Preincubation in assay mixture for 30 min at 37 degrees C of ATP citrate lyase from rat brain and liver results in 65-70% inhibition in the presence of 10 mM L-glutamate. This inhibition is specific since none of the known brain metabolites of glutamate shows this effect. ATP and ammonium sulphate-suspended, commercially purified malate dehydrogenase are both important in the generation of inhibition; citrate and NADH are not. The ATP citrate lyase activity in desalted crude extracts and 11% polyethylene glycol-precipitated fractions is inhibited but the enzyme purified by dye affinity chromatography is unaffected. Such purification reveals the presence of a factor responsible for the generation of the inhibition shown to be of Mr 380,000. These lines of evidence implicate endogenous glutamine synthetase, and the involvement of this enzyme is established by the use of its inhibitor L-methionine sulphoximine and by the addition of purified glutamine synthetase to restore the glutamate inhibition of purified ATP citrate lyase. The phenomenon probably arises from the production by glutamine synthetase of ADP, a known product inhibitor of ATP citrate lyase. Therefore contrary to previous reports elsewhere, L-glutamate has no role in the regulation of brain ATP citrate lyase and thus the supply of cytoplasmic acetyl groups for biosynthesis. 相似文献

Citrate lyase (EC 4.1.3.6) was purified 38-fold from cell-free extracts of Streptococcus diacetilactis. The enzyme was homogeneous in analytical ultracentrifugation and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis The final enzyme preparation contained acetate: HS-citrate lyase ligase—an acetylating enzyme which converts inactive HS-citrate lyase into enzymatically active acetyl-S-citrate lyase. This enzyme activity was purified 25-fold over the crude extract and seemed to be associated with citrate lyase. Partially purified citrate lyase from Leuconostoc citrovorum contained also its acetylating enzyme. Purified citrate lyases from Klebsiella aerogenes and Rhodopseudomonas gelatinosa were devoid of acetylating enzyme activity. The HS-form of citrate lyase from S. diacetilactis was completely acetylated and hence activated by incubation with ATP and acetate for 25 min at 25° C. The enzyme did not acetylate the HS-lyases from R. gelatinosa and K. aerogenes. In contrast to the citrate lyases from R. gelatinosa and K. aerogenes the enzymes from S. diacetilactis and L. citrovorum showed onlya very weak reaction inactivation. It is assumed that this is due to the association of the acetylating enzymes with these lyases. 相似文献

The relative amounts of mRNAs coding for fatty-acid synthase (EC 2.3.1.85), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.2), ATP citrate lyase (EC 4.1.3.8) and malic enzyme (EC 1.1.1.40) were determined in lungs and livers of adult rats that were normally fed, starved for 48 h or starved for 48 h and subsequently refed for 72 h with a carbohydrate-rich, fat-free diet. In the liver, starvation caused a small decrease in the relative abundance of the mRNAs which was not statistically significant. Subsequent refeeding caused a statistically significant increase in mRNAs for all of the enzymes studied. In the lung, no significant changes were found, indicating that the regulation of the abundance of mRNAs encoding the lipogenic enzymes in the lung differs from that in the liver. In the developing rat lung, mRNA for fatty-acid synthase increased 3-fold in abundance between fetal days 18 and 20 and decreased directly after birth (at day 22 of gestation). A similar pattern was observed for ATP citrate lyase mRNA. The level of acetyl-CoA carboxylase mRNA decreased significantly after birth. These observations indicate that in perinatal rat lungs, pretranslational regulation is involved in the control of the synthesis of these enzymes. The abundance of acetyl-CoA carboxylase mRNA did not change in the prenatal period, a time during which the specific activity of this enzyme increases. This lack of correlation between the specific activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and the abundance of its mRNA may indicate that translational regulation of the synthesis of the enzyme or post-synthetic regulatory effects on enzyme molecules are involved in the control of this enzyme in the prenatal period. No changes in the abundance of lung malic enzyme mRNAs were observed throughout the perinatal period. 相似文献

