The atypical velocity response by pyruvate carboxylase to increasing concentrations of acetyl-coenzyme A.

ABSTRACT: An investigation was made of the interaction of pyruvate carboxylase with its allosteric effector, acetyl-CoA, and the velocity profile of the deacylation of acetyl-CoA as a function of acetyl-CoA concentration indicated that this ligand does not bind to this enzyme in a positive homotropic co-operative manner. An examination was therefore made of the factors that contribute to the sigmoidicity of the rate curves obtained for pyruvate carboxylation with various concentrations of acetyl-CoA. Hill coefficients for acetyl-CoA obtained with both sheep and chicken liver pyruvate carboxylases were found to be dependent on the fixed pyruvate concentration used in the assay solution. Thus, by varying the acetyl-CoA concentration, the degree of saturation of the enzyme by pyruvate was also changed. A further consequence of non-saturating concentrations of pyruvate was that the non-productive hydrolysis of the enzyme- carboxybiotin complex increased, resulting in an under-estimate of the reaction velocity measured by oxaloacetate formation. Another factor contributing to the sigmoidicity is that, at non-saturating concentrations of acetyl-CoA, the enzyme undergoes inactivation upon dilution to low protein concentrations, again resulting in an under-estimate of the reaction velocity. Under conditions where none of the above factors was operating and the only effect of varying acetyl-CoA concentrations was to alter the proportion of the enzyme catalysing the carboxylation reaction at acetyl-CoA-dependent and -independent rates, the sigmoidicity of the acetyl-CoA velocity profile was completely eliminated.

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.

An Unexpected Role for Acetyl Coenzyme A Carboxylase in Metabolic Control of the Macrophage Acute Inflammatory Response

Project description:Macrophages must rapidly shift their cellular metabolism to facilitate the induction of the proinflammatory response, including activation of lipid synthesis pathways. However, the links between lipid metabolism and polarization in response to inflammatory signals remains unclear. Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase (ACC) is central to lipid synthesis, cellular energy utilization, and acetylation-dependent enzyme activation, but its role in macrophages remains unclear. To interrogate the role of ACC in the inflammatory response, we generated myeloid-specific LysMCre Acacafl/fl Acacbfl/fl ACC double knockout (ACCLysM) mice. Unexpectedly, myeloid-specific deletion or pharmacological inhibition of ACC attenuated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in mice, with decreased gene expression and protein levels of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-1. Using in vitro transcriptomics, lipidomics, and bioenergetics approaches we find that ACC deletion reestablishes the metabolic setpoint in macrophages and is required for metabolic rewiring in response to LPS- but not IL-4-dependent signaling. This translated to blunted phenotypic polarization to proinflammatory but not alternatively activating stimuli. Mechanistically, we identified that the metabolic rewiring that results from ACC deletion increased basal acetylation at histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27Ac), a marker of active enhancers, which was reduced in response to LPS in ACC-deficient BMDMs. The failure of macrophages lacking ACC to adapt their glycolytic metabolism and polarize to inflammatory stimuli impaired macrophage proinflammatory effector functions. Taken together these data identify a novel role for ACC in metabolic and transcriptional regulation of the acute inflammatory response.

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.

A symmetrical tetramer for S. aureus pyruvate carboxylase in complex with coenzyme A.

Project description:Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) is a conserved metabolic enzyme with important cellular functions. We report crystallographic and cryo-electron microscopy (EM) studies of Staphylococcus aureus PC (SaPC) in complex with acetyl-CoA, an allosteric activator, and mutagenesis, biochemical, and structural studies of the biotin binding site of its carboxyltransferase (CT) domain. The disease-causing A610T mutation abolishes catalytic activity by blocking biotin binding to the CT active site, and Thr908 might play a catalytic role in the CT reaction. The crystal structure of SaPC in complex with CoA reveals a symmetrical tetramer, with one CoA molecule bound to each monomer, and cryo-EM studies confirm the symmetrical nature of the tetramer. These observations are in sharp contrast to the highly asymmetrical tetramer of Rhizobium etli PC in complex with ethyl-CoA. Our structural information suggests that acetyl-CoA promotes a conformation for the dimer of the biotin carboxylase domain of PC that might be catalytically more competent.

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.

