Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) is the enzyme that controls no devo fatty acid biogynthesis, and this enzyme catalyzes the carboxylation pathway of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase gene expression was regulated by nutritional and hormonal status. The present study was performed to identify the regulation mechanism of ACC gene promoter I. The fragments of ACC promoter I -1.2-kb region wert recombined to pGL3-Basic vector with luciferase as a reporter gene. The primary hepatocytes from the rat were used to investigate the hormonal regulation of ACC promoter I activity. ACC PI (-1.2)/Luc plasmid was trtransferred into primary hepatocytes using lipofectin. Activity of luciferase was increased two-fold by 10-9M, three-fold by 10-8M, 10-6M, 3.5-fold by 10-6M, and 4.5-fold by 10-7M insulin treatment, respectively. In the presence of dexamethasone (1 $\mu$M), the effects of insulin increased about 1.5-fold, showing the additional effects of dexamethasone. Moreover, the activity of luciferase increased with insulin+dexamethasone, insulin+T3, dexamethasone+T3, and dexamethasone+insulin+T3 treatment approximately 6-, 4-, 6.5-, and 10-fold, respectively. Therefore it can be postulated that 1) these hormones coordinately regulate acetyl-CoA caroxylase gene expression via regulation of promoter activity, 2) the -1.2-kb region of ACC promoter I may have the response element sequences for insulin, dexamethasone, and T3.

Acetyl-CoA carboxylases (ACCs) play critical roles in fatty acid synthesis and oxidation by the catalytic activity of the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA. It is known that ACCs are inactivated through reversible phosphorylation by AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and allosterically activated by citrate. Here, we determined the crystal structures of biotin carboxylase (BC) domain of human ACC2 phosphorylated by AMPK in the presence of citrate in order to elucidate the activation mechanism by citrate. This structure shows that phosphorylated Ser222 is released from the dimer interface, and thereby facilitating the dimerization or oligomerization of the BC domain allosterically. This structural explanation is coincident with the experimental result that the phosphorylated Ser222 was dephosphorylated more easily by protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) as the citrate concentration increases.

The research investigates the inhibition of fatty acid biosynthesis of the human Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase enzyme by the aromatic-structure inhibitors (also known as ligands) containing variables of substituents, contributing an important role in the treatment of fatty-acid metabolic syndrome expressed by the group of cardiovascular risk factors increasing the incidence of coronary heart disease and type-2 diabetes. The effective interoperability between ligand and enzyme is characterized by a 50% concentration of enzyme inhibitor ($IC_{50}$) which was determined by experiment, and the factor of geometry structure of the ligands which are modeled by quantum mechanical methods using HyperChem 8.0.10 and Gaussian 09W softwares, combining with the calculation of quantum chemical and chemico-physical structural parameters using HyperChem 8.0.10 and Padel Descriptor 2.21 softwares. The result data are processed with the combination of classical statistical methods and modern bioinformatics methods using the statistical softwares of Department of Pharmaceutical Technology - Jadavpur University - India and R v3.3.1 software in order to accomplish a model of the quantitative structure - activity relationship between aromatic-structure ligands inhibiting fatty acid biosynthesis of the human Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase.

수용체 접근 방법으로 새로운 제초성 물질을 탐색하기 위하여 acetyl-CoA carboxylase(PDB code: 3K8X)에 대한 2-(4-(6-chloro-2-benzoxazolyl)oxy)phenoxy-N-phenylpropionamide 유도체(1-38)의 분자도킹으로부터 기질분자와 수용체 사이의 상호작용을 정량적으로 검토하였다. 대부분의 기질분자들은 ACCase의 반응점내 아미노산 잔기들(Ala1627 및 Ile1735) 사이에 2개의 수소결합이 생성되었다. 그러나 $R_1$=Acetyl 지환체(6 및 P9)와 같은 기질분자들은 나머지 잔기(Gly1998)를 포함하는 3개의 아미노산 잔기내 수소결합 주게들과 기질분자의 수소결합 받게들 사이에 3개의 수소결합이 생성되었다. 그러므로 수소결합 특성들에 기인한 기질분자들의 ACCase에 대한 저해활성 요소들은 제초성 물질을 최적화하는데 적용될 수 있을것이다.

