All living organisms depend on NADPH production to feed essential biosyntheses
and for oxidative stress defense. Protozoan parasites such as the sleeping
sickness pathogen Trypanosoma brucei adapt to different host environments, carbon
sources, and oxidative stresses during their infectious life cycle. The procyclic
stage develops in the midgut of the tsetse insect vector, where they rely on
proline as carbon source, although they prefer glucose when grown in rich media.
Here, we investigate the flexible and carbon source-dependent use of NADPH
synthesis pathways in the cytosol of the procyclic stage. The T. brucei genome
encodes two cytosolic NADPH-producing pathways, the pentose phosphate pathway
(PPP) and the NADP-dependent malic enzyme (MEc). Reverse genetic blocking of
those pathways and a specific inhibitor (dehydroepiandrosterone) of
glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase together established redundancy with respect to
H2O2 stress management and parasite growth. Blocking both pathways resulted in
?10-fold increase of susceptibility to H2O2 stress and cell death. Unexpectedly,
the same pathway redundancy was observed in glucose-rich and glucose-depleted
conditions, suggesting that gluconeogenesis can feed the PPP to provide NADPH.
This was confirmed by (i) a lethal phenotype of RNAi-mediated depletion of
glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (PGI) in the glucose-depleted ?mec/?mec null
background, (ii) an ?10-fold increase of susceptibility to H2O2 stress observed
for the ?mec/?mec/(RNAi)PGI double mutant when compared with the single mutants,
and (iii) the (13)C enrichment of glycolytic and PPP intermediates from cells
incubated with [U-(13)C]proline, in the absence of glucose.
Gluconeogenesis-supported NADPH supply may also be important for nucleotide and
glycoconjugate syntheses in the insect host.
