Acetyl-CoA metabolism by ACSS2 regulates neuronal histone acetylation and long-term memory [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Metabolic production of acetyl-CoA has been linked to histone acetylation and gene regulation, however the mechanisms are largely unknown. We show that the metabolic enzyme acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2) is a critical and direct regulator of histone acetylation in neurons and of long-term mammalian memory. We observe increased nuclear ACSS2 in differentiating neurons in vitro. Genome-wide, ACSS2 binding corresponds with increased histone acetylation and gene expression of key neuronal genes. These data indicate that ACSS2 functions as a chromatin-bound co-activator to increase local concentrations of acetyl-CoA and to locally promote histone acetylation for transcription of neuron-specific genes. Remarkably, in vivo attenuation of hippocampal ACSS2 expression in adult mice impairs long-term spatial memory, a cognitive process reliant on histone acetylation. ACSS2 reduction in hippocampus also leads to a defect in upregulation of key neuronal genes involved in memory. These results reveal a unique connection between cellular metabolism and neural plasticity, and establish a link between generation of acetyl-CoA and neuronal chromatin regulation. Global survey of gene expression in CAD cells and differentiated CAD neurons following lentiviral knockdown of ACSS2 or ATP citrate lyase (ACL) (and control = scramble hairpin); survey of hippocampal gene expression changes associated with retrieval of fear memory, after ACSS2-AAV knockdown or in EGFP-AAV control (comparison of 0h vs. 1h post-memory retrieval).

Targeting acetyl-CoA metabolism attenuates the formation of fear memories through reduced activity-dependent histone acetylation

Project description:Histone acetylation is a key component in the consolidation of long-term fear memories, which are models for highly resilient and durable memory. Histone acetylation is fueled by acetyl-CoA and recently, nuclear-localized metabolic enzymes that produce this metabolite have emerged as direct and local regulators of histone acetylation. In particular, Acetyl-coA synthetase 2 (ACSS2) mediates histone acetylation in the mouse hippocampus. However, whether ACSS2 regulates long-term fear memory remains to be determined. Here, we show that Acss2 knockout is well-tolerated in mice, yet the Acss2 null mouse exhibits reduced acquisition of long-term fear memory. Loss of Acss2 leads to reductions in both histone acetylation and expression of critical learning and memory-related genes in the dorsal hippocampus, specifically following fear conditioning. Further, systemic administration of blood-brain-barrier (BBB)-permeable Acss2 inhibitors during the consolidation window reduces fear memory formation in mice and rats, and reduces anxiety in a predator-scent-stress (PSS) paradigm. Our findings suggest that nuclear acetyl-CoA metabolism via ACSS2 plays a critical, previously unappreciated role in the formation of fear memories.

Cytosolic acetyl-CoA promotes histone acetylation predominantly at H3K27 in Arabidopsis

Project description:Acetyl-Coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) is a central metabolite and the acetyl source for protein acetylation, particularly histone acetylation that promotes gene expression. However, the effect of acetyl-CoA levels on histone acetylation status in plants remains unknown. Here, we show that malfunctioned cytosolic acetyl-CoA carboxylase1 (ACC1) in Arabidopsis leads to elevated levels of acetyl-CoA and promotes histone hyperacetylation predominantly at lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3K27). The increase of H3K27 acetylation (H3K27ac) is dependent on ATP-citrate lyase which cleaves citrate to acetyl-CoA in the cytoplasm, and requires histone acetyltransferase GCN5. A comprehensive analysis of the transcriptome and metabolome in combination with the genome-wide H3K27ac profiles of acc1 mutants, demonstrate the dynamic changes of H3K27ac, gene transcripts and metabolites occurring in the cell by the increased levels of acetyl-CoA. This study suggests that H3K27ac is an important link between cytosolic acetyl-CoA level and gene expression in response to the dynamic metabolic environments in plants.

Glucose Starvation Induces a Switch in the Histone Acetylome for Activation of Gluconeogenic and Fat Metabolism Genes [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Acetyl-CoA is a key intermediate in metabolism situated at the intersection of many metabolic pathways. The reliance of histone acetylation on acetyl-CoA enables gene expression to be coordinated with metabolic state. Previous studies have linked abundant histone acetylation to activation of genes involved in cell growth or tumorigenesis. However, under glucose starvation, the extent to which histone acetylation is important for gene expression remains poorly understood. Here, we use a yeast starvation model to unravel a dramatic alteration in global occupancy of histone acetylation following carbon starvation. We observe a shift in the location of histone acetylation marks from growth-promoting genes to genes required for gluconeogenesis and fat metabolism. This switch is mediated by both the histone deacetylase Rpd3 and the Gcn5p/SAGA acetyltransferase. Our findings reveal a striking specificity for histone acetylation in promoting pathways that generate acetyl-CoA for oxidation when intracellular acetyl-CoA is limiting .
