Ascomycin (FK520) is a multifunctional antibiotic produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus var. ascomyceticus. In this study, we demonstrated that the inactivation of GlnB, a signal transduction protein belonging to the PII family, can increase the production of ascomycin by strengthening the supply of the precursors malonyl-CoA and methylmalonyl-CoA, which are produced by acetyl-CoA carboxylase and propionyl-CoA carboxylase, respectively. Bioinformatics analysis showed that Streptomyces hygroscopicus var. ascomyceticus contains two PII family signal transduction proteins, GlnB and GlnK. Protein co-precipitation experiments demonstrated that GlnB protein could bind to the α subunit of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and this binding could be disassociated by a sufficient concentration of 2-oxoglutarate. Coupled enzyme activity assays further revealed that the interaction between GlnB protein and the α subunit inhibited both the activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and propionyl-CoA carboxylase, and this inhibition could be relieved by 2-oxoglutarate in a concentration-dependent manner. Because GlnK protein can act redundantly to maintain metabolic homeostasis under the control of the global nitrogen regulator GlnR, the deletion of GlnB protein enhanced the supply of malonyl-CoA and methylmalonyl-CoA by restoring the activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and propionyl-CoA carboxylase, thereby improving the production of ascomycin to 390 ± 10 mg/L. On this basis, the co-overexpression of the β and ε subunits of propionyl-CoA carboxylase further increased the ascomycin yield to 550 ± 20 mg/L, which was 1.9-fold higher than that of the parent strain FS35 (287 ± 9 mg/L). Taken together, this study provides a novel strategy to increase the production of ascomycin, providing a reference for improving the yield of other antibiotics.

Abstract Malonyl-CoA, which is the unique product of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), may serve as a metabolic coupler in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by pancreatic β-cells. Therefore we examined if and how ACC is affected by glucose in association with insulin secretion. Glucose induces a rapid increase in ACC activity which is closely related to insulin secretion in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The acute effect of glucose in increasing ACC activity is caused by dephosphorylation of existing ACC molecules, without the production of new enzyme. Inhibition of ACC dephosphorylation and activation by the use of okadaic acid led to diminished glucose-mediated insulin secretion. Likewise, when ACC phosphorylation and inactivation were induced by the use of 5-amino 4-imidazole-carboxamide ribotide, an AMP analog and activator of 5′-AMP protein kinase, the glucose-induced insulin secretion was virtually nil. In the long term, glucose induced ACC and increased insulin secretion. In β-cells, ACC gene expression is controlled by promoter II and glucose activated promoter II expression. ACC promoter I is not expressed in β-cells. Maximum activation of ACC and insulin secretion by glucose in the short term occurred at 5 mm glucose. On the other hand, activation of the expression of ACC promoter II occurred when the cells were exposed to high glucose concentrations for a long period of time. Thus, we have shown that ACC, the only enzyme that produces malonyl-CoA, is activated by glucose; activation of ACC is accomplished by dephosphorylation in the short term and by induction of ACC by gene activation in the long term.

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has previously been demonstrated to phosphorylate and inactivate skeletal muscle acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), the enzyme responsible for synthesis of malonyl-CoA, an inhibitor of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 and fatty acid oxidation. Contraction-induced activation of AMPK with subsequent phosphorylation/inactivation of ACC has been postulated to be responsible in part for the increase in fatty acid oxidation that occurs in muscle during exercise. These studies were designed to answer the question: Does phosphorylation of ACC by AMPK make palmitoyl-CoA a more effective inhibitor of ACC? Purified rat muscle ACC was subjected to phosphorylation by AMPK. Activity was determined on nonphosphorylated and phosphorylated ACC preparations at acetyl-CoA concentrations ranging from 2 to 500 μM and at palmitoyl-CoA concentrations ranging from 0 to 100 μM. Phosphorylation resulted in a significant decline in the substrate saturation curve at all palmitoyl-CoA concentrations. The inhibitor constant for palmitoyl-CoA inhibition of ACC was reduced from 1.7 ± 0.25 to 0.85 ± 0.13 μM as a consequence of phosphorylation. At 0.5 mM citrate, ACC activity was reduced to 13% of control values in response to the combination of phosphorylation and 10 μM palmitoyl-CoA. Skeletal muscle ACC is more potently inhibited by palmitoyl-CoA after having been phosphorylated by AMPK. This may contribute to low-muscle malonyl-CoA values and increasing fatty acid oxidation rates during long-term exercise when plasma fatty acid concentrations are elevated.

