Rat mammary-gland acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase interaction with milk fatty acids.

ABSTRACT: 1. Highly purified rat mammary-gland acetyl-CoA carboxylase was inhibited by milk obtained from rats 12h after their young were weaned. 2. All the inhibitory activity was found in the particulate fraction (R(105)) obtained on centrifuging the milk. It could be extracted from milk fraction R(105) with acetone and identified as a complex mixture of non-esterified fatty acids, present in high concentration (nearly 10mm) in the milk. 3. Inhibition of acetyl-CoA carboxylase was observed at low concentrations (0.2-20mum) of several of these fatty acids when fresh fully active enzyme was used. Enzyme that had been partly inactivated by aging, or by storing in the absence of citrate, was stimulated by low concentrations but inhibited by high concentrations of fatty acids. 4. Various experiments suggested that fatty acids produce irreversible inactivation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. 5. The effects of palmitoyl-CoA on mammary-gland acetyl-CoA carboxylase were found to resemble those of fatty acids, except that palmitoyl-CoA was effective at lower concentration. 6. The effect of milk fraction R(105) was tested on six other enzymes previously shown to decline to various extents after weaning. Although several of these enzymes were affected by unfractionated milk fraction R(105), none was significantly inhibited by the acetone extract or by low concentrations of lauric acid. 7. The findings are consistent, both qualitatively and quantitatively, with a regulatory mechanism whereby milk fatty acids shut off fatty acid synthesis in the mammary gland after weaning by inhibiting acetyl-CoA carboxylase.

Studies on acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthase from rat mammary gland and mammary tumours.

Project description:The activities of two lipogenic enzymes, acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthase, were determined in two transplantable mammary adenocarcinomas (13762 and R3230AC) carried by non-pregnant, pregnant and lactating rats, and in mammary tissue of control animals (non-tumour-carrying) of comparable physiological states. During mammary-gland differentiation of control or tumour-carrying animals, the activities of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthase in the lactating gland increased by about 40--50-fold over the values found in non-pregnant animals. On the other hand, in tumours carried by lactating dams there were only modest increases (1.5--2-fold) in acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthase compared with the neoplasms carried by non-pregnant animals. On the basis of the Km values for different substrates and immunodiffusion and immunotitration data, the fatty acid synthase of neoplastic tissues appeared to be indistinguishable from the control mammary-gland enzyme. However, a comparison of the immunotitration and immunodiffusion experiments indicated that the mammary-gland acetyl-CoA carboxylase might differ from the enzyme present in mammary neoplasms.

Changes in mammary-gland acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase associated with lactogenic differentiation.

Project description:The process leading to the rise of acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity in rat mammary tissue after the onset of lactation was investigated. The kinetics of change in enzyme activity and enzyme immunotitratable with antibody against avian liver acetyl-CoA carboxylase were determined during the course of lactogenic differentiation. The antibody inactivates and specifically precipitates acetyl-CoA carboxylase from rat mammary tissue as well as that from chicken liver cytosol. Characterization of the immunoprecipitate of the mammary tissue carboxylase by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis reveals a single biotin-containing polypeptide of about 230000mol.wt. This molecular weight is approximately twice that reported for the avian liver enzyme. However, chicken liver cytosol prepared in the presence of trypsin inhibitor and subjected to immunoprecipitation gives rise to a biotin-containing subunit of 230000mol.wt. as determined by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis; omission of proteinase inhibitor leads to a subunit(s) approximately one-half this size. Throughout gestation both carboxylase activity and amounts of immunotitratable enzyme remained low; however, after parturition both parameters rose concomitantly to values 30-40 times the initial values. Therefore the elevated concentration of acetyl-CoA carboxylase appears to result from an increased rate of synthesis of enzyme relative to degradation rather than to activation of a pre-existing form of the enzyme.

Purification and some properties of acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase from rabbit mammary gland.

