The synthesis of fatty acids from acetyl-coenzyme A (AcCoA) is deregulated in diverse pathologies, including cancer. Here, we report that fatty acid accumulation is negatively regulated by nucleoside diphosphate kinases 1 and 2 (NME1/2), housekeeping enzymes involved in nucleotide homeostasis that were recently found to bind CoA. We show that NME1 additionally binds AcCoA and that ligand recognition involves a unique binding mode dependent on the CoA/AcCoA 3' phosphate. We report that <i>Nme2</i ...[more]