The Contribution of Citrate to the Synthesis of Acetyl Units in Synaptosomes of Developing Rat Brain 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
Abstract: The activities of pyruvate dehydrogenase, citrate synthase, and choline acetyltransferase in rat brain synaptosomes increased during on-togenesis by 3 and 14 times, respectively. Activity of ATP-citrate lyase decreased by 26% during the same period. Pyruvate consumption by synapto-somes from 1-day-old animals was 40% lower than that found in older rats; however, citrate efflux from intrasynaptosomal mitochondria in immature synaptosomes was over twice as high as that in mature ones. The rates of production of synaptoplasmic acetyl-CoA, ATP-citrate lyase were 1.03, 1.40, and 0.49 nmol/min/mg protein in 1-, 10-day-old, and adult rats, respectively. 3-Bromopyruvate (0.5 m M ) inhibited pyruvate consumption by 70% and caused a complete block of citrate utilization by citrate lyase in every age group. Parameters of citrate metabolism in cerebellar synaptosomes were the same as those in cerebral ones. These data indicate that production of acetyl-CoA. from citrate in synaptoplasm may be regulated either by adaptative, age-dependent changes in permeability and carrier capacity of the mitochondrial membrane or by the inhibition of synthesis of intramitochondrial acetyl-CoA. ATP-citrate lyase activity is not a rate-limiting factor in this process. Metabolic fluxes of pyruvate to cytoplasmic citrate and acetyl-CoA. are presumably the same in both cholinergic and noncholinergic nerve endings. The significance of citrate release from intrasynaptosomal mitochondria as a regulatory step in acetylcholine synthesis is discussed. 相似文献

Activities of five enzymes (pyruvate dehydrogenase complex; citrate synthase, EC 4.1.3.7; carnitine acetyltransferase, EC 2.3.1.7; acetyl-CoA synthetase, EC 6.2.1.1; and ATP citrate lyase, EC 4.1.3.8) were determined in cell bodies of anterior horn cells and dorsal root ganglion cells from the rabbit. For comparison, molecular layer, granular layer and white matter from rabbit and mouse cerebella and cerebral cortex and striatum from the mouse were analyzed. Samples (3–85 ng dry weight) were assayed in 180 to 370 ml of assay reagents containing CoASH and other substrates in excess. By using ‘CoA cycling’, the assay systems were devised to amplify and measure small amounts of acetyl-CoA formed during the enzyme reactions. Carnitine acetyltransferase was the most active enzyme in single nerve cell bodies and all layer samples, except for rabbit and mouse cerebellar white matter. Citrate synthetase was the lowest in single cell bodies. The activities of carnitine acetyltransferase and acetyl-CoA synthetase (656 and 89.8 mmoles of acetyl-CoA formed/kg of dry weight/h at 38°C) from dorsal root ganglion cells were about 2-fold higher than those from anterior horn cells. The activity of ATP citrate lyase (134mmol of acetyl-CoA formed/kg of dry weight/h at 38°C) from anterior horn cells was approximately twice that from dorsal root ganglion cells. The activity of this enzyme was distributed in a wider range in anterior horn cells than dorsal root ganglion cells. The second highest activity (80.0 mmol of acetyl-CoA formed/kg of dry weight/h at 38°C) of ATP citrate lyase was found in striatum where cholinergic interneurones are abundant. Relatively higher activities of this enzyme were found in cerebellar granular layer and white matter which are known to contain the cholinergic mossy fibers. These results suggested that cholinergic neurones contain higher activity of ATP citrate lyase which is thought to supply acetyl-CoA to choline acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.6) as a substrate to form acetylcholine. 相似文献