Project description:1. Acetyl-Coa carboxylase from lactating-rabbit mammary gland was purified to homogeneity by the criterion of polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. 2. Use of phosphate buffer throughout the purification gave low recovery of enzyme. Consequently, Tris buffers were used in the extraction and in selected stages of the purification procedure. 3. The purified enzyme had a specific activity of 5.15 +/- 0.3 mumol of bicarbonate incorporated/min per mg of protein (mean +/- S.E.M. of five preparations). This represents a purification of 257 +/- 16-fold and a yield of 4.3 +/- 0.13%. 4. The kinetic parameters of the purified enzyme were similar to those reported for the enzyme from other tissue sources. 5. The enzyme was assayed by a spectrophotometric assay and by a [14C]bicarbonate-fixation assay. Short incubation were used in the radio-chemical assay to avoid substantial loss of [14C]bicarbonate.

Regulator of fatty acid metabolism, acetyl coenzyme a carboxylase 1, controls T cell immunity.

Project description:Fatty acids (FAs) are essential constituents of cell membranes, signaling molecules, and bioenergetic substrates. Because CD8(+) T cells undergo both functional and metabolic changes during activation and differentiation, dynamic changes in FA metabolism also occur. However, the contributions of de novo lipogenesis to acquisition and maintenance of CD8(+) T cell function are unclear. In this article, we demonstrate the role of FA synthesis in CD8(+) T cell immunity. T cell-specific deletion of acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase 1 (ACC1), an enzyme that catalyzes conversion of acetyl coenzyme A to malonyl coenzyme A, a carbon donor for long-chain FA synthesis, resulted in impaired peripheral persistence and homeostatic proliferation of CD8(+) T cells in naive mice. Loss of ACC1 did not compromise effector CD8(+) T cell differentiation upon listeria infection but did result in a severe defect in Ag-specific CD8(+) T cell accumulation because of increased death of proliferating cells. Furthermore, in vitro mitogenic stimulation demonstrated that defective blasting and survival of ACC1-deficient CD8(+) T cells could be rescued by provision of exogenous FA. These results suggest an essential role for ACC1-mediated de novo lipogenesis as a regulator of CD8(+) T cell expansion, and may provide insights for therapeutic targets for interventions in autoimmune diseases, cancer, and chronic infections.

A capillary electrophoretic assay for acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase.

Project description:A simple off-column capillary electrophoretic (CE) assay for measuring acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase holoenzyme (holo-ACC) activity and inhibition was developed. The two reactions catalyzed by the holo-ACC components, biotin carboxylase (BC) and carboxyltransferase (CT), were simultaneously monitored in this assay. Acetyl coenzyme A (CoA), malonyl-CoA, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) were separated by capillary electrophoresis, and the depletion of ATP and acetyl-CoA as well as the production of ADP and malonyl-CoA were monitored. Inhibition of holo-ACC by the BC inhibitor, 2-amino-N,N-dibenzyloxazole-5-carboxamide, and the carboxyltransferase inhibitor, andrimid, was confirmed using this assay. A previously reported off-column CE assay for only the CT component of ACC was optimized, and an off-column CE assay for the BC component of ACC also was developed.

Synthesis of milk specific fatty acids and proteins by dispersed goat mammary-gland epithelial cells.

Project description:The method now described for preparation of dispersed lactating goat mammary-gland cells gives a high yield of morphologically and functionally normal mammary cells. The cells synthesize specific goat milk fatty acids in the right proportions, and they respond to hormones by increased protein synthesis. The cells can be frozen and thawed without losing the above properties, which makes them an excellent tool for metabolic and hormonal studies.

Sterol regulatory element binding protein 1a regulates hepatic fatty acid partitioning by activating acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase 2.

Project description:We generated a line of mice in which sterol regulatory element binding protein 1a (SREBP-1a) was specifically inactivated by insertional mutagenesis. Homozygous mutant mice were completely viable despite expressing SREBP-1a mRNA below 5% of normal, and there were minimal effects on expression of either SREBP-1c or -2. Microarray expression studies in liver, where SREBP-1a mRNA is 1/10 the level of the highly similar SREBP-1c, demonstrated that only a few genes were affected. The only downregulated genes directly linked to lipid metabolism were Srebf1 (which encodes SREBP-1) and Acacb (which encodes acetyl coenzyme A [acetyl-CoA] carboxylase 2 [ACC2], a critical regulator of fatty acyl-CoA partitioning between cytosol and mitochondria). ACC2 regulation is particularly important during food restriction. Similar to Acacb knockout mice, SREBP-1a-deficient mice have lower hepatic triglycerides and higher serum ketones during fasting than wild-type mice. SREBP-1a and -1c have identical DNA binding and dimerization domains; thus, the failure of the more abundant SREBP-1c to substitute for activating hepatic ACC2 must relate to more efficient recruitment of transcriptional coactivators to the more potent SREBP-1a activation domain. Our chromatin immunoprecipitation results support this hypothesis.

