Acetyl-CoA carboxylase alpha (ACCα or ACACA) is a crucial enzyme in fatty acid biosynthesis. This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA, a key step in the production of fatty acids. This enzyme plays a vital role in various cellular functions, including energy storage, membrane formation, and hormone production. The activity of Acetyl-CoA carboxylase alpha is tightly regulated by factors such as insulin, glucagon, and dietary fat intake, ensuring a balance between fatty acid synthesis and catalysis. Phosphorylation at serine 79 (Ser79) is a critical regulatory mechanism in response to changes in energy status and nutrient availability. This specific phosphorylation event inhibits the enzyme activity, thereby reducing the production of malonyl-CoA, a key precursor in fatty acid synthesis. Dysregulation of Acetyl-CoA carboxylase alpha is associated with several metabolic disorders, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and certain cancers. Hence, targeting Acetyl-CoA carboxylase alpha can help reduce lipid accumulation and alleviate mitochondrial dysfunction, making it a potential therapeutic target for these conditions.

- Function
-
Function:
- Fatty Acid Biosynthesis: Catalyzes the conversion of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA, a crucial step in fatty acid synthesis
- Energy Storage: Plays a role in storing energy by facilitating the production of fatty acids, which are later stored as triglycerides
- Membrane Formation: Contributes to the synthesis of fatty acids that are essential components of cell membranes
- Hormone Production: Involved in the biosynthesis of fatty acids that serve as precursors for various hormones
Regulation: -Phosphorylation:
- Inhibition: Phosphorylation at serine 79 (Ser79) inhibits ACCα activity, reducing fatty acid synthesis
- Activation: Dephosphorylation activates ACCα, promoting fatty acid synthesis
Hormonal Control:
- Insulin: Activates ACCα, enhancing fatty acid synthesis
- Glucagon and Epinephrine: Inhibit ACCα, reducing fatty acid synthesis
Nutrient Availability:
- High Carbohydrate Diet: Increases ACCα activity
- High Fat Diet: Decreases ACCα activity - Interaction
-
BRCA1: In its inactive phosphorylated form, ACCα interacts with the BRCT domains of BRCA1, which prevents ACCα dephosphorylation and inhibits lipid synthesis.
MID1IP1: This interaction promotes the oligomerization of ACCα, increasing its enzymatic activity.
AMPK (Adenosine Monophosphate-Activated Protein Kinase): Phosphorylates ACCα, leading to its inactivation and subsequent inhibition of lipid synthesis
Actin Filaments: ACCα can associate with actin filaments, which may help regulate its activity and localization. - Antigen References
