The total cytosol activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (acetyl-CoA:CO(2) ligase (ADP), EC 6.4.1.2) in the liver is known to be 6- to 10-fold higher in genetically obese hyperglycemic mice (C57BL/6J-ob) than in nonobese mice. The results of immunochemical titrations, Ouchterlony double-diffusion analysis, and kinetic and heat inactivation studies indicated that this rise in the level of carboxylase activity in liver extracts from obese mice was ascribed to an increase in the quantity of the enzyme protein, which was indistinguishable from that derived from nonobese mice. Combined immunochemical and isotopic techniques showed that the rate of synthesis of the carboxylase per liver was 7.7-fold higher in obese than in nonobese mice. The rate of degradation of the carboxylase was found to be 1.7-fold lower in obese than in nonobese mice, the half-life being 115 and 67 hr, respectively. These results indicate that the increase in the acetyl-CoA carboxylase content of the liver in obese mice is due mainly to a rise in the rate of enzyme synthesis, and in a minor degree, to a decrease in the rate of enzyme degradation.

Avidin affinity chromatography was used to rapidly purify acetyl-CoA carboxylase to homogeneity in high yield from chicken liver. Dissociation of the purified carboxylase with dodecyl sulfate yielded a single size class of subunit polypeptide of 225,000 daltons. A steady state kinetic analysis of the carboxylase-catalyzed carboxylation of acetyl-CoA gave rise to intersecting line patterns in all double-reciprocal plots of initial velocity with each substrate pair, i.e. ATP . Mg and HCO3(-) and acetyl-CoA. It was concluded that the kinetic mechanism involves a quaternary complex of the enzyme, ADP, Pi, and acetyl-CoA rather than a double displacement as previously believed. The ordered addition of ATP, HCO3(-), and then acetyl-CoA, to the citrate-activated form of the carboxylase is the kinetic mechanism most consistent with the results.

Maize leaf acetyl-CoA carboxylase was purified from whole tissue homogenates by precipitation with polyethylene glycol and ammonium sulfate, and gel filtration. Recoveries were approximately 5% with 100-fold increases in specific activity. The molecular weight of the native enzyme is estimated at 500,000 from the elution volume of a calibrated Ultrogel AcA 22 column. Electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel containing 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate revealed a single subunit of Mr 60,000-61,000. Investigation of the kinetic properties of the purified enzyme indicates that Mg X ATP is the active substrate, with free ATP inhibiting and Mg2+ activating the enzyme. Km's for acetyl-CoA and HCO3- are about 0.1 and 2 mM, respectively. ADP inhibition is competitive with respect to ATP, but uncompetitive with respect to acetyl-CoA. The observed responses of purified acetyl-CoA carboxylase to changes in pH, and in concentrations of Mg2+, ATP, and ADP, and the reported changes in the chloroplastic concentrations of these effectors during light-dark transitions of chloroplasts are consistent with increased acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity upon illumination of chloroplasts.

Rat mammary gland acetyl-CoA carboxylase (acetyl-CoA:carbon dioxide ligase (ADP forming), EC 6.4.1.2) is rapidly and irreversibly inactivated by micromolar concentrations of S-(4-bromo-2,3-dioxobutyl)-CoA (BDB-CoA) or p-hydroxymercuribenzoate (PHMB). Inhibition of both half reactions (i.e., the biotin carboxylation and the carboxyltransferase) catalyzed by acetyl-CoA carboxylase closely parallels loss in overall activity (malonyl-CoA synthesis). The presence of a substrate or product (acetyl-CoA, ATP, ADP, Pi) or inhibitor (palmitoyl-CoA) does not protect the enzyme from inhibition caused by BDB-CoA or PHMB. On the other hand, citrate, an activator of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, affords substantial protection against inhibition by BDB-CoA and PHMB. Covalent modification by BDB-CoA or PHMB appears to lock acetyl-CoA carboxylase in an inactive conformation (15-30 S) that is unable to undergo citrate-induced self-association into the catalytically competent polymeric form.

