Abstract
Global sustainable development faces a significant challenge in effectively utilizing CO2. Meanwhile, CO2 biological fixation offers a promising solution. CO2 has the highest oxidation state (+4 valence state), whereas typical multi‑carbon chemicals have lower valence states. The Gibbs free energy (ΔG) changes of CO2 reductive reactions are generally positive and this renders it necessary to input different forms of energy. Although biological carbon fixation processes are friendly to operate, the thermodynamic obstacles must be overcome. To make this reaction occur favorably and efficiently, diverse strategies to enhance CO2 biological fixation efficiency have been proposed by numerous researchers. This article reviews recent advances in optimizing CO2 biological fixation and intends to provide new insights into achieving efficient biological utilization of CO2. It first outlines the thermodynamic characteristics of diverse carbon fixation reactions and proposes optimization directions for CO2 biological fixation. A comprehensive overview of the catalytic mechanisms, optimization strategies, and challenges encountered by common carbon-fixing enzymes is then provided. Subsequently, potential routes for improving the efficiency of biological carbon fixation are discussed, including the ATP supply, reducing power supply, energy supply, reactor design, and carbon enrichment system modules. In addition, effective artificial carbon fixation pathways were summarized and analyzed. Finally, prospects are made for the research direction of continuously improving the efficiency of biological carbon fixation.

Abstract
The Escherichia coli heteromeric acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) has four subunits assumed to form an elusive catalytic complex and are involved in allosteric and transcriptional regulation. The E. coli ACC represents almost all ACCs from pathogenic bacteria making it a key antibiotic development target to fight growing antibiotic resistance. Furthermore, it is a model for cyanobacterial and plant plastid ACCs as biofuel engineering targets. Here we report the catalytic E. coli ACC complex surprisingly forms tubes rather than dispersed particles. The cryo-EM structure reveals key protein-protein interactions underpinning efficient catalysis and how transcriptional regulatory roles are masked during catalysis. Discovering the protein-protein interaction interfaces that facilitate catalysis, allosteric and transcriptional regulation provides new routes to engineering catalytic activity and new targets for drug discovery.

Chloroflexus aurantiacus acetyl-CoA carboxylase evolves fused biotin carboxylase and biotin carboxyl carrier protein to complete carboxylation activity. mBio 2024; 15:e0341423.

Abstract
Acetyl-CoA carboxylases (ACCs) convert acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA, a key step in fatty acid biosynthesis and autotrophic carbon fixation pathways. Three functionally distinct components, biotin carboxylase (BC), biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP), and carboxyltransferase (CT), are either separated or partially fused in different combinations, forming heteromeric ACCs. However, an ACC with fused BC-BCCP and separate CT has not been identified, leaving its catalytic mechanism unclear. Here, we identify two BC isoforms (BC1 and BC2) from Chloroflexus aurantiacus, a filamentous anoxygenic phototroph that employs 3-hydroxypropionate (3-HP) bi-cycle rather than Calvin cycle for autotrophic carbon fixation. We reveal that BC1 possesses fused BC and BCCP domains, where BCCP could be biotinylated by E. coli or C. aurantiacus BirA on Lys553 residue. Crystal structures of BC1 and BC2 at 3.2 Å and 3.0 Å resolutions, respectively, further reveal a tetramer of two BC1-BC homodimers, and a BC2 homodimer, all exhibiting similar BC architectures. The two BC1-BC homodimers are connected by an eight-stranded β-barrel of the partially resolved BCCP domain. Disruption of β-barrel results in dissociation of the tetramer into dimers in solution and decreased biotin carboxylase activity. Biotinylation of the BCCP domain further promotes BC1 and CTβ-CTα interactions to form an enzymatically active ACC, which converts acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA in vitro and produces 3-HP via co-expression with a recombinant malonyl-CoA reductase in E. coli cells. This study revealed a heteromeric ACC that evolves fused BC-BCCP but separate CTα and CTβ to complete ACC activity.IMPORTANCEAcetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in fatty acid biosynthesis and autotrophic carbon fixation pathways across a wide range of organisms, making them attractive targets for drug discovery against various infections and diseases. Although structural studies on homomeric ACCs, which consist of a single protein with three subunits, have revealed the "swing domain model" where the biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP) domain translocates between biotin carboxylase (BC) and carboxyltransferase (CT) active sites to facilitate the reaction, our understanding of the subunit composition and catalytic mechanism in heteromeric ACCs remains limited. Here, we identify a novel ACC from an ancient anoxygenic photosynthetic bacterium Chloroflexus aurantiacus, it evolves fused BC and BCCP domain, but separate CT components to form an enzymatically active ACC, which converts acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA in vitro and produces 3-hydroxypropionate (3-HP) via co-expression with recombinant malonyl-CoA reductase in E. coli cells. These findings expand the diversity and molecular evolution of heteromeric ACCs and provide a structural basis for potential applications in 3-HP biosynthesis.

