Regulation of purified rat liver acetyl CoA carboxylase by phosphorylation

JB Allred, GJ Harris and J Goodson

Acetyl CoA carboxylase was purified from liver of fasted-refed rats to near homogeneity, based on electrophoretic analysis and biotin content. These preparations contained an endogenous protein kinase that catalyzed the transfer of radioactive phosphate from [gamma-32P]ATP to acetyl CoA carboxylase, accompanied by a decrease in acetyl CoA carboxylase activity. Phosphate incorporated into acetyl CoA carboxylase was removed when the preparation was incubated with partially purified phosphorylase phosphatase catalytic subunit with regain of enzymatic activity. This endogenous protein kinase was shown not to be affected by either cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor, EGTA, or trifluoperazine. The addition of either cyclic-AMP or purified cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit to the purified acetyl CoA carboxylase preparation increased protein phosphorylation but had no further effect on acetyl CoA carboxylase activity. Purified acetyl CoA carboxylase was shown to act as an ATPase during the phosphorylation reaction.
