چکیده

DNA transcription, replication, and repair are regulated by histone acetylation, a process that requires the generation of acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA). Here, we show that all the subunits of the mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) are also present and functional in the nucleus of mammalian cells. We found that knockdown of nuclear PDC in isolated functional nuclei decreased the de novo synthesis of acetyl-CoA and acetylation of core histones. Nuclear PDC levels increased in a cell-cycle-dependent manner and in response to serum, epidermal growth factor, or mitochondrial stress; this was accompanied by a corresponding decrease in mitochondrial PDC levels, suggesting a translocation from the mitochondria to the nucleus. Inhibition of nuclear PDC decreased acetylation of specific lysine residues on histones important for G1-S phase progression and expression of S phase markers. Dynamic translocation of mitochondrial PDC to the nucleus provides a pathway for nuclear acetyl-CoA synthesis required for histone acetylation and epigenetic regulation.

Nuclear pyruvate kinase M2 complex serves as a transcriptional coactivator of arylhydrocarbon receptor

Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) and pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) regulate production of acetyl-CoA, which functions as an acetyl donor in diverse enzymatic reactions, including histone acetylation. However, the mechanism by which the acetyl-CoA required for histone acetylation is ensured in a gene context-dependent manner is not clear. Here we show that PKM2, the E2 subunit of PDC and histone...

A Mitochondrial Expatriate: Nuclear Pyruvate Dehydrogenase

The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate into acetyl-CoA, a critical step in metabolism. Sutendra et al. now demonstrate that PDC can translocate from the mitochondria to the nucleus to provide acetyl-CoA necessary for histone acetylation, suggesting a new pathway for mitochondrial-nuclear communication.

Function and regulation of mammalian pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Acetylation, interlipoyl acetyl transfer, and migration of the pyruvate dehydrogenase component.

We have presented evidence that stimulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase, (PDH.) kinase activity by pyruvate or by acetyl-CoA is mediated through acetylation of lipoyl moieties (Cate, R. L., and Roche, T. E. (1978) J. Biol. Chem. 253,496-503). In accord with this indirect mechanism for the action of these effecters, we now find that the degree of stimulation of PDH, kinase increases with the level...

Acetate Recapturing by Nuclear Acetyl-CoA Synthetase 2 Prevents Loss of Histone Acetylation during Oxygen and Serum Limitation

Acetyl-CoA is a key metabolic intermediate with an important role in transcriptional regulation. The nuclear-cytosolic acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2) was found to sustain the growth of hypoxic tumor cells. It generates acetyl-CoA from acetate, but exactly which pathways it supports is not fully understood. Here, quantitative analysis of acetate metabolism reveals that ACSS2 fulfills distinct f...
