The obligatory role of carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I (CPT-I) in mediating mitochondrial lipid transport is well established, a process attenuated by malonyl-CoA (M-CoA). However, the necessity of reducing M-CoA concentrations to promote lipid oxidation has recently been challenged, suggesting external regulation on CPT-I. Since previous work in hepatocytes suggests the involvement of the intermediate filament fraction of the cytoskeleton in regulating CPT-I, we investigated in skeletal muscle if CPT-I sensitivity for M-CoA inhibition could be regulated by the intermediate filaments, and whether AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) could be involved in this process. Chemical disruption (3,3′-iminodipropionitrile, IDPN) of the intermediate filaments did not alter mitochondrial respiration or sensitivity for numerous substrates (palmitoyl-CoA, ADP, palmitoyl carnitine and pyruvate). In contrast, IDPN reduced CPT-I sensitivity for M-CoA inhibition in permeabilized muscle fibers, identifying M-CoA kinetics as a specific target for intermediate filament regulation. Importantly, exercise mimicked the effect of IDPN on M-CoA sensitivity, suggesting that intermediate filament disruption in vivo is physiologically important for CPT-I regulation. To ascertain a potential mechanism, since AMPK is activated during exercise, AMPK β1β2-KO mice were utilized in an attempt to ablate the observed exercise response. Unexpectedly, these mice displayed drastic attenuation in resting M-CoA sensitivity, such that exercise and IDPN could not further alter M-CoA sensitivity. These data suggest that AMPK is not required for the regulation of the intermediate filament interaction with CPT-I. Altogether, these data highlight that M-CoA sensitivity is important for regulating mitochondrial lipid transport. Moreover, M-CoA sensitivity appears to be regulated by intermediate filament interaction with CPT-I, a process that is important when metabolic homeostasis is challenged.

This study was designed to compare the activity of skeletal muscle carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I) in trained and inactive men ( n = 14) and women ( n = 12). CPT I activity was measured in intact mitochondria, isolated from needle biopsy vastus lateralis muscle samples (∼60 mg). The variability of CPT I activity determined on two biopsy samples from the same leg on the same day was 4.4, whereas it was 7.0% on two biopsy samples from the same leg on different days. The method was sensitive to the CPT I inhibitor malonyl-CoA (88% inhibition) and therefore specific for CPT I activity. The mean CPT I activity for all 26 subjects was 141.1 ± 10.6 μmol ⋅ min−1 ⋅ kg wet muscle (wm)−1 and was not different when all men vs. all women (140.5 ± 15.7 and 142.2 ± 14.5 μmol ⋅ min−1 ⋅ kg wm−1, respectively) were compared. However, CPT I activity was significantly higher in trained vs. inactive subjects for both men (176.2 ± 21.1 vs. 104.1 ± 13.6 μmol ⋅ min−1 ⋅ kg wm−1) and women (167.6 ± 14.1 vs. 91.2 ± 9.5 μmol ⋅ min−1 ⋅ kg wm−1). CPT I activity was also significantly correlated with citrate synthase activity (all subjects, r = 0.76) and maximal oxygen consumption expressed in milliliters per kilogram per minute (all subjects, r = 0.69). The results of this study suggest that CPT I activity can be accurately and reliably measured in intact mitochondria isolated from human muscle biopsy samples. CPT I activity was not affected by gender, and higher activities in aerobically trained subjects appeared to be the result of increased mitochondrial content in both men and women.

The sensitivity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I; EC 2.3.1.21) to inhibition by malonyl-CoA and related compounds was examined in isolated mitochondria from liver, heart and skeletal muscle of the rat. In all three tissues the same order of inhibitory potency emerged: malonyl-CoA much greater than succinyl-CoA greater than methylmalonyl-CoA much greater than propionyl-CoA greater than acetyl-CoA. For any given agent, suppression of CPT I activity was much greater in skeletal muscle than in liver, with the heart enzyme having intermediate sensitivity. With skeletal-muscle mitochondria a high-affinity binding site for [14C]malonyl-CoA was readily demonstrable (Kd approx. 25 nM). The ability of other CoA esters to compete with [14C]malonyl-CoA for binding to the membrane paralleled their capacity to inhibit CPT I. Palmitoyl-CoA also competitively inhibited [14C]malonyl-CoA binding, in keeping with its known ability to overcome malonyl-CoA suppression of CPT I. For reasons not yet clear, free CoA displayed anomalous behaviour in that its competition for [14C]malonyl-CoA binding was disproportionately greater than its inhibition of CPT I. Three major conclusions are drawn. First, malonyl-CoA is not the only physiological compound capable of suppressing CPT I, since chemically related compounds, known to exist in cells, also share this property, particularly in tissues where the enzyme shows the greatest sensitivity to malonyl-CoA. Second, malonyl-CoA and its analogues appear to interact with the same site on the mitochondrial membrane, as may palmitoyl-CoA. Third, the degree of site occupancy by inhibitors governs the activity of CPT I.

