SIRM analysis of fumarate and citrate in UOK262 cells by IC-FTMS under different conditions. Metabolites were resolved and quantified as described in the “Methods” section, and the absolute concentrations and fraction enrichments are given for both UOK262WT (WT) and UOK262FH−/− (KO) under different treatment conditions. Means and standard errors are shown. An unpaired two-tailed t test was used for statistical comparisons. Cx_Ny are isotopologues that contain x13C and y15N atoms. a Absolute amounts of total fumarate in μmole/g. UOK262 p = 0.0158 for +Gln + Asn versus +Gln-Asn; p = 0.102 for +Gln + Asn versus -Gln + Asn: WT p = 0.0044 for +Gln + Asn versus +Gln-Asn; p = 0.033 for -Gln + Asn versus +Gln + Asn. b Fractional 13C enrichment in fumarate isotopologues. Upper: WT versus KO for 13C15N Asn alone and for 13C15N Gln alone. WT 13C15N Asn, KO 13C15N Asn, WT 13C15N Gln, KO 13C15N Gln. Lower: WT versus KO for 13C15N Asn with 12C14N (unlabeled) Gln and for 12C14N (unlabeled) Asn + 13C15N Gln. WT 13C15N Asn plus 12C14N Gln, KO 13C15N Asn plus 12C14N Gln, WT 12C14N Asn plus 13C15N Gln, KO 12C14N Asn plus 13C15N Gln. c Absolute amounts of total citrate in μmole/g. UOK262 p = 0.607 for +Q + N versus +Q-N; p = 0.0083 for +-Q + N versus +Q + N: WT p = 0.0723 for +Q + N versus +Q-N; p = 0.452 for +-Q + N versus +Q + N. d Fractional 13C enrichment in citrate. WT Gln versus KO Gln p = 0.0082; WT Gln + Asn vs KO Gln + Asn p = 0.0002. Upper: WT versus KO for 13C15N Asn alone and for 13C15N Gln alone. WT 13C15N Asn, KO 13C15N Asn, WT 13C15N Gln, KO 13C15N Gln. Lower: WT versus KO for 13C15N Asn with 12C14N (unlabeled) Gln and for 12C14N (unlabeled) Asn + 13C15N Gln. WT 13C15N Asn plus 12C14N Gln, KO 13C15N Asn plus 12C14N Gln, WT 12C14N Asn plus 13C15N Gln, KO 12C14N Asn plus 13C15N Gln