Overexpression of HER2 in breast cancer cells is considered to induce the expression of acetyl-CoA carboxylase $\alpha$ (ACACA) and fatty acid synthase (FASN) through activation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. Resveratrol, a red wine polyphenol, has been shown to induce apoptosis in several cancers by interfering in several signaling pathways. Present study elucidated the mechanism by which resveratrol downregulates ACACA and FASN in breast cancer cells. Resveratrol activated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and downregulated mTOR in BT-474 cells. These effects of resveratrol were mimicked by AICAR, an AMPK activator, and exogenously expressed constitutively active AMPK, while they were abolished by a dominant-negative mutant of AMPK. The downregulation of mTOR was not accompanied with changes in Akt, the upstream regulator of mTOR. These findings indicate that the downregulation of ACACA and FASN by resveratrol is mediated by the downregulation of mTOR signaling pathway via activation of AMPK.

Objectives of this study were to determine effects of insulin on acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) activity and correlate this activity with relative amounts of ACC in MAC-T cells. MAC-T cells were grown in Medium 199 supplemented with fetal bovine serum (5%), cortisol ($1{\mu}g/ml$), and insulin ($1{\mu}g/ml$). At confuluence, the cells were transferred to $100mm^2$ culture dishes coated with the extracelluar matrix. After 10 h of incubation, the media were replaced with media without fetal bovine serum and the concentration of insulin was lowered to 5 ng/ml. After 24 h, the media were changed to contain the varying concentrations of insulin and incubations continued for 48 h. The addition of insulin resulted in increases in the specific activity of ACC. The maximal effects of insulin on the ACC activity occurred at concentrations of insulin, 1,000 ng/ml. In contrast, the relative change in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in response to increasing insulin concentration was minimal as compared to the effects of insulin on ACC. Transblot and enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) analysis indicated that the increase in ACC activity in MAC-T cells caused by insulin were due to actual increases in amounts of enzyme.

Effects of Mori Folium Ethanol Soluble Fraction (MFESF) on mRNA expression of glucose transporters, acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and leptin were examined in db/db mice. 500 and 1000mg/kg dose for MFESF (designated by SY 500 and SY 1000, respectively) and 5mg/kg dose for acarbose were administered for 6 weeks. Quantitations of glucose transporters (GLUT-2 and GLUT-4), ACC and leptin mRNA were performed by RT-PCR and in vitro transcription with co-amplification of rat ${\beta}$-actin gene as an internal standard. Muscular GLUT-4 mRNA expression in MFESF-treated groups were increased dose dependently. On the other hand, MFESF caused the GLLT-4 and leptin mRNA expressions in adipose tissue to decrease dose dependently, which means that triglyceride synthesis in adipocytes might be decreased and consequently signals adipocytes to inhibit the synthesis and release of leptin. Hepatic ACC mRNA expression in MFESF-treated groups was also decreased. and this may result in lowering of serum triiglyceride level. In contrast, liver GLUT-2 mRNA expressions in MFESF-treated and acarbose groups were increased. Higher rate of glucose uptake into hepatocytes is known to inhibit a phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK)-catalyzed reaction, which is a rate-limiting step in gluconeogenesis.

Long chain fatty acids (LCFAs) are transported into cells via plasma transporters, are activated to fatty acyl-CoA by fatty acyl-CoA synthase (ACS), and enter mitochondria via the carnitine system (CPT1/CACT/CPT2). The mitochondrial carnitine system plays an obligatory role in β-oxidation of LCFAs by catalyzing their transport into the mitochondrial matrix. Fatty acyl-CoAs are oxidized via the β-oxidation pathway, which results in the production of acetyl-CoA. The acetyl-CoA can be imported into the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle for oxidation in the mitochondrial matrix or can be used for malonyl-CoA synthesis by acetyl-CoA carboxylase 2 (ACC2) in the cytoplasm. In skeletal muscle, ACC2 catalyzes the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to form malonyl-CoA, which is a potent endogenous inhibitor of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1). Thus, ACC2 indirectly inhibits the influx of fatty acids into the mitochondria. Fatty acid metabolism can also be regulated by malonyl-CoA-mediated inhibition of CPT1.
