Project description:Metabolic production of acetyl-CoA has been linked to histone acetylation and gene regulation, however the mechanisms are largely unknown. We show that the metabolic enzyme acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2) is a critical and directchum regulator of histone acetylation in neurons and of long-term mammalian memory. We observe increased nuclear ACSS2 in differentiating neurons in vitro. Genome-wide, ACSS2 binding corresponds with increased histone acetylation and gene expression of key neuronal genes. These data indicate that ACSS2 functions as a chromatin-bound co-activator to increase local concentrations of acetyl-CoA and to locally promote histone acetylation for transcription of neuron-specific genes. Remarkably, in vivo attenuation of hippocampal ACSS2 expression in adult mice impairs long-term spatial memory, a cognitive process reliant on histone acetylation. ACSS2 reduction in hippocampus also leads to a defect in upregulation of key neuronal genes involved in memory. These results reveal a unique connection between cellular metabolism and neural plasticity, and establish a link between generation of acetyl-CoA and neuronal chromatin regulation. Genome-wide examination of histone H3 and H4 acetylation, as well as ACSS2 binding, in undifferentiated CAD cells and differentiated CAD neurons; background adjusted by H3 ChIP or Input.

Project description:Histone acetylation is a key component in the consolidation of long-term fear memories, which are models for highly resilient and durable memory. Histone acetylation is fueled by acetyl-CoA and recently, nuclear-localized metabolic enzymes that produce this metabolite have emerged as direct and local regulators of histone acetylation. In particular, Acetyl-coA synthetase 2 (ACSS2) mediates histone acetylation in the mouse hippocampus. However, whether ACSS2 regulates long-term fear memory remains to be determined. Here, we show that Acss2 knockout is well-tolerated in mice, yet the Acss2 null mouse exhibits reduced acquisition of long-term fear memory. Loss of Acss2 leads to reductions in both histone acetylation and expression of critical learning and memory-related genes in the dorsal hippocampus, specifically following fear conditioning. Further, systemic administration of blood-brain-barrier (BBB)-permeable Acss2 inhibitors during the consolidation window reduces fear memory formation in mice and rats, and reduces anxiety in a predator-scent-stress (PSS) paradigm. Our findings suggest that nuclear acetyl-CoA metabolism via ACSS2 plays a critical, previously unappreciated role in the formation of fear memories.

Project description:mTOR complex 2 (mTORC2) phosphorylates AKT in a hydrophobic motif site that is a biomarker of insulin sensitivity. In adipocytes, mTORC2 regulates glucose and lipid metabolism; however, the mechanism has been unclear because downstream AKT signaling appears unaffected by mTORC2 loss. Here, by applying immunoblotting, targeted phosphoproteomics and metabolite profiling in brown preadipocytes, we identify ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY) as a distinctly mTORC2-sensitive AKT substrate. mTORC2 appears dispensable for most other AKT actions examined indicating a previously unappreciated selectivity in mTORC2-AKT signaling. Rescue experiments show brown preadipocytes require the mTORC2/AKT/ACLY pathway to induce PPAR-gamma and establish the epigenetic landscape during differentiation. mTORC2 also acts through ACLY in mature brown adipocytes to increase ChREBP activity, histone acetylation, and gluco-lipogenic gene expression. Substrate utilization studies additionally implicate mTORC2 in promoting acetyl-CoA synthesis from acetate through acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2). These data suggest that a principal mTORC2 action is controlling nuclear-cytoplasmic acetyl-CoA synthesis.

Project description:Our present study showed that lncRNA TINCR have impact on the ubiquitination-mediated degradation level of ACLY protein in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Silencing of TINCR lead to downregulation of ACLY protein level. ACLY is a cytosolic homotetrameric enzyme catalyzing the ATP-dependent conversion of citrate and coenzyme A (CoA) to oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA, a precursor for lipid biosynthesis, including cholesterol, free fatty acid and phospholipid. Meanwhile, the cellular acetyl-CoA pool is also required for acetylation reactions that modify proteins such as histone acetylation, including Histone H3 acetylation K27 (H3K27ac). To select the shared genes that were regulated by TINCR and were in response to acetyl-CoA alteration, we conducted RNA-seq in HONE-1 cells with or without TINCR or ACLY silencing, as well as H3K27ac Chromatin Immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) in HONE-1 cells with or without ACLY silencing. We also performed CLIP-seq in HONE-1 and SUNE-1 cells to validate the TINCR-ACLY interaction and identify the binding sites of TINCR with ACLY.