Dimerization of the bacterial biotin carboxylase subunit is required for acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase activity in vivo.

Project description:Acetyl coenzyme A (acteyl-CoA) carboxylase (ACC) is the first committed enzyme of the fatty acid synthesis pathway. Escherichia coli ACC is composed of four different proteins. The first enzymatic activity of the ACC complex, biotin carboxylase (BC), catalyzes the carboxylation of the protein-bound biotin moiety of another subunit with bicarbonate in an ATP-dependent reaction. Although BC is found as a dimer in cell extracts and the carboxylase activities of the two subunits of the dimer are interdependent, mutant BC proteins deficient in dimerization are reported to retain appreciable activity in vitro (Y. Shen, C. Y. Chou, G. G. Chang, and L. Tong, Mol. Cell 22:807-818, 2006). However, in vivo BC must interact with the other proteins of the complex, and thus studies of the isolated BC may not reflect the intracellular function of the enzyme. We have tested the abilities of three BC mutant proteins deficient in dimerization to support growth and report that the two BC proteins most deficient in dimerization fail to support growth unless expressed at high levels. In contrast, the wild-type protein supports growth at low expression levels. We conclude that BC must be dimeric to fulfill its physiological function.

Pyruvate carboxylase in lactating rat and rabbit mammary gland.

Project description:1. Pyruvate carboxylase [pyruvate-carbon dioxide ligase (ADP), EC 6.4.1.1] was found in cell-free preparations of lactating rat and rabbit mammary glands, and optimum assay conditions for this enzyme were determined. 2. Subcellular-fractionation studies with marker enzymes showed pyruvate carboxylase to be distributed between the mitochondrial and soluble fractions of lactating rat mammary gland. Evidence is presented that the soluble enzyme is not an artifact due to mitochondrial damage. 3. In contrast, pyruvate carboxylase in lactating rabbit mammary gland is confined to the mitochondrial fraction. 4. The final product of pyruvate carboxylase action in the mitochondrial and particle-free supernatant fractions of lactating rat mammary gland was shown to be citrate. 5. The effects of freeze-drying, ultrasonic treatment and freezing-and-thawing on the specific activity of mitochondrial pyruvate carboxylase were investigated.

Maternal obesity reduces milk lipid production in lactating mice by inhibiting acetyl-CoA carboxylase and impairing fatty acid synthesis.

Project description:Maternal metabolic and nutrient trafficking adaptations to lactation differ among lean and obese mice fed a high fat (HF) diet. Obesity is thought to impair milk lipid production, in part, by decreasing trafficking of dietary and de novo synthesized lipids to the mammary gland. Here, we report that de novo lipogenesis regulatory mechanisms are disrupted in mammary glands of lactating HF-fed obese (HF-Ob) mice. HF feeding decreased the total levels of acetyl-CoA carboxylase-1 (ACC), and this effect was exacerbated in obese mice. The relative levels of phosphorylated (inactive) ACC, were elevated in the epithelium, and decreased in the adipose stroma, of mammary tissue from HF-Ob mice compared to those of HF-fed lean (HF-Ln) mice. Mammary gland levels of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which catalyzes formation of inactive ACC, were also selectively elevated in mammary glands of HF-Ob relative to HF-Ln dams or to low fat fed dams. These responses correlated with evidence of increased lipid retention in mammary adipose, and decreased lipid levels in mammary epithelial cells, of HF-Ob dams. Collectively, our data suggests that maternal obesity impairs milk lipid production, in part, by disrupting the balance of de novo lipid synthesis in the epithelial and adipose stromal compartments of mammary tissue through processes that appear to be related to increased mammary gland AMPK activity, ACC inhibition, and decreased fatty acid synthesis.