Citrate metabolism in anaerobic bacteria 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Abstract The regulation of anaerobic citrate metabolism is very diverse among different groups of bacteria. In organisms like Streptococcus lactis and Clostridium sporosphaeroides which lack citrate synthase, the activity of its antagonistic enzyme, citrate lyase, need not be regulated. Many anaerobes like Rhodocyclus gelatinosus and Clostridium sphenoides are able to synthesize their own l -glutamate and contain citrate synthase. In these bacteria the activity of citrate metabolizing enzymes which are involved in a cascade system are under strict control. In Rc. gelatinosus activation/inactivation of citrate lyase is controlled by acetylation/deacetylation which is catalyzed by its corresponding regulatory enzymes, citrate lyase ligase and citrate lyase deacetylase. In C. sphenoides inactivation of citrate lyase is accomplished by deacetylation as well as by changing in the enzyme conformation. Activation of citrate lyase is catalyzed by citrate lyase ligase whose activity in addition is modulated by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation. Further, electron transport process also seems to play a role in the inactivation of citrate metabolizing enzymes in enteric bacteria. 相似文献

ATP citrate lyase (ACL) is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate using citrate, CoA, and ATP as substrates and Mg2+ as a necessary cofactor. The ACL-dependent synthesis of acetyl-CoA is thought to be an essential step for the de novo synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol. For this reason, inhibition of ACL has been pursued as a strategy to treat dyslipidemia and obesity. Traditionally, ACL enzyme activity is measured indirectly by coupling to enzymes such as malate dehydrogenase or chloramphenicol acetyl transferase. In this report, however, we describe a novel procedure to directly measure ACL enzyme activity. We first identified a convenient method to specifically detect [14C]acetyl-CoA without detecting [14C]citrate by MicroScint-O. Using this detection system, we devised a simple, direct, and homogeneous ACL assay in 384-well plate format that is suitable for high-throughput screening. The current assay consists of 1) incubation of ACL enzyme with [14C]citrate and other substrates/cofactors CoA, ATP, and Mg2+, 2) EDTA quench, 3) addition of MicroScint-O, the agent that specifically detects product [14C]acetyl-CoA, and 4) detection of signal by TopCount. This unique ACL assay may provide more efficient identification of new ACL inhibitors and allow detailed mechanistic characterization of ACL/inhibitor interactions. 相似文献

The Interaction of Dithiothreitol and Acetyl Coenzyme A in a Radiochemical Assay for Rat Brain ATP:Citrate Oxaloacetate Lyase 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
J. Simpson 《Journal of neurochemistry》1981,37(1):100-106
Abstract: [14 C]Acetyl-CoA was found to react spontaneously with dithiothreitol to give a relatively apolar product which was readily extractable into a butanol-toluene scintillant. This technique was used in a rapid, reproducible assay for rat brain ATP:citrate lyase using [1,5-14 C]citrate as substrate. The tissue extract, a 14,000 g supernatant, exhibited a lyase activity of approximately 7 nmol acetyl-CoA produced/min per mg supernatant protein, and was inhibited ≥79% by α-ketoglutaric acid (10 m m ), Cu2+ (1 m m )and Zn2+ (1 m m ). [14 C]Oxaloacetate, [14 C]malate and endogenous citrate synthase were found not to interfere significantly with lyase estimations, but NADH was required in the reaction mixture to inhibit acetyl-CoA hydrolase activity. 相似文献

1. Changes in the activities of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.2), phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11), aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13), extramitochondrial aconitate hydratase (EC 4.2.1.3) and NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.42) have been measured in the livers of developing rats from late foetal life to maturity. 2. The effect of altering the weaning time on some enzymes associated with lipogenesis has been studied. Weaning rats at 15 days of age instead of 21 days results in an immediate increase in the activity of ;malic' enzyme (EC 1.1.1.40) whereas the activities of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49) and ATP citrate lyase (EC 4.1.3.8) did not increase until 4-5 days and acetyl-CoA carboxylase 2-3 days after early weaning. Weaning rats on to an artificial-milk diet led to complete repression of the rise in activity of hepatic enzymes associated with lipogenesis normally found on weaning, except for ;malic' enzyme, which increased in activity after 20 days of age. 3. The effect of intraperitoneal injections of glucagon, cortisol, growth hormone and thyroxine on the same hepatic enzymes has been investigated. Only thyroxine had any effect on enzyme activities and caused a 20-fold increase in ;malic' enzyme activity and a twofold increase in ATP citrate lyase activity. 4. The activities of hepatic glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and ;malic' enzyme are higher in adult female than in adult male rats and it has been shown that this sex difference in enzyme activities is due to both male and female sex hormones. 5. Hepatic malate, citrate, pyruvate, glucose 6-phosphate and phosphoenolpyruvate concentrations have been measured throughout development. 6. The results are discussed in relation to the dietary and hormonal control of hepatic enzyme activities during development. 相似文献

