Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells play pivotal roles in antitumor immunity, yet their connection to tumor metabolism remains unclear. Our systematic analysis of multiomics data and survival data from colorectal cancer (CRC) patients uncovered a novel association between mitochondrial acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase 1 (ACAT1) and NK cell infiltration that influences disease progression. ACAT1, a metabolic enzyme involved in reversible conversion of acetoacetyl-CoA to two molecules of acetyl-CoA, exhibits nuclear protein acetylation activity through its translocation. Under immune stimulation, mitochondrial ACAT1 can be phosphorylated at serine 60 (S60) and enters the nucleus; however, this process is hindered in nutrient-poor tumor microenvironments. Nuclear ACAT1 directly acetylates lysine 146 of p50 (NFKB1), attenuating its DNA binding and transcriptional repression activity and thereby increasing the expression of immune-related factors, which in turn promotes NK cell recruitment and activation to suppress colorectal cancer growth. Furthermore, significant associations were found among low nuclear ACAT1 levels, decreased S60 phosphorylation, and reduced NK cell infiltration, as well as poor prognosis in CRC. Our findings reveal an unexpected function of ACAT1 as a nuclear acetyltransferase and elucidate its role in NK cell-dependent antitumor immunity through p50 acetylation.

Project description:Acetyl-Coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) is a central metabolite and the acetyl source for protein acetylation, particularly histone acetylation that promotes gene expression. However, the effect of acetyl-CoA levels on histone acetylation status in plants remains unknown. Here, we show that malfunctioned cytosolic acetyl-CoA carboxylase1 (ACC1) in Arabidopsis leads to elevated levels of acetyl-CoA and promotes histone hyperacetylation predominantly at lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3K27). The increase of H3K27 acetylation (H3K27ac) is dependent on ATP-citrate lyase which cleaves citrate to acetyl-CoA in the cytoplasm, and requires histone acetyltransferase GCN5. A comprehensive analysis of the transcriptome and metabolome in combination with the genome-wide H3K27ac profiles of acc1 mutants, demonstrate the dynamic changes of H3K27ac, gene transcripts and metabolites occurring in the cell by the increased levels of acetyl-CoA. This study suggests that H3K27ac is an important link between cytosolic acetyl-CoA level and gene expression in response to the dynamic metabolic environments in plants.

Project description:Natural Killer (NK) cells, integral to viral immunity and tumor clearance, are impacted by metabolism. A prior study revealed that cytokine stimulation boosts the citrate-malate shuttle and cytosolic acetyl-CoA through ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) in NK cells. Acetyl-CoA is vital for fatty acid synthesis and protein acetylation, including histones. To explore the role of ACLY in NK cell function, we generated an inducible NK-specific Acly knockout mouse model. ACLY loss in NKp46+ NK cells did not alter maturation or IFN-γ production in naïve NK cells. However, ACLY-deficient NK cells exhibited notable proliferation defects in IL-15-priming conditions, associated with impaired glycolysis. The stimulation and priming of NK cells through IL-15 is an important mechanism for enhancing effector and anti-tumor functions. Additionally, IL-15-primed ACLY-deficient NK cells showed reduced effector function in response to DAP12-associated activating receptors (NKG2D, Ly49H). This is because ACLY-deficient NK cells produce lower level of DAP12 during IL-15 priming, which was regulated in epigenetic level. These ACLY-driven deficiency was mostly rescued by acetate-generated acetyl-CoA, except glycolysis. Overall, these findings underscore ACLY's importance in NK cell proliferation and DAP12-driven effector functions.

Project description:Histone modifying enzymes depend on the availability of cofactors, with acetyl-CoA being required for histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activity. The discovery that mitochondrial acyl-CoA producing enzymes are also delivered to the nucleus suggests that high concentrations of metabolites generated locally may impact acetylation of histones and other nuclear substrates and eventually control gene regulation. Here we show that 2-ketoacid dehydrogenases were stably associated with the Mediator complex in macrophages, thus providing a local supply of acetyl-CoA and increasing the generation of hyper-acetylated histone tails. Nitric oxide (NO), which is produced in large amounts in LPS-stimulated macrophages, inhibited both the activity of 2-ketoacid dehydrogenases and their association with Mediator. Consequently, NO reduced de novo histone acetylation at genomic regions with high acetyl-CoA deposition rates. Our findings indicate that a local supply of acetyl-CoA generated by Mediator-bound 2-ketoacid dehydrogenases is required to maximize acetylation of histone tails at sites of elevated HAT activity.
