The presence of activators(AMP and sulphate) or inhibitors(acetyl-CoA) has no influence on the Hill coefficient of the S-shaped [pyruvate]--velocity curve of either the pyruvate-NAD+ overall reaction(h equals 2.5) or that of the pyruvate-K3Fe(CN)6 ACTIVITY OF THE FIRST ENZYME (H EQUALs 1.3). pH STUDIES INDICATED THAT THE Hill coefficient is dependent on subunit ionization within the pyruvate-containing complex and not on those in the free complex. It is concluded that pyruvate conversion rather that pyruvate binding is responsible for the allosteric pattern. The activity is due to absence of a protein kinase, mainly regulated at the acetyl-CoA/CoA, and NADH/NAD+ levels and by the value of the energy charge.

The activity of soluble protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase,EC 2.7.1.37) and pattern of nuclear protein phosphorylation was monitored in cultured rat pineal glands during the induction of serotonin N-acetyltransferase (acetyl-CoA:serotonin N-acetyltransferase;EC 2.3.1.5)by l-isoproterenol. A nuclear protein appears to be phosphorylated during the early stages of enzyme induction but is not phosphorylated at later stages of induction. This correlates well with the need for RNA synthesis associated with the induction process. The nuclear protein was also phosphorylated when the pineal glands were treated with dibutyryl 3':5'-cyclic AMP. The soluble protein kinase activity appeared to decline during mid-to-late stages of enzyme induction, but there was no concomitant increase in the particulate protein kinase activity.

The activities of several hepatic enzymes are preferentially zonated to the periportal or perivenous cells of the liver acinus. Employing dual-digitonin-pulse perfusion of rat liver in the study of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), we have identified a heretofore unrecognized feature of hepatic zonation, namely an intrahepatic gradient in enzyme specific activity. ACC activity shows a relative periportal localization in normally feeding rats, even when corrected for ACC protein mass. In contrast with results previously reported by us [Evans, Quistorff & Witters (1989) Biochem. J. 259, 821-829], the total mass of both hepatic ACC isoenzymes was not found to differ between the two hepatic zones in the present study. In perfusion eluates from fed animals, periportal ACC displays enhanced citrate reactivity and two kinetic components of acetyl-CoA reactivity; the largest periportal/perivenous gradient (5-fold) is accounted for by a species with a lower Km for acetyl-CoA. The zonal gradient in ACC maximal velocity, measured in eluates from fed rats, does not persist after ACC purification, although the isolated periportal enzyme, like dephosphorylated ACC, has a lower activation constant for citrate. Total ACC protein phosphatase activity is higher in periportal eluates, but no differences in the activities of either a 5'-AMP-activated ACC kinase or the cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase are noted between the hepatic zones. The induction of total hepatic ACC mass and specific activity, on fasting/refeeding with a high-carbohydrate diet, abolishes the periportal/perivenous activity gradient, largely owing to a selective activation of perivenous enzyme. Nutritional induction is also accompanied by a marked alteration in ACC acetyl-CoA kinetics and abolition of the gradient in total ACC phosphatase. These studies indicate that hepatic enzyme zonation, which is often attributed to differential expression of enzyme protein, may result from zonal variations in enzyme specific activity, owing to differences in allosteric regulation and/or covalent modification.

The activity of carnitine acetyltransferase (acetyl-CoA:L-carnitine O-acetyltransferase) was found to be at least 50-fold higher than that of choline acetyltransferase in PC12 cells. Nerve growth factor stimulated both enzymes in a parallel manner with respect to concentration of NGF and culture time. The stimulation of both enzymes was completely inhibited by 10 microM 6-thioguanine, an inhibitor of protein kinase N. Results are discussed with reference to the hypothesis that the two enzymes may be functionally related in neuronal cells.

1. We have synthesized two peptides, one based on the exact sequence around the unique site (Ser79) for the AMP-activated protein kinase on rat acetyl-CoA carboxylase (SSMS peptide) and another in which the serine residue corresponding to the site for cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase (Ser77) was replaced by alanine (SAMS peptide). 2. Both peptides were phosphorylated with similar kinetics by the AMP-activated protein kinase, but only the SSMS peptide was a substrate for cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase. The SAMS peptide was not phosphorylated by any of five other purified protein kinases tested. 3. The Km of AMP-activated protein kinase for the SAMS peptide is higher than that for acetyl-CoA carboxylase, but the Vmax for peptide phosphorylation is 2.5 times higher than that of its parent protein. This peptide therefore gives a convenient and sensitive assay for the AMP-activated protein kinase. 4. Acetyl-CoA-carboxylase kinase and peptide kinase activities copurify through six steps from a post-mitochondrial supernatant of rat liver, showing that the SAMS peptide is a specific substrate for the AMP-activated protein kinase in this tissue. We could not demonstrate AMP-dependence of the kinase activity in crude preparations, apparently due to endogenous AMP remaining bound to the enzyme. However, 8-bromoadenosine 5-monophosphate (Br8AMP) is a partial agonist at the allosteric (AMP) site, and inhibition by 2 mM Br8AMP can be used to test that one is measuring the AMP-stimulated form of the kinase. 5. Using this approach, we have examined the kinase activity in nine different rat tissues, plus a mouse macrophage cell line, and find that there is a correlation between tissues expressing significant levels of peptide kinase activity and those active in the synthesis or storage of lipids. 6. We also use the peptide assay to show that cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase does not activate purified AMP-activated protein kinase, and does not affect the activation of partially purified AMP-activated protein kinase by endogenous kinase kinase.