Vitamin B12 deficiency has been shown to result in an increase in content and activity of the hepatic cytosolic enzymes of fatty acid synthesis. The present study demonstrated that ATP citrate lyase, an enzyme whose activity has been positively correlated with rates of fatty acid biosynthesis, also increased in the livers of B12-deficient animals. Total and specific activity of hepatic citrate synthase, an enzyme whose activity is unaffected by a variety of dietary and hormonal changes, also was found to be increased in the B12-deprived state. By contrast, the activity of hepatic succinate-cytochrome c reductase, a portion of a multicomponent enzyme complex synthesized in part within the mitochondria, was unchanged in B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 deprivation resulted in an increase in hepatic mitochondrial cristae membranes in both animals and man. Histochemical and chemical analysis demonstrated increased glycogen in the liver cells from B12-deficient animals and man. Thus, in the livers from vitamin B12-deficient animals there is an increased activity of the otherwise highly constant Krebs cycle enzyme citrate synthase, and in both animals and man there are increased mitochondrial cristae membranes. 相似文献

ATP citrate lyase (ACL) catalyses the ATP-dependent reaction between citrate and CoA to form oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA. Our molecular characterizations of the cDNAs and genes coding for the Arabidopsis ACL indicate that the plant enzyme is heteromeric, consisting of two dissimilar subunits. The A subunit is homologous to the N-terminal third of the animal ACL, and the B subunit is homologous to C-terminal two-thirds of the animal ACL. Using both ACL-A- and ACL-B-specific antibodies and activity assays we have shown that ACL is located in the cytosol, and is not detectable in the plastids, mitochondria or peroxisomes. During seed development, ACL-A and ACL-B mRNA accumulation is co-ordinated with the accumulation of the cytosolic homomeric acetyl-CoA carboxylase mRNA. Antisense Arabidopsis plants reduced in ATP citrate lyase activity show a complex phenotype, with miniaturized organs, small cell size, aberrant plastid morphology and reduced cuticular wax. Our results indicate that ACL generates the cytosolic pool of acetyl-CoA, which is the substrate required for the biosynthesis of a variety of phytochemicals, including cuticular waxes and flavonoids. 相似文献

Metabolic adaptations during lactogenesis. Fatty acid synthesis in rabbit mammary tissue during pregnancy and lactation 总被引:4,自引:4,他引:4
1. Mammary tissue was obtained from rabbits at various stages of pregnancy and lactation and used for tissue-slice incubations (to measure the rate of fatty acid synthesis and CO(2) production) and to determine relevant enzymic activities. A biphasic adaptation in fatty acid synthetic capacity during lactogenesis was noted. 2. The first lactogenic response occurred between day 15 and 24 of pregnancy. Over this period fatty acid synthesis (from acetate) increased 14-fold and the proportions of fatty acids synthesized changed to those characteristic of milk fat (77-86% as C(8:0)+C(10:0) acids). 3. The second lactogenic response occurred post partum as indicated by increased rates of fatty acid synthesis and CO(2) production (from acetate and glucose) and increased enzymic activities. 4. Major increases in enzymic activities between mid-pregnancy and lactation were noted for ATP citrate lyase (EC 4.1.3.8), acetyl-CoA synthetase (EC 6.2.1.1), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.2), fatty acid synthetase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49), and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.44). Smaller increases in activity occurred with glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.8) and NADP(+)-isocitrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.42) and the activity of NADP(+)-malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.40) was negligible at all periods tested. 5. During pregnancy and lactation there was a close temporal relationship between fatty acid synthetic capacity and the activities of ATP citrate lyase (r=0.94) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (r=0.90). 相似文献

