Abstract
Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase 1 catalyzes the conversion of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA, the committed step of de novo fatty acid synthesis. As a master regulator of lipid synthesis, acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 has been proposed to be a therapeutic target for numerous metabolic diseases. We have shown that acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 activity is reduced in the absence of the lysine acetyltransferase NuA4 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This change in acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 activity is correlated with a change in localization. In wild-type cells, acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 is localized throughout the cytoplasm in small punctate and rod-like structures. However, in NuA4 mutants, acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 localization becomes diffuse. To uncover mechanisms regulating acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 localization, we performed a microscopy screen to identify other deletion mutants that impact acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 localization and then measured acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 activity in these mutants through chemical genetics and biochemical assays. Three phenotypes were identified. Mutants with hyper-active acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 form 1 or 2 rod-like structures centrally within the cytoplasm, mutants with mid-low acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 activity displayed diffuse acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1, while the mutants with the lowest acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 activity (hypomorphs) formed thick rod-like acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 structures at the periphery of the cell. All the acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 hypomorphic mutants were implicated in sphingolipid metabolism or very long-chain fatty acid elongation and in common, their deletion causes an accumulation of palmitoyl-CoA. Through exogenous lipid treatments, enzyme inhibitors, and genetics, we determined that increasing palmitoyl-CoA levels inhibits acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 activity and remodels acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 localization. Together this study suggests yeast cells have developed a dynamic feed-back mechanism in which downstream products of acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 can fine-tune the rate of fatty acid synthesis.
