basic FUNCTION
  • ATP-citrate lyase, used as a substrate for synthesis of the cytosolic acetyl-CoA
  • having a central role in lipid synthesis
  • in nervous tissue it may be involved in the biosynthesis of acetylcholine
  • ACL activity is required to link growth factor-induced increases in nutrient metabolism to the regulation of histone acetylation and gene
  • ACLY expression and activity can be suppressed by exogenous lipids, demonstrating a critical role for ACLY in pancreatic beta cell survival
  • is likely important for the pyruvate citrate shuttle and lipid synthesis in insulin secretion
  • direct role for ACLY in macrophage inflammatory metabolism
  • potential function of ACLY in cellular senescence and tumorigenesis
  • cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes mitochondria-derived citrate into oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA
  • ACACA and ACLY regulate the levels of ETV4 under hypoxia via increased alpha-ketoglutarate
  • controls a glucose-to-acetate metabolic switch
  • critical enzyme linking glucose catabolism to lipogenesis by providing acetyl-CoA from mitochondrial citrate for fatty acid and cholesterol biosynthesis
  • key enzyme linking aerobic glycolysis and fatty acid synthesis that is of high biological and prognostic significance in breast cancer
  • facilitates histone acetylation at double-strand break (DSB) sites, impairing TP53BP1 localization and enabling BRCA1 recruitment and DNA repair by homologous recombination
  • the spatial and temporal control of acetyl-CoA production by ACLY participates in the mechanism of DNA repair pathway choice
  • CELLULAR PROCESS

    signaling
  • tricarboxylic cycle
  • activation of the IGF1/ACLy/cardiolipin pathway combines anabolic signaling with induction of mechanisms needed to provide required ATP
  • a component
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interaction between MORC2 and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-citrate lyase (ACLY), an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of acetyl-coA and plays a central role in lipogenesis, cholesterogenesis, and histone acetylation
  • ACLY physically interacted with the catalytic subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and inhibited AMPK activity
  • CUL3 interacts with ACLY through its adaptor protein, KLHL25 (Kelch-like family member 25), to ubiquitinate and degrade ACLY in cells
  • ACLY phosphorylation and nuclear localization are necessary for its role in promoting BRCA1 recruitment
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    induced by IGF1 inducing activation of ACLY in an AKT1-dependent fashion
    Phosphorylated by nuclear ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY) is phosphorylated at S455 downstream of ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and AKT following DNA damage
