Acetyl-coenzyme A

چکیده
As the major lysosomal degradation pathway, autophagy represents the guardian of cellular homeostasis, removing damaged and potentially harmful material and replenishing energy reserves in conditions of starvation. Given its vast physiological importance, autophagy is crucially involved in the process of aging and associated pathologies. Although the regulation of autophagy strongly depends on nutrient availability, specific metabolites that modulate autophagic responses are poorly described. Recently, we revealed nucleocytosolic acetyl-coenzyme A (AcCoA) as a phylogenetically conserved inhibitor of starvation-induced and age-associated autophagy. AcCoA is the sole acetylgroup donor for protein acetylation, explaining why pharmacological or genetic manipulations that modify the concentrations of nucleo-cytosolic AcCoA directly affect the levels of protein acetylation. The acetylation of histones and cytosolic proteins inversely correlates with the rate of autophagy in yeast and mammalian cells, respectively, despite the fact that the routes of de novo AcCoA synthesis differ across phyla. Thus, we propose nucleo-cytosolic AcCoA to act as a conserved metabolic rheostat, linking the cellular metabolic state to the regulation of autophagy via effects on protein acetylation.

Background: Acute renal injury (AKI) is one of the most common causes of mortality in children admitted to intensive care units (PICU). Here, we investigated the preventive effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and Coenzyme Q10 on AKI among children admitted to PICU. Methods: This double-blind randomized clinical trial study was done on 78 children admitted to PICU in 2018. Patients were randomly...

Acetyl coenzyme A is an important molecule in metabolism playing role in many biochemical reactions. Its main function is to convey the carbon atoms within the acetyl group to the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) to be oxidized for energy production. In order to find out if this chemical compound could affect physiological and morphological characteristics of rosemary plant, the present study w...

Acetyl coenzyme A synthetase, which catalyzes the biosynthesis of acetyl coenzyme A from acetat,e, adenosine triphosphate, and coenzyme A, has previously been obtained in highly purified form from bovine heart mitochondria (1). The enzyme appeared to be fairly homogeneous because only a single protein peak was detected in two chromatographic systems and the pattern observed in the analytical ul...

Feeding a low fat, biotin-deficient diet to young rats for 1 to 2 weeks leads to a decrease in acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase levels in epididymal adipose tissue with accumulation of the apoenzyme. These changes occur prior to changes in hepatic propionyl coenzyme A carboxylase levels. Acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase levels in liver decrease minimally with biotin deficiency, and little apoenzyme a...