Presence and regulation of ATP:citrate lyase from the citric acid producing fungus Aspergillus niger
ATP:citrate lyase (EC 4.1.3.8) has been identified in cell-free extracts from the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger. The enzyme was located in the cytosol. It exhibits an activity at least ten times that of acetate-CoA-kinase (EC 6.2.1.1) during growth on carbohydrates as carbon sources, and is thus considered responsible for acetyl-CoA formation under these conditions. It is formed constitutively and its biosynthesis does not appear to be controlled by changes in the nitrogen or carbon source or type. ATP:citrate-lyase appears to be very labile during conventional purification procedures; a method involving fast protein liquid anion exchange chromatography was thus developed in order to obtain enzyme preparations sufficiently free of enzymes which could interfere with kinetic investigations. This preparation displays commonly known characteristics of ATP:citrate lyase with respect to substrate affinities and cofactor requirements, with the exception that the affinity for citrate is rather low (2.5 mM). No activator was found. The enzyme is inhibited by nucleoside diphosphates, nucleoside monophosphates and palmitoyl-CoA. Regulation of ATP:citrate lyase be the energy charge of the cytosol in relation to lipid or citric acid accumulation is discussed in view of these findings.

ATP citrate lyase (EC 4.1.3.8) has been found in crude extracts from endosperm tissue of germinating castor bean and shows its maximum activity in 4- to 5-day-old seedlings. A strict requirement for coenzyme A and adenosine 5′-triphosphate was demonstrated. The pH optimum for the reaction is around 7.5. The unstable enzyme can be stabilized by freezing and addition of citrate and glycerol. (−)-Hydroxycitrate is a potent inhibitor. The molecular weight is about 400,000. The adenosine 5′-triphosphate citrate lyase is localized in the plastids, where it possibly plays a role in providing acetyl coenzyme A for lipid biosynthesis. 相似文献

Methods are described for the assay of ATP citrate (pro-3S)-lyase (EC 4.1.3.8) and acetyl-CoA synthetase (EC 6.2.1.1) activity in crude tissue extracts. Arylamine acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.5) and p-nitroaniline serve as indicator system in these tests. The methods have several advantages with respect to other optical enzyme assays. They are more sensitive than NADH- or hydroxylamine-dependent methods due to the higher molar extinction coefficient of p-nitroaniline, which was redetermined under assay conditions. The assay is independent of nonspecific “NADH oxidase” activity. Continuous readings of the optical density can be performed. Specific activities of ATP citrate-lyase and acetyl-CoA synthetase have been measured in livers of starved and refed rats. Carbohydraterich refeeding leads to an increase in both enzyme activities. A modification of the biuret method for the use in lipid-rich tissue extracts is described. 相似文献

ATP:citrate lyase was purified from the oleaginous yeast Rhodotorula gracilis to homogeneity as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, using a novel citrate-Sepharose procedure. The enzyme was found to have a molecular weight of 520,000 and consisted of four identical subunits (Mr = 120,000). Two minor low molecular weight bands were observed on SDS-PAGE (Mr 51,000 and 49,000). Trypsin digestion experiments indicated that these could have been the result of limited proteolysis by an endogenous trypsin-like proteinase. In this respect, it resembles the mammalian ATP:citrate lyase. The enzyme was stimulated by NH+4 ions and inhibited by palmitoyl, lauroyl, oleoyl, myristoyl and stearoyl-CoA esters, glutamate and glucose 6-phosphate but not by acetyl-CoA or shorter chain fatty acyl-CoA esters. The enzyme exhibited normal Michaelis-Menten kinetics for citrate; however there was a 3-fold increase in Km with a high concentration of Cl- ions (0.25 M). The possible regulatory roles of ATP:citrate lyase in R. gracilis are discussed in the light of these findings. 相似文献

