Project description:Nε-lysine acetylation in the ER lumen is a recently discovered quality control mechanism that ensures proteostasis within the secretory pathway. The acetyltransferase reaction is carried out by two type-II membrane proteins, ATase1/NAT8B and ATase2/NAT8. Prior studies have shown that reducing ER acetylation can induce reticulophagy, increase ER turnover, and alleviate proteotoxic states. Here, we report the generation of Atase1-/- and Atase2-/- mice and show that these two ER-based acetyltransferases play different roles in the regulation of reticulophagy and macroautophagy. Importantly, knockout of Atase1 alone results in activation of reticulophagy and rescue of the proteotoxic state associated with Alzheimer's disease. Furthermore, loss of Atase1 or Atase2 results in widespread adaptive changes in the cell acetylome and acetyl-CoA metabolism. Overall, our study supports a divergent role of Atase1 and Atase2 in cellular biology, emphasizing ATase1 as a valid translational target for diseases characterized by toxic protein aggregation in the secretory pathway.

Project description:The acetyl-CoA transporter, AT-1 (also referred to as SLC33A1), is a key member of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) acetylation machinery; it transports acetyl-CoA from the cytosol into the ER lumen where it serves as donor of the acetyl group for Nε-lysine acetylation 1,2. Dysfunctional ER acetylation, as caused by heterozygous or homozygous mutations as well as gene duplication events of AT-1/SLC33A1, has been linked to both developmental and age-associated human diseases 3-7. Mice with reduced or increased AT-1 expression mimic associated human diseases 8-10. In this study, we investigated the pervasive effects that dysregulated AT-1 has on intracellular acetyl-CoA homeostasis. Specifically, we used AT-1S113R/+ mice 8, a model of AT-1 haploinsufficiency, and AT-1 sTg mice 10, a model of AT-1 overexpression. We found that reduced AT-1 activity in AT-1S113R/+ mice led to increased availability of acetyl-CoA in the cytosol and spontaneous steatosis. Conversely, increased AT-1 activity decreased the availability of acetyl-CoA in the cytosol and made the animals resistant to diet-induced steatosis. Both models displayed significant metabolic adaptation involving different cellular organelles and compartments. Mechanistically, the metabolic adaptation was driven by changes in both protein levels (proteome) and stoichiometry of acetylation (acetylome) within fundamental pathways. Collectively, our results suggest that AT-1 acts as an important metabolic regulator that maintains acetyl-CoA homeostasis by promoting functional “cross-talk” between different intracellular organelles and compartments.

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.

Project description: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 directchum 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. Genome-wide examination of histone H3 and H4 acetylation, as well as ACSS2 binding, in undifferentiated CAD cells and differentiated CAD neurons; background adjusted by H3 ChIP or Input.

Project description:Liver tumors had high levels of histone acetylation. Nrf2 knockout mice developed fewer tumors than Nrf2 wild-type mice. The mechanistic study found that Nrf2 knockout reduced the generation of acetyl CoA from impaired glycolysis, TCA cycle, and fatty acid metabolism. Acetyl CoA is the substrate for protein acetylation including histone acetylation. Here we determined the genome-wide distribution of AcH3K27. We found that Nrf2 through regulating acetyl CoA production affects histone acetylation (AcH3K27) to modulate the expression of genes, whose products were involved in the glycolysis, TCA cycle, fatty acid metabolism, and oncogenic Myc/mTor signaling. Our findings supported an Nrf2-integrated metabolic, epigenetic and oncogenic signaling in driving liver tumor development.

Project description:Acetyl-CoA participates in post-translational modification of proteins, central carbon and lipid metabolism in several cell compartments. In mammals, the acetyl-CoA transporter 1 (AT1) facilitates the flux of cytosolic acetyl-CoA into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), enabling the acetylation of proteins of the secretory pathway, in concert with dedicated acetyltransferases including Nat8. However, the implication of the ER acetyl-CoA pool in acetylation of ER-transiting proteins and their relevance throughout the parasites’ life cycle is unknown. Here, we evaluated the impact of blocking putative cytosolic acetyl-CoA import on acetylation of proteins through KO of the homologue of AT1 in the parasite Toxoplasma gondii.
