Regulation of mouse hepatic ATP-citrate lyase activity by dietary fat. Evidence for the presence of inactive enzyme.
The induction of ATP-citrate lyase activity in mouse liver dietary carbohydrate (glucose) in markedly reduced by including in the diet a source of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Within 72 h after changing from a standard mouse chow diet to a high carbohydrate diet containing 15% (W/W) of hydrogenated cottonseed oil (as a source of saturated fatty acids), the activity of mouse liver ATP-citrate lyase per milligram cytosolic protein was approx. 3-fold higher than that from mice fed a similar diet containing 15% (W/W) of corn oil. The rate of synthesis of ATP-citrate lyase relative to that for total protein and the rate of degradation of the enzyme were similar for both dietary groups. Elevated levels of enzyme activity in the hydrogenated cottonseed oil-fed livers were not accompanied by a similar increase in the amount of enzyme protein., To explain such findings, we propose that the activity of hepatic ATP-citrate lyase is regulated by dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids through a mechanism involving the conversion of a catalytically active form of the enzyme to a catalytically inactive form. A reversal of this conversion (inactive-active) is evident within 72 h of removing the mice from the corn oil diet and placing them on the hydrogenated cottonseed oil diet. Furthermore, the conversion appears to be independent of the in vivo rate of synthesis of the enzyme.
