Acetyl-CoA synthetase (ACSS2) does not generate butyryl- and crotonyl-CoA

Résumé

Acetyl and other acyl groups from different short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) competitively modify histones at various lysine sites. To fully understand the functional significance of such histone acylation, a key epigenetic mechanism, it is crucial to characterize the cellular sources of the corresponding acyl-CoA molecules required for the lysine modification. Like acetate, SCFAs such as propionate, butyrate and crotonate are thought to be the substrates used to generate the corresponding acyl-CoAs by enzymes known as acyl-CoA synthetases. The acetyl-CoA synthetase, ACSS2, which produces acetyl-CoA from acetate in the nucleocytoplasmic compartment, has been proposed to also mediate the synthesis of acyl-CoAs such as butyryl- and crotonyl-CoA from the corresponding SCFAs. This idea is now widely accepted and is sparking new research projects. However, based on our direct in vitro experiments with purified or recombinant enzymes and structural considerations, we demonstrate that ACSS2 is unable to mediate the generation of non-acetyl acyl-CoAs like butyryl- and crotonyl-CoA. It is therefore essential to re-examine published data and corresponding discussions in the light of this new finding.