The steady-state kinetics of two multifunctional isoforms of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) from maize leaves (a major isoform, ACCase1 and a minor isoform, ACCase2) have been investigated with respect to reaction mechanism, inhibition by two graminicides of the aryloxyphenoxypropionate class (quizalofop and fluazifop) and some cellular metabolites. Substrate interaction and product inhibition patterns indicated that ADP and P(i) products from the first partial reaction were not released before acetyl-CoA bound to the enzymes. Product inhibition patterns did not match exactly those predicted for an ordered Ter Ter or a random Ter Ter mechanism, but were close to those postulated for an ordered mechanism. ACCase2 was about 1/2000 as sensitive as ACCase1 to quizalofop but only about 1/150 as sensitive to fluazifop. Fitting inhibition data to the Hill equation indicated that binding of quizalofop or fluazifop to ACCase1 was non-cooperative, as shown by the Hill constant (n(app)) values of 0.86 and 1.16 for quizalofop and fluazifop respectively. Apparent inhibition constant values (K' from the Hill equation) for ACCase1 were 0.054 microM for quizalofop and 21.8 microM for fluazifop. On the other hand, binding of quizalofop or fluazifop to ACCase2 exhibited positive co-operativity, as shown by the (napp) values of 1.85 and 1.59 for quizalofop and fluazifop respectively. K' values for ACCase2 were 1.7 mM for quizalofop and 140 mM for fluazifop. Kinetic parameters for the co-operative binding of quizalofop to maize ACCase2 were close to those of another multifunctional ACCase of limited sensitivity to graminicide, ACC220 from pea. Inhibition of ACCase1 by quizalofop was mixed-type with respect to acetyl-CoA or ATP, but the concentration of acetyl-CoA had the greater effect on the level of inhibition. Neither ACCase1 nor ACCase2 was appreciably sensitive to CoA esters of palmitic acid (16:0) or oleic acid (18:1). Approximate IC50 values were 10 microM (ACCase2) and 50 microM (ACCase1) for both CoA esters. Citrate concentrations up to 1 mM had no effect on ACCase1 activity. Above this concentration, citrate was inhibitory. ACCase2 activity was slightly stimulated by citrate over a broad concentration range (0.25-10 mM). The significance of possible effects of acyl-CoAs or citrate in vivo is discussed.

We have investigated several factors which influence acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) activity in lysed spinach chloroplasts. (1) When assayed after rapid lysis of light-incubated chloroplasts, ACCase activity was 2-fold higher than activity from dark-incubated chloroplasts. Within 5 min after lysis, activity from dark-incubated chloroplasts increased, suggesting a transient inactivation or inhibition of ACCase in the dark. (2) When lysed chloroplast suspensions were incubated with 30 to 100 microM acetyl-CoA before starting assays, activity was 4-fold higher than if suspensions were not preincubated with acetyl-CoA. CoA, malonyl-CoA, propionyl-CoA, and butyryl-CoA also activated ACCase. Full acetyl-CoA activation required MgATP and was essentially complete after 8 min. ACCase activity decreased upon removal of acetyl-CoA by gel filtration and was partially restored by readdition of acetyl-CoA. Thus, ACCase activation by acetyl-CoA was reversible. (3) Dithiothreitol and thioredoxin stimulated ACCase activity, but only in preparations where ACCase activity was low. (4) ACCase was assayed in concentrations of ATP, ADP, NADPH, NADP+, Mg2+, and CO2/HCO-3, which are estimated to occur in the stroma of chloroplasts under illumination or darkness. ACCase activity from lysed chloroplast suspensions was 10-fold higher when illuminated conditions were used. However, this activity was still 5-fold to 10-fold lower than the rates required to sustain known in vivo rates of fatty acid synthesis and in vitro rates achieved under optimum assay conditions with saturating substrates.

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase catalyzes the first committed step in the biosynthesis of long-chain fatty acids. The Escherichia coli form of the enzyme consists of a biotin carboxylase protein, a biotin carboxyl carrier protein, and a carboxyltransferase protein. In this report a system for site-directed mutagenesis of the biotin carboxylase component is described. The wild-type copy of the enzyme, derived from the chromosomal gene, is separated from the mutant form of the enzyme which is coded on a plasmid. Separation of the two forms is accomplished using a histidine-tag attached to the amino terminus of the mutant form of the enzyme and nickel affinity chromatography. This system was used to mutate four active site residues, E211, E288, N290, and R292, to alanine followed by their characterization with respect to several different reactions catalyzed by biotin carboxylase. In comparison to wild-type biotin carboxylase, all four mutant enzymes gave very similar results in all the different assays, suggesting that the mutated residues have a common function. The mutations did not affect the bicarbonate-dependent ATPase reaction. In contrast, the mutations decreased the maximal velocity of the biotin-dependent ATPase reaction 1000-fold but did not affect the Km for biotin. The activity of the ATP synthesis reaction catalyzed by biotin carboxylase where carbamoyl phosphate reacts with ADP was decreased 100-fold by the mutations. The ATP synthesis reaction required biotin to stimulate the activity in the wild-type; however, biotin did not stimulate the activity of the mutant enzymes. The results showed that the mutations have abolished the ability of biotin to increase the activity of the enzyme. Thus, E211, E288, N290, and R292 were responsible, at least in part, for the substrate-induced synergism by biotin in biotin carboxylase.

