponding to UDP-6-deoxyglucose (third panel). Coelution is corroborated (lower panel) by the fact that the peak increases upon addition of a small amount of the sample presented in the upper panel. i-l , Inactivation of H6PD in TGDS -deficient cells does not lead to an increase in the rescue metabolite UDP-4k6dG ( i , j ) nor in UDP-6dH ( k , l ).

    a , Working hypothesis: an abortive catalytic cycle of UXS1 leads to the inactivation of the enzyme, which is counteracted by UDP-4-keto sugars. The decarboxylation of UDP-glucuronate by UXS1 depends on the oxidation of the C4 hydroxyl group using a tightly bound NAD + . This generates NADH and a UDP-4-ketoxylose intermediate. Normally, formation of UDP-xylose regenerates NAD + , preparing the enzyme for another cycle. Infrequently, the intermediate dissociates from the catalytic pocket, leaving UXS1 bound to NADH and inactive. We hypothesized that UDP-4-keto sugars restore activity by facilitating the oxidation of enzyme-bound NADH to NAD + . Loss of the cofactor can also yield an inactive apoenzyme, but reactivation by NAD + binding is limited by the low NAD + /NADH ratio in the endoplasmic reticulum maintained by H6PD. b , Schematic of the experiment to test whether UDP-4-ketoxylose produced by ArnA can reactivate UXS1. c – f , ArnA expression rescues UDP-xylose synthesis in TGDS- KO cells, but not in UXS1 -KO cells. UDP-xylose ( c , e ), UDP-glucuronate ( d , f ) were quantified by LC–MS in parental 293T ( c , d ) and HAP1 ( e , f ) cells, and in TGDS- KO or UXS1 -KO clones transduced with a lentivirus expressing ArnA or an empty vector. ND, not determined. g , Experiment exploring the role of H6PD in UXS1 dependency on TGDS. h – k , H6PD modulates UXS1 dependency on TGDS. In HAP1 cells, CRISPR–Cas9-mediated H6PD knockdown (using two different guide RNAs (gRNAs) versus control gRNA (−)) reduces the effect of TGDS deficiency on UXS1 function ( h , i ). In U2OS cells, H6PD overexpression (+) makes UXS1 activity dependent on TGDS ( j , k ). −, empty vector control. UDP-xylose ( h , j ) and UDP-glucuronate ( i , k ) were quantified by LC–MS.

    Immunofluorescence images of U2OS cells after transfection with pCMV-TGDS, pCMV-UXS1-FLAG and pCMV-H6PD-V5. TGDS localization was detected using anti-TGDS, UXS1 using anti-FLAG, and H6PD using either anti-H6PD or anti-V5 antibodies. Endogenous markers for the ER (PDIA1; CALR) and Golgi (GM130; GIANTIN) were used to determine the proteins localization. All panels except the costaining with GM130 (i.e. bottom three images in panel a ) were performed with methanol-fixed cells. In the latter case, paraformaldehyde fixation was needed, which explains the slightly different morphology of the TGDS expression pattern. Scale bars, 10 µm.

Extracted ion chromatogram (EIC) of the m/z corresponding to UDP-6-deoxyhexose (i.e., 549.053) in a reaction where the TGDS product (TGDS-P) was chemically reduced with NaBH 4 , leading to the formation of UDP-6-deoxyglucose and UDP-6-deoxygalactose (upper panel). Based on the catalytic cycle of UXS1, only UDP-6-deoxyglucose formation is expected when the TGDS product is incubated with UXS1 that has been inactivated using NaBH 4 beforehand (second panel). The UDP-6-deoxyhexose peak in cells coelutes with the one corresponding to UDP-6-deoxyglucose (third panel).

(A–D) NADPH/NADP ratio (n = 3) (A), ATP intracellular concentration (n = 3) (B), total antioxidant capacity (n = 3) (C) and malondialdehyde levels (n = 4) (D) under control (Ctrl), control siRNA (siCtrl), siRNA H6PD (siH6PD) or siRNA G6PD (siG6PD) in HG (blue) or LG (orange) medium, data are expressed as percentual of relative control. (E and F) mRNA ME1 expression (n = 3) (E) and Pyruvate/Malate ratio (n = 3) (F) under the same experimental conditions as A. Data are represented as mean ± SD. ∗ = p < 0.05; ∗∗ = p < 0.01; ∗∗∗ = p < 0.001; ∗∗∗∗ = p < 0.0001 versus corresponding control. ## = p < 0.001; ### = p < 0.001; #### = p < 0.0001 versus corresponding condition in HG cultures.