The relationship between fatty acid binding proteins, ATP citrate lyase activity and fatty acid synthesis in developing human
placenta has been studied. Fatty acid binding proteins reverse the inhibitory efect of palmitoyl-CoA and oleate on ATP citrate
lyase and fatty acid synthesis. In the absence of these inhibitors fatty acid binding proteins activate ATP citrate lyase
and stimulate [ 1-14 C] acetate incorporation into placental fatty acids indicating binding of endogenous inhibitors by these proteins. Thus these
proteins regulate the supply of acetyl-CoA as well as the synthesis of fatty acids from that substrates. As gestation proceeds
and more lipids are required by the developing placenta fatty acid binding protein content, activity of ATP citrate lyase
and rate of fatty acid synthesis increase indicating a cause and efect relationship between the demand of lipids and supply
of precursor fatty acids during human placental development. 相似文献

Protein kinase activity in high-speed supernatant fractions prepared from rat epididymal adipose tissue previously incubated in the absence or presence of insulin was investigated by following the incorporation of 32P from [gamma-32P]ATP into phosphoproteins separated by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electro-phoresis. Incorporation of 32P into several endogenous proteins in the supernatant fractions from insulin-treated tissue was significantly increased. These included acetyl-CoA carboxylase and ATP citrate lyase (which exhibit increased phosphorylation within fat-cells exposed to insulin), together with two unknown proteins of subunit Mr 78000 and 43000. The protein kinase activity increased by insulin was distinct from cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, was not dependent on Ca2+ and was not appreciably affected by dialysis or gel filtration. The rate of phosphorylation of added purified fat-cell acetyl-CoA carboxylase and ATP citrate lyase was also increased by 60-90% in high-speed-supernatant fractions prepared from insulin-treated tissue. No evidence for any persistent changes in phosphoprotein phosphatase activity was found. It is concluded that insulin action on acetyl-CoA carboxylase, ATP citrate lyase and other intracellular proteins exhibiting increased phosphorylation involves an increase in cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase activity in the cytoplasm. The possibility that the increase reflects translocation from the plasma membrane, perhaps after phosphorylation by the protein tyrosine kinase associated with insulin receptors, is discussed. 相似文献

A simple two-step procedure is described for the purification of rat liver ATP citrate lyase with an overall yield of upt to 70%. In binding experiments on Blue Sepharose CL-6B (an affinity gel for nucleotide-specific enzymes) it is observed that ATP citrate lyase recognizes ATP and CoA as well as ADP, 3'-AMP, and NADP, but not 5'-AMP, NAD, or adenosine. It is further demonstrated that ATP citrate lyase is activated by various anions including chloride, hydrogen carbonate, and acetate. The highest specific activity of the enzyme is found in adipose tissue of various origins. Activities are also present in the adrenals, in liver, and intestine, in brain, and in lung. No measurable enzyme activity is found in heart, skeletal muscle, and in the kidneys. 相似文献

1. A radiochemical microtest was established for the determination of ATP citrate lyase in tissue samples of 0.2-1.0 micrograms dry weight. The specificity of this test system was guaranteed by its coenzyme A dependence as well as by inhibition of the activity measured in presence of a specific antibody. 2. Using this test system ATP citrate lyase activity was determined in microdissected periportal and perivenous liver tissue of fed, fasted and refed animals. The perivenous activity was 1.8-fold and 2.4-fold higher than the periportal one in fed male and female rats respectively. 3. The perivenous to periportal gradient was decreased during starvation-dependent reduction of the ATP citrate lyase activity. On the other hand it was not only restored but enhanced up to 2.8 after refeeding-dependent enhancement of the enzyme activity. 4. The predominance of the ATP citrate lyase activity in the perivenous, mainly glycolytic zone supports the hypothesis of the coordinate zonation of the carbohydrate and the lipid metabolism in the liver parenchyma. 相似文献
