Type II iodothyronine 5'-deiodinase catalyzes the
bioactivation of thyroid hormone in the brain. In astrocytes, this
~200-kDa, membrane-bound enzyme is composed of at least one p29
subunit, an ~60-kDa, cAMP-induced activation protein, and one or more
uniden- tified catalytic subunit(s). Recently, an artificial type
II-like selenodeiodinase was engineered by fusing two independent
cDNAs together; however, no native type II selenodeiodinase
polypeptide is translated in the brain or brown adipose tissue of rats.
These data suggest that the native type II 5'-deiodinase in rat brain is unrelated to this artificial selenoprotein. In this report, we
describe the cloning of the 29-kDa subunit (p29) of type II 5'-deiodinase from a zapII cDNA library prepared from
cAMP-induced astrocytes. The 3.3-kilobase (kb) cDNA encodes an
~30-kDa, 277-amino acid long, hydrophobic protein lacking
selenocysteine. Northern blot analysis showed that a 3.5-kb p29
mRNA was present in tissues showing type II 5'-deiodinase activity
such as brain and cAMP-stimulated astrocytes. Domain-specific, anti-p29
antibodies specifically immunoprecipitated enzyme activity.
Overexpression of exogenous p29 or a green fluorescence protein
(GFP)-tagged p29 fusion protein led to a >100-fold increase in
deiodinating activity in cAMP-stimulated astrocytes, and the increased
activity was specifically immunoprecipitated by anti-GFP antibodies.
Steady-state reaction kinetics of the enzyme in GFP-tagged
p29-expressing astrocytes are identical to those of the native enzyme
in brain. Direct injection of replication-deficient Ad5-p29GFP virus particles into the cerebral
cortex of neonatal rats leads to a ~2-fold increase in brain type II
5'-deiodinating activity. These data show 1) that the 3.3-kb p29
cDNA encodes an essential subunit of rat type II iodothyronine
5'-deiodinase and 2) identify the first non-selenocysteine
containing subunit of the deiodinase family of enzymes.
