PC deficiency leads to lactic acidosis, mental retardation and death. It occurs in three forms: mild or type A, severe neonatal or type B, and a very mild lacticacidemia. Function PYC_HUMAN Pyruvate carboxylase catalyzes a 2-step reaction, involving the ATP-dependent carboxylation of the covalently attached biotin in the first step and the transfer of the carboxyl group to pyruvate in the second. Catalyzes in a tissue specific manner, the initial reactions of glucose (liver, kidney) and lipid (adipose tissue, liver, brain) synthesis from pyruvate. Publication Abstract from PubMed Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) catalyzes the two-step carboxylation of pyruvate to produce oxaloacetate, playing a key role in the maintenance of metabolic homeostasis in cells. Given its involvement in multiple diseases, PC has been regarded as a potential therapeutic target for obesity, diabetes, and cancer. Albeit acetyl-CoA has been recognized as the allosteric regulator of PC for over 60 years, the underlying mechanism of how acetyl-CoA induces PC activation remains enigmatic. Herein, by using time-resolved cryo-electron microscopy, we have captured the snapshots of PC transitional states during its catalytic cycle. These structures and the biochemical studies reveal that acetyl-CoA stabilizes PC in a catalytically competent conformation, which triggers a cascade of events, including ATP hydrolysis and the long-distance communication between the two reactive centers. These findings provide an integrated picture for PC catalysis and unveil the unique allosteric mechanism of acetyl-CoA in an essential biochemical reaction in all kingdoms of life.
