Can histone deacetylation fuel acetyl-CoA metabolism? We teamed up with Ioana Soaita @AranyLab @mzspectrum @WellenLab to answer this question. jbc.org/article/S0021-9258(2…

Dynamic protein deacetylation is a limited carbon source for acetyl-CoA–dependent metabolism

The ability of cells to store and rapidly mobilize energy reserves in response to nutrient availability is essential for survival. Breakdown of carbon stores produces acetyl-CoA (AcCoA), which fuels...

We didn't detect any release into extracellular acetate, so we checked 13C-labeling. We found that up to ~10% of the acetyl-CoA pool was derived from deacetylation, and this label was transmitted downstream into (iso)butyryl-CoA!

So the contribution of deacetylation to whole cell acetyl-CoA metabolism appears limited 🥲Although the contribution may vary across subcellular compartments. Variation in the extent of deacetylation between different histone lysine sites suggests selectivity in this response:

Our data are consistent with a model where acetate is preferentially mobilized to maintain other acetylation events (such as shown recently by Mendoza et al @berger_lab @GarciaLabMS) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3506…

Enzymatic transfer of acetate on histones from lysine reservoir sites to lysine activating sites -...

Histone acetylation is governed by nuclear acetyl-CoA pools generated, in part, from local acetate by metabolic enzyme acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2). We hypothesize that during gene activation, a...

Is histone acetylation really a reservoir for 2-carbon units to make acetyl-CoA? We used 13C tracing to show that ... yes, but not that much. Acetylation is dynamic but contributes only a little to cellular AcCoA demand. @WellenLab @mzspectrum @trefely authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…
