Enhanced Fasting Glucose Turnover in Mice with Disrupted Action of TUG Protein in Skeletal Muscle

Abstract: Background: Insulin stimulates endoproteolytic cleavage of TUG proteins to promote glucose uptake in cultured adipocytes, but the role of this pathway in muscle is uncharacterized. Results: Transgenic mice with constitutive and unregulated TUG cleavage in muscle had increased whole-body and musclespecific glucose uptake during fasting. Conclusion: Insulin acts through TUG to control glucose uptake in muscle. Significance: Understanding insulin action will elucidate diabetes pathogenesis.

“…It is thus thought to trap GSVs intracellularly by linking them to the cis-Golgi matrix in unstimulated cells (17,19). Insulin then liberates GSVs by triggering site-specific endoproteolytic cleavage of TUG, which separates regions that bind GLUT4 from regions that bind Golgi proteins (17,18). Data imply that this action accounts for a substantial portion of the acute effect of insulin in fat and muscle (14).…”

“…Quadriceps muscles were excised, snap-frozen in liquid N 2 , and stored at Ϫ80°C. Tissues were homogenized in ice-cold radioimmune precipitation buffer using a Qiagen TissueLyser II, as described (18). Immunoblotting and densitometry was performed as above.…”
