The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab203994 at a 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab195889, Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor® 594), at a 1/250 dilution (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

Supplementary information

Acetyl Coenzyme A Carboxylase (ACC) also known as acetyl-CoA carboxylase or ACAC is an enzyme that plays an important role in fatty acid metabolism. Mechanically it catalyzes the biotin-dependent carboxylation of acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) to produce malonyl-CoA which is an important precursor in the biosynthesis of fatty acids. The molecular weight of ACC is approximately 265 kDa. Humans express this enzyme in multiple tissues such as the liver adipose tissue and mammary glands.
Biological function summary

Acetyl Coenzyme A Carboxylase contributes to fatty acid synthesis and regulation of metabolism. ACC exists in two main isoforms ACC1 which is found mainly in lipogenic tissues and ACC2 which is associated with oxidative tissues. These isoforms form part of larger complexes within the cell interacting with other enzymes and proteins to regulate metabolic processes. ACC also affects the synthesis of long-chain fatty acids by regulating the amount of malonyl-CoA available as a building block.

Pathways

Acetyl Coenzyme A Carboxylase plays a role in the synthesis of fatty acids and their cellular metabolism. This enzyme is a component of the lipogenesis pathway where it transforms acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA a step critical for fatty acid elongation. ACC interacts with proteins such as fatty acid synthase to carry out its function within these metabolic pathways. Additionally malonyl-CoA produced by ACC serves as a regulator of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 integrating with the fatty acid oxidation pathway.

Alterations in the function of acetyl Coenzyme A Carboxylase link to conditions like obesity and type 2 diabetes. Overexpression of ACC can result in increased fat storage contributing to obesity while its inhibition has been considered a strategy to counter insulin resistance in diabetes. In cancer dysregulation of ACC especially ACC1 can lead to altered lipid synthesis promoting tumor growth. ACC1 interacts with other proteins such as AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) which senses energy status and is involved in the regulation of ACC activity thereby influencing these diseases.

Target data

Cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA, the first and rate-limiting step of de novo fatty acid biosynthesis (PubMed : 20457939, PubMed : 20952656, PubMed : 29899443). This is a 2 steps reaction starting with the ATP-dependent carboxylation of the biotin carried by the biotin carboxyl carrier (BCC) domain followed by the transfer of the carboxyl group from carboxylated biotin to acetyl-CoA (PubMed : 20457939, PubMed : 20952656, PubMed : 29899443).