Rest And Exercise

The present study examined the sensitivity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I) activity to its inhibitor malonyl-CoA (M-CoA), and simulated metabolic conditions of rest and exercise, in aerobically trained and untrained humans. Maximal CPT I activity was measured in mitochondria isolated from resting human skeletal muscle. Mean CPT I activity was 492.8 ± 72.8 and 260.8 ± 33.6 μmol ⋅ min−1 ⋅ kg wet muscle−1 in trained and untrained subjects, respectively (pH 7.0, 37°C). The sensitivity to M-CoA was greater in trained muscle; the IC50 for M-CoA was 0.17 ± 0.04 and 0.49 ± 0.17 μM in trained and untrained muscle, respectively. The presence of acetyl-CoA, free coenzyme A (CoASH), and acetylcarnitine, in concentrations simulating rest and exercise conditions did not release the M-CoA-induced inhibition of CPT I activity. However, CPT I activity was reduced at pH 6.8 vs. pH 7.0 in both trained and untrained muscle in the presence of physiological concentrations of M-CoA. The results of this study indicate that aerobic training is associated with an increase in the sensitivity of CPT I to M-CoA. Accumulations of acetyl-CoA, CoASH, and acetylcarnitine do not counteract the M-CoA-induced inhibition of CPT I activity. However, small decreases in pH produce large reductions in the activity of CPT I and may contribute to the decrease in fat metabolism that occurs during moderate and intense aerobic exercise intensities.

The kinetics of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I; EC 2.3.1.21) were examined in mitochondria from rat liver, heart and skeletal muscle as a function of pH over the range 6.8-7.6. In all three tissues raising the pH resulted in a fall in the Km for carnitine, no change in the Km for palmitoyl-CoA or Octanoyl-CoA, and a marked decrease in the inhibitory potency of malonyl-CoA. Studies with skeletal-muscle mitochondria established that increasing pH was accompanied by an increase in the Kd of the malonyl-CoA binding site for this ligand, coupled with a decrease in the Kd for fatty acyl-CoA species to compete for malonyl-CoA binding. Three principal conclusions are drawn. (1) The pH-induced shift in malonyl-CoA sensitivity of CPT I is not a phenomenon restricted to liver mitochondria. (2) At any given pH within the range tested, the ability of malonyl-CoA (and closely related compounds) to inhibit enzyme activity is governed by the efficiency of their binding to the malonyl-CoA site. (3) The competitive interaction between fatty acyl-CoA substrates and malonyl-CoA as regards CPT I activity is exerted at the malonyl-CoA binding site. Finally, the possibility is strengthened that the malonyl-CoA binding site is distinct from the active site of CPT I.

Peroxisomal oxidation yields metabolites that are more efficiently utilized by mitochondria. This is of potential clinical importance because reduced fatty acid oxidation is suspected to promote excess lipid accumulation in obesity-associated insulin resistance. Our purpose was to assess peroxisomal contributions to mitochondrial oxidation in mixed gastrocnemius (MG), liver, and left ventricle (LV) homogenates from lean and fatty ( fa/fa) Zucker rats. Results indicate that complete mitochondrial oxidation (CO2production) using various lipid substrates was increased approximately twofold in MG, unaltered in LV, and diminished ∼50% in liver of fa/fa rats. In isolated mitochondria, malonyl-CoA inhibited CO2production from palmitate 78%, whereas adding isolated peroxisomes reduced inhibition to 21%. These data demonstrate that peroxisomal products may enter mitochondria independently of CPT I, thus providing a route to maintain lipid disposal under conditions where malonyl-CoA levels are elevated, such as in insulin-resistant tissues. Peroxisomal metabolism of lignoceric acid in fa/fa rats was elevated in both liver and MG (LV unaltered), but peroxisomal product distribution varied. A threefold elevation in incomplete oxidation was solely responsible for increased hepatic peroxisomal oxidation (CO2unaltered). Alternatively, only CO2was detected in MG, indicating that peroxisomal products were exclusively partitioned to mitochondria for complete lipid disposal. These data suggest tissue-specific destinations for peroxisome-derived products and emphasize a potential role for peroxisomes in skeletal muscle lipid metabolism in the obese, insulin-resistant state.

Incubation of rat hepatocytes with extracellular ATP inhibited acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) activity and fatty acid synthesis de novo, with a concomitant decrease of intracellular malonyl-CoA concentration. However, both carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase I (CPT-I) activity and ketogenesis from palmitate were inhibited in parallel by extracellular ATP. The inhibitory effect of extracellular ATP on ACC and CPT-I activities was not evident in Ca2+ -depleted hepatocytes. Incubation of hepatocytes with thapsigargin, 2,5-di-(t-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone (BHQ), or A-23187, compounds that increase cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), depressed ACC activity, whereas CPT-I activity was unaffected. The phorbol ester 4 beta-phorbol 12 beta-myristate 13 alpha-acetate (PMA) increased ACC activity, whereas it decreased CPT-I activity in a nonaddictive manner with respect to extracellular ATP. The inhibitory effect of extracellular ATP on ACC activity was also evident in the presence of bisindolyl-maleimide, a specific inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC), whereas this compound abolished the extracellular ATP-mediated inhibition of CPT-I. In addition, the PMA-induced inhibition of CPT-I was not potentiated by thapsigargin, BHQ, or A-23187. Results thus show 1) that the intracellular concentration of malonyl-CoA is not the factor responsible for the inhibition of hepatic long-chain fatty acid oxidation by extracellular ATP, and 2) that the inhibition of ACC by extracellular ATP may be mediated by an elevation of [Ca2+]i, whereas CPT-I may be inhibited by extracellular ATP through a PKC-dependent mechanism.