1. The effect of nutritional status on fatty acid synthesis in brown adipose tissue was compared with the effect of cold-exposure. Fatty acid synthesis was measured in vivo by 3H2O incorporation into tissue lipids. The activities of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthetase and the tissue concentrations of malonyl-CoA and citrate were assayed. 2. In brown adipose tissue of control mice, the tissue content of malonyl-CoA was 13 nmol/g wet wt., higher than values reported in other tissues. From the total tissue water content, the minimum possible concentration was estimated to be 30 microM 3. There were parallel changes in fatty acid synthesis, malonyl-CoA content and acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity in response to starvation and re-feeding. 4. There was no correlation between measured rates of fatty acid synthesis and malonyl-CoA content and acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity in acute cold-exposure. The results suggest there is simultaneous fatty acid synthesis and oxidation in brown adipose tissue of cold-exposed mice. This is probably effected not by decreases in the malonyl-CoA content, but by increases in the concentration of free long-chain fatty acyl-CoA or enhanced peroxisomal oxidation, allowing shorter-chain fatty acids to enter the mitochondria independent of carnitine acyltransferase (overt form) activity.

Steady State Inactivation

Voltage-gated cardiac Na+ channels are composed of α- and β1-subunits. In this study β1-subunit was cotransfected with the α-subunit of the human cardiac Na+ channel (hH1α) in human embryonic kidney (HEK293t) cells. The effects of this coexpression on the kinetics and fatty acid-induced suppression of Na+currents were assessed. Current density was significantly greater in HEK293t cells coexpressing α- and β1-subunits ( I Na,αβ) than in HEK293t cells expressing α-subunit alone ( I Na,α). Compared with I Na,α, the voltage-dependent inactivation and activation of I Na,αβ were significantly shifted in the depolarizing direction. In addition, coexpression with β1-subunit prolonged the duration of recovery from inactivation. Eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA, C20:5(n–3)] significantly reduced I Na,αβ in a concentration-dependent manner and at 5 μM shifted the midpoint voltage of the steady-state inactivation by −22 ± 1 mV. EPA also significantly accelerated channel transition from the resting state to the inactivated state and prolonged the recovery time from inactivation. Docosahexaenoic acid [C22:6(n–3)], α-linolenic acid [C18:3(n–3)], and conjugated linoleic acid [C18:2(n–6)] at 5 μM significantly inhibited both I Na,αβ and I Na,α.In contrast, saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids had no effects on I Na,αβ. This finding differs from the results for I Na,α, which was significantly inhibited by both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Our data demonstrate that functional association of β1-subunit with hH1α modifies the kinetics and fatty acid block of the Na+ channel.

Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase I

Inhibition of myocardial fatty acid oxidation can improve left ventricular (LV) mechanical efficiency by increasing LV power for a given rate of myocardial energy expenditure. This phenomenon has not been assessed at high workloads in nonischemic myocardium; therefore, we subjected in vivo pig hearts to a high workload for 5 min and assessed whether blocking mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation with the carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I inhibitor oxfenicine would improve LV mechanical efficiency. In addition, the cardiac content of malonyl-CoA (an endogenous inhibitor of carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I) and activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (which synthesizes malonyl-CoA) were assessed. Increased workload was induced by aortic constriction and dobutamine infusion, and LV efficiency was calculated from the LV pressure-volume loop and LV energy expenditure. In untreated pigs, the increase in LV power resulted in a 2.5-fold increase in fatty acid oxidation and cardiac malonyl-CoA content but did not affect the activation state of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. The activation state of the acetyl-CoA carboxylase inhibitory kinase AMP-activated protein kinase decreased by 40% with increased cardiac workload. Pretreatment with oxfenicine inhibited fatty acid oxidation by 75% and had no effect on cardiac energy expenditure but significantly increased LV power and LV efficiency (37 ± 5% vs. 26 ± 5%, P < 0.05) at high workload. In conclusion, 1) myocardial fatty acid oxidation increases with a short-term increase in cardiac workload, despite an increase in malonyl-CoA concentration, and 2) inhibition of fatty acid oxidation improves LV mechanical efficiency by increasing LV power without affecting cardiac energy expenditure.