Protein kinase strong-associated with acetyl-CoA-carboxylase is isolated from the liver of chicken and 300-fold purified with alimentary intensification of lipogenesis and under the effect of nicotinic acid against this background. The obtained enzymes are studied comparatively. It is found that their preparations are phosphorylated with different rate, have two pH optima and differ in the sensitivity to cAMP and to thermostable protein inhibitor. The hydrophobic chromatography was used to separate components of the acetyl-CoA-carboxylase-protein kinase complex and to reveal in the chicken liver cAMP-dependent and cAMP-independent protein kinases highly specific to acetyl-CoA-carboxylase and strongly bound with it.

The mechanism underlying the ability of insulin to acutely activate acetyl-CoA carboxylase [acetyl-CoA: carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming), EC 6.4.1.2; AcCoA-Case] has been examined in Fao Reuber hepatoma cells. Insulin promotes the rapid activation of AcCoACase, as measured in cell lysates, and this stimulation persists to the same degree after isolation of AcCoACase by avidin-Sepharose chromatography. The insulin-stimulated enzyme, as compared with control enzyme, exhibits an increase in both citrate-independent and -dependent activity and a decrease in the Ka for citrate. Direct examination of the phosphorylation state of isolated 32P-labeled AcCoACase after insulin exposure reveals a marked decrease in total enzyme phosphorylation coincident with activation. The dephosphorylation due to insulin appears to be restricted to the phosphorylation sites previously shown to regulate AcCoACase activity. All of these effects of insulin are mimicked by a low molecular weight autocrine factor, tentatively identified as an oligosaccharide, present in conditioned medium of hepatoma cells. These data suggest that insulin may activate AcCoACase by inhibiting the activity of protein kinase(s) or stimulating the activity of protein phosphatase(s) that control the phosphorylation state of the enzyme.

Incubation of rat splenic microsomes with the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in the presence of Mg-ATP stimulated 2-3-fold lyso-platelet-activating factor: acetyltransferase activity. This activation was due to an increase in the Vmax of the acetylation reaction, whereas the Km for acetyl-CoA was not affected. The ATP derivative, AMPPNP, could not replace ATP and preincubation of the microsomes with the heat-stable inhibitor of protein kinase prevented the activation by Mg-ATP obtained in the presence of the protein kinase. Activation of the acetylation reaction by the protein kinase was reversible. Evidence is provided that the reversal of activation is due to dephosphorylation of the enzyme. These data provide evidence that in vitro lyso-platelet-activating factor: acetyltransferase from splenic microsomes is regulated by phosphorylation.

The biosynthesis of fatty acids in the chicken liver was stimulated by feeding up chickens with high-carbon products. After fasting the cAMP content and protein kinase activity in chicken fall considerably as compared to the control. After administration of nicotinic acid to chicken under experiment the content of cAMP and the protein kinase activity in the liver tissue rise to the highest extent, returning to initial values by the end of the day. The maximal increase in the cAMP content and protein kinase activity coincides in time with the maximum of the acetyl-CoA-carboxylase activity decrease. An assumption is advanced that biosynthesis of fatty acids in the liver tissue of chickens is regulated by a change in the degree of acetyl-CoA-carboxylase phosphorylation with the participation of adenylate cyclase system.

The paper deals with the analysis of data available in literature and those of the authors' own investigations concerning the structure, properties and regulation of acetyl-CoA-carboxylase. Nicotinic acid is one of the factors regulating the enzyme activity in the animal liver. It inhibits the acetyl-CoA-carboxylase activity through two mechanisms--allosteric regulation and covalent modification. A comparative characteristic of the studied enzyme preparations has shown that administration of nicotinic acid to animals leads to phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA-carboxylase which affects its structure. A complex with homogenic acetyl-CoA-carboxylase is found to contain cAMP-independent and cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The phosphorylation is controlled by citrate competing with nicotinic acid for the coupling sites.
