Phosphorylated BC domain of ACC2
Structural highlights
FunctionACACB_HUMAN ACC-beta may be involved in the provision of malonyl-CoA or in the regulation of fatty acid oxidation, rather than fatty acid biosynthesis. Carries out three functions: biotin carboxyl carrier protein, biotin carboxylase and carboxyltransferase. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedAcetyl-CoA carboxylases (ACCs) have been highlighted as therapeutic targets for obesity and diabetes, as they play crucial roles in fatty acid metabolism. ACC activity is regulated through the short-term mechanism of inactivation by reversible phosphorylation. Here, we report the crystal structures of the biotin carboxylase (BC) domain of human ACC2 phosphorylated by AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). The phosphorylated Ser222 binds to the putative dimer interface of BC, disrupting polymerization and providing the molecular mechanism of inactivation by AMPK. We also determined the structure of the human BC domain in complex with soraphen A, a macrocyclic polyketide natural product. This structure shows that the compound binds to the binding site of phosphorylated Ser222, implying that its inhibition mechanism is the same as that of phosphorylation by AMPK.
