Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence analysis of HepG2 (Human hepatocellular carcinoma epithelial cell) cells labeling ACSS2 with purified ab133664 at 1 : 200 dilution (8.5 μg/ml). Cells were fixed in 4% Paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% tritonX-100. Cells were counterstained with ab195889 Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker (Alexa Fluor® 594) 1 : 200 (2.5 μg/ml). Goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488, ab150077) was used as the secondary antibody at 1 : 1000 (2 μg/ml) dilution. DAPI (blue) was used as nuclear counterstain. PBS instead of the primary antibody was used as the secondary antibody only control.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab133664).

Supplementary information

ACSS2 also known as acyl-CoA synthetase short-chain family member 2 plays an important role in acetate metabolism and energy generation. This enzyme is responsible for the conversion of acetate into acetyl-CoA an essential metabolite in cellular processes. ACSS2 has a molecular mass of approximately 73 kDa and its expression occurs mainly in liver brain and testis tissues highlighting its widespread physiological relevance.
Biological function summary

ACSS2 regulates cellular energy homeostasis by producing acetyl-CoA for energy production and biosynthetic reactions. This enzyme provides the necessary substrate for the synthesis of fatty acids cholesterol and acetylation of proteins impacting cellular metabolism and function. ACSS2 operates independently and does not form part of any known enzyme complex emphasizing its unique role in acetate utilization.

Pathways

ACSS2 functions as a central component of lipid metabolism and the acetyl-CoA positioned pathways. It integrates into the glycolysis-associated pathways when it contributes to the energy-producing acetyl-CoA pool. ACSS2 interacts with other metabolic enzymes like ATP citrate lyase in controlling the balance of acetyl-CoA production which is important for both lipid synthesis and energy metabolism.

Abnormalities in ACSS2 activity have links to conditions like cancer and metabolic syndrome. Alterations in the expression or function of ACSS2 can affect energy metabolism contributing to the growth and survival of cancer cells. Additionally the protein's dysregulation might play a role in metabolic syndrome associated with improper lipid and glucose homeostasis. ACSS2 interacts with oncogenes and metabolic regulators such as AMPK emphasizing its relevance in disease modulation.

Target data

Catalyzes the synthesis of acetyl-CoA from short-chain fatty acids (PubMed : 10843999, PubMed : 28003429, PubMed : 28552616). Acetate is the preferred substrate (PubMed : 10843999, PubMed : 28003429). Can also utilize propionate with a much lower affinity (By similarity). Nuclear ACSS2 promotes glucose deprivation-induced lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy, tumor cell survival and brain tumorigenesis (PubMed : 28552616). Glucose deprivation results in AMPK-mediated phosphorylation of ACSS2 leading to its translocation to the nucleus where it binds to TFEB and locally produces acetyl-CoA for histone acetylation in the promoter regions of TFEB target genes thereby activating their transcription (PubMed : 28552616). The regulation of genes associated with autophagy and lysosomal activity through ACSS2 is important for brain tumorigenesis and tumor survival (PubMed : 28552616). Acts as a chromatin-bound transcriptional coactivator that up-regulates histone acetylation and expression of neuronal genes (By similarity). Can be recruited to the loci of memory-related neuronal genes to maintain a local acetyl-CoA pool, providing the substrate for histone acetylation and promoting the expression of specific genes, which is essential for maintaining long-term spatial memory (By similarity).
