The long noncoding RNA ADIPINT is a gatekeeper of pyruvate carboxylase function regulating human fat cell metabolism
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The pleiotropic function of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) is well recognized, but their direct role in governing metabolic homeostasis is less understood. Here, we describe a human adipocyte-specific lncRNA, ADIPINT, that regulates pyruvate carboxylase (PC), a pivotal enzyme in energy metabolism. With a novel approach, Targeted RNA-protein identification using Orthogonal Organic Phase Separation (TROOPS), and validation with electron microscopy, we show that ADIPINT binds to PC. ADIPINT knockdown alters the interactome and decreases the abundance and enzymatic activty of PC in the mitochondria. Reduced ADIPINT or PC expression lowers adipocyte lipid synthesis, breakdown, and lipid content.