Structure-guided inhibitor design for human acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase by interspecies active site conversion.

Project description:Inhibition of acetyl-CoA carboxylases (ACCs), a crucial enzyme for fatty acid metabolism, has been shown to promote fatty acid oxidation and reduce body fat in animal models. Therefore, ACCs are attractive targets for structure-based inhibitor design, particularly the carboxyltransferase (CT) domain, which is the primary site for inhibitor interaction. We have cloned, expressed, and purified the CT domain of human ACC2 using baculovirus-mediated insect cell expression system. However, attempts to crystallize the human ACC2 CT domain have not been successful in our hands. Hence, we have been using the available crystal structure of yeast CT domain to design human ACC inhibitors. Unfortunately, as the selectivity of the lead series has increased against the full-length human enzyme, the potency against the yeast enzyme has decreased significantly. This loss of potency against the yeast enzyme correlated with a complete lack of binding of the human-specific compounds to crystals of the yeast CT domain. Here, we address this problem by converting nine key active site residues of the yeast CT domain to the corresponding human residues. The resulting humanized yeast ACC-CT (yCT-H9) protein exhibits biochemical and biophysical properties closer to the human CT domain and binding to human specific compounds. We report high resolution crystal structures of yCT-H9 complexed with inhibitors that show a preference for the human CT domain. These structures offer insights that explain the species selectivity of ACC inhibitors and may guide future drug design programs.

Mechanism for the inhibition of the carboxyltransferase domain of acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase by pinoxaden.

Project description:Acetyl-CoA carboxylases (ACCs) are crucial metabolic enzymes and have been targeted for drug development against obesity, diabetes, and other diseases. The carboxyltransferase (CT) domain of this enzyme is the site of action for three different classes of herbicides, as represented by haloxyfop, tepraloxydim, and pinoxaden. Our earlier studies have demonstrated that haloxyfop and tepraloxydim bind in the CT active site at the interface of its dimer. However, the two compounds probe distinct regions of the dimer interface, sharing primarily only two common anchoring points of interaction with the enzyme. We report here the crystal structure of the CT domain of yeast ACC in complex with pinoxaden at 2.8-Å resolution. Despite their chemical diversity, pinoxaden has a similar binding mode as tepraloxydim and requires a small conformational change in the dimer interface for binding. Crystal structures of the CT domain in complex with all three classes of herbicides confirm the importance of the two anchoring points for herbicide binding. The structures also provide a foundation for understanding the molecular basis of the herbicide resistance mutations and cross resistance among the herbicides, as well as for the design and development of new inhibitors against plant and human ACCs.

Molecular cloning and characterization of two genes for the biotin carboxylase and carboxyltransferase subunits of acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase in Myxococcus xanthus.

Project description:We have cloned a DNA fragment from a genomic library of Myxococcus xanthus using an oligonucleotide probe representing conserved regions of biotin carboxylase subunits of acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) carboxylases. The fragment contained two open reading frames (ORF1 and ORF2), designated the accB and accA genes, capable of encoding a 538-amino-acid protein of 58.1 kDa and a 573-amino-acid protein of 61.5 kDa, respectively. The protein (AccA) encoded by the accA gene was strikingly similar to biotin carboxylase subunits of acetyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA carboxylases and of pyruvate carboxylase. The putative motifs for ATP binding, CO(2) fixation, and biotin binding were found in AccA. The accB gene was located upstream of the accA gene, and they formed a two-gene operon. The protein (AccB) encoded by the accB gene showed high degrees of sequence similarity with carboxyltransferase subunits of acetyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA carboxylases and of methylmalonyl-CoA decarboxylase. Carboxybiotin-binding and acyl-CoA-binding domains, which are conserved in several carboxyltransferase subunits of acyl-CoA carboxylases, were found in AccB. An accA disruption mutant showed a reduced growth rate and reduced acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity compared with the wild-type strain. Western blot analysis indicated that the product of the accA gene was a biotinylated protein that was expressed during the exponential growth phase. Based on these results, we propose that this M. xanthus acetyl-CoA carboxylase consists of two subunits, which are encoded by the accB and accA genes, and occupies a position between prokaryotic and eukaryotic acetyl-CoA carboxylases in terms of evolution.