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase catalyzes the first committed step in the biosynthesis of long-chain fatty acids. The Escherichia coli form of the enzyme consists of a biotin carboxylase activity, a biotin carboxyl carrier protein, and a carboxyltransferase activity. The C-terminal 87 amino acids of the biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP87) form a domain that can be independently expressed, biotinylated, and purified (Chapman-Smith, A., Turner, D. L., Cronan, J. E., Morris, T. W., and Wallace, J. C. (1994) Biochem. J. 302, 881-887). The ability of the biotinylated form of this 87-residue protein (holoBCCP87) to act as a substrate for biotin carboxylase and carboxyltransferase was assessed and compared with the results with free biotin. In the case of biotin carboxylase holoBCCP87 was an excellent substrate with a K(m) of 0.16 +/- 0.05 mM and V(max) of 1000.8 +/- 182.0 min(-1). The V/K or catalytic efficiency of biotin carboxylase with holoBCCP87 as substrate was 8000-fold greater than with biotin as substrate. Stimulation of the ATP synthesis reaction of biotin carboxylase where carbamyl phosphate reacted with ADP by holoBCCP87 was 5-fold greater than with an equivalent amount of biotin. The interaction of holoBCCP87 with carboxyltransferase was characterized in the reverse direction where malonyl-CoA reacted with holoBCCP87 to form acetyl-CoA and carboxyholoBCCP87. The K(m) for holoBCCP87 was 0.45 +/- 0.07 mM while the V(max) was 2031.8 +/- 231.0 min(-1). The V/K or catalytic efficiency of carboxyltransferase with holoBCCP87 as substrate is 2000-fold greater than with biotin as substrate.

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase catalyzes the first committed step in fatty acid synthesis in all plants, animals, and bacteria. The Escherichia coli form is a multimeric protein complex consisting of three distinct and separate components: biotin carboxylase, carboxyltransferase, and the biotin carboxyl carrier protein. The biotin carboxylase component catalyzes the ATP-dependent carboxylation of biotin using bicarbonate as the carboxylate source and has a distinct architecture that is characteristic of the ATP-grasp superfamily of enzymes. Included in this superfamily are d-Ala d-Ala ligase, glutathione synthetase, carbamyl phosphate synthetase, N(5)-carboxyaminoimidazole ribonucleotide synthetase, and glycinamide ribonucleotide transformylase, all of which have known three-dimensional structures and contain a number of highly conserved residues between them. Four of these residues of biotin carboxylase, Lys-116, Lys-159, His-209, and Glu-276, were selected for site-directed mutagenesis studies based on their structural homology with conserved residues of other ATP-grasp enzymes. These mutants were subjected to kinetic analysis to characterize their roles in substrate binding and catalysis. In all four mutants, the K(m) value for ATP was significantly increased, implicating these residues in the binding of ATP. This result is consistent with the crystal structures of several other ATP-grasp enzymes, which have shown specific interactions between the corresponding homologous residues and cocrystallized ADP or nucleotide analogs. In addition, the maximal velocity of the reaction was significantly reduced (between 30- and 260-fold) in the 4 mutants relative to wild type. The data suggest that the mutations have misaligned the reactants for optimal catalysis.

The yeast Pyc1 isoform of pyruvate carboxylase has been further characterized and shown to differ from the Pyc2 isoform in its K(a) for K(+) activation. Pyc1 differs from chicken liver pyruvate carboxylase in the lack of effect of acetyl-CoA on ADP phosphorylation by carbamoyl phosphate, which may be a result of differences in the loci of action of the effector between the two enzymes. Solvent D(2)O isotope effects have been measured with Pyc1 on the full pyruvate carboxylation reaction, the ATPase reaction in the absence of pyruvate, and the carbamoyl phosphate-ADP phosphorylation reaction for the first time for pyruvate carboxylase. Proton inventories indicate that the measured isotope effects are due to a single proton transfer step in the reaction. The inverse isotope effects observed in all reactions suggest that the proton transfer step converts the enzyme from an inactive to an active form. Kinetic measurements on the C249A mutant enzyme suggest that C249 is involved in the binding and action of enzyme activators K(+) and acetyl-CoA. C249 is not involved in ATP binding as was observed for the corresponding residue in the biotin carboxylase subunit of Escherichia coli acetyl-CoA carboxylase, nor is it directly responsible for the measured inverse (D)(k(cat)/K(m)) isotope effects. The size of the inverse isotope effects indicates that they may result from formation of a low-barrier hydrogen bond. Modification of the wild type and C249A mutant with o-phthalaldehyde suggests that C249 is involved in isoindole formation but that the modification of this residue is not directly responsible for the accompanying major loss of enzyme activity.
