Acetyl-CoA is a fundamental metabolic intermediate that plays a critical role in various cellular processes. It is the key entry point into the citric acid cycle, a central pathway in cellular respiration and energy production. Acetyl-CoA is involved in the synthesis of fatty acids, cholesterol, and other important biomolecules. It serves as a substrate for a wide range of enzymatic reactions, making it essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and supporting diverse metabolic functions.

Cytoplasm samples outlined above were used for further ACC1 enzyme activity measurement. ACC1, rather than ACC2, was measured based on a discontinuous spectrophotometric method. Enzyme activity of ACC1 was determined as follows (Willis et al., 2008 ; Sumiya et al., 2015 (link)): 10 μl of ACC1-containing cytoplasm was added into pre-warmed (30°C) ACC reaction buffer [100 mM of potassium phosphate (Sigma-Aldrich, pH 8.0), 15 mM of KHCO3 (Sangon), 5 mM of MnCl2 (Sigma-Aldrich), 1 mg/mL of bovine serum albumin (BSA, Beyotime Biotechnology, China), 1 mM of acetyl-CoA (Sigma-Aldrich), 5 mM of ATP (Sigma-Aldrich), and 3 mg/L of biotin (Sigma-Aldrich)] to start the conversion of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA in 30°C for 15 min. The untransformed acetyl-CoA in ACC reaction buffer was determined by incubating the cytoplasm-containing ACC reaction buffer with acetyl-CoA assay buffer [100 mM of potassium phosphate (pH 8.0), 0.1 mg/mL of dithionitrobenzoic acid (DTNB, Sigma-Aldrich), 20 mM of oxaloacetate (Sigma-Aldrich), and 1 mg/mL of BSA, 0.5 unit citrate synthase (Sigma-Aldrich)] at 30°C until the absorbance at 412 nm was not changed. The relative ACC1 activity normalized to overall cytoplasm protein was calculated by [OD412 (ACC reaction buffer)-OD412 (ACC reaction buffer with cytoplasm proteins)]/15 min/μg of cytoplasm protein.

Varied concentrations of acetyl-CoA (Sigma Aldrich, Cat# A2181), methacrylyl-CoA and crotonyl-CoA were incubated with 0.1 µM HAT1 and 200 µM of H4 (1–20) peptide (sequence: Ac-SGRGKGGKGLGKGGAKRHRK). The enzymatic reactions were conducted at 30 °C for 15 min in KAT reaction buffer containing 50 mM HEPES-Na and 0.1 mM EDTA-Na, pH 8.0. The reactions were quenched by 50% isopropanol and incubated with the probe 7-diethylamino-3-(4′-maleimidylphenyl)-4-methylcoumarin (abbr. CPM, Thermo Fisher, Cat# D346) in the darkness for 30 min at room temperature, producing the fluorescent CPM-SCoA complex. The fluorescence intensities were measured at an excitation of 392 nm and an emission of 482 nm with FlexStation®3 microplate reader to obtain reaction rate for each datapoint. Kinetic constants including binding affinity (Km) and catalytic rate (kcat) were determined by fitting the acyl-CoA concentration- rate curve to the Michaelis-Menten equation using GraphPad Prism.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
