Abstract

Fas-associated death domain-containing protein (FADD), a classical apoptotic signaling adaptor, participates in different nonapoptotic processes regulated by its phosphorylation. However, the influence of FADD on metabolism, especially glucose homeostasis, has not been evaluated to date. Here, using both two-dimensional electrophoresis and liquid chromatography linked to tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS), we found that glycogen synthesis, glycolysis, and gluconeogenesis were dysregulated because of FADD phosphorylation, both in MEFs and liver tissue of the mice bearing phosphorylation-mimicking mutation form of FADD (FADD-D). Further physiological studies showed that FADD-D mice exhibited lower blood glucose, enhanced glucose tolerance, and increased liver glycogen content without alterations in insulin sensitivity. Moreover, investigations on the molecular mechanisms revealed that, under basal conditions, FADD-D mice had elevated phosphorylation of Akt with alterations in its downstream signaling, leading to increased glycogen synthesis and decreased gluconeogenesis. Thus, we uncover a novel role of FADD in the regulation of glucose homeostasis by proteomic discovery and physiological validation. © 2013 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.