Abstract
The relationship between drug-target residence time and the post-antibiotic effect (PAE) provides insights into target vulnerability. To probe the vulnerability of bacterial acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), a series of heterobivalent inhibitors were synthesized based on pyridopyrimidine 1 and moiramide B (3) which bind to the biotin carboxylase and carboxyltransferase ACC active sites, respectively. The heterobivalent compound 17, which has a linker of 50 Å, was a tight binding inhibitor of Escherichia coli ACC (Kiapp 0.2 nM) and could be displaced from ACC by a combination of both 1 and 3 but not just by 1. In agreement with the prolonged occupancy of ACC resulting from forced proximity binding, the heterobivalent inhibitors produced a PAE in E. coli of 1-4 h in contrast to 1 and 3 in combination or alone, indicating that ACC is a vulnerable target and highlighting the utility of kinetic, time-dependent effects in the drug mechanism of action.

Proteomic analysis of Burkholderia zhejiangensis CEIB S4-3 during the methyl parathion degradation process. PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2022; 187:105197. [PMID: 36127069 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2022.105197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2022] [Revised: 06/24/2022] [Accepted: 08/02/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Methyl parathion is an organophosphorus pesticide widely employed worldwide to control pests in agricultural and domestic environments. However, due to its intensive use, high toxicity, and environmental persistence, methyl parathion is recognized as an important ecosystem and human health threat, causing severe environmental pollution events and numerous human poisoning and deaths each year. Therefore, identifying and characterizing microorganisms capable of fully degrading methyl parathion and its degradation metabolites is a crucial environmental task for the bioremediation of pesticide-polluted sites. Burkholderia zhejiangensis CEIB S4-3 is a bacterial strain isolated from agricultural soils capable of immediately hydrolyzing methyl parathion at a concentration of 50 mg/L and degrading the 100% of the released p-nitrophenol in a 12-hour lapse when cultured in minimal salt medium. In this study, a comparative proteomic analysis was conducted in the presence and absence of methyl parathion to evaluate the biological mechanisms implicated in the methyl parathion biodegradation and resistance by the strain B. zhejiangensis CEIB S4-3. In each treatment, the changes in the protein expression patterns were evaluated at three sampling times, zero, three, and nine hours through the use of two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE), and the differentially expressed proteins were identified by mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF). The proteomic analysis allowed the identification of 72 proteins with differential expression, 35 proteins in the absence of the pesticide, and 37 proteins in the experimental condition in the presence of methyl parathion. The identified proteins are involved in different metabolic processes such as the carbohydrate and amino acids metabolism, carbon metabolism and energy production, fatty acids β-oxidation, and the aromatic compounds catabolism, including enzymes of the both p-nitrophenol degradation pathways (Hydroquinone dioxygenase and Hydroxyquinol 1,2 dioxygenase), as well as the overexpression of proteins implicated in cellular damage defense mechanisms such as the response and protection of the oxidative stress, reactive oxygen species defense, detoxification of xenobiotics, and DNA repair processes. According to these data, B. zhejiangensis CEIB S4-3 overexpress different proteins related to aromatic compounds catabolism and with the p-nitrophenol degradation pathways, the higher expression levels observed in the two subunits of the enzyme Hydroquinone dioxygenase, suggest a preferential use of the Hydroquinone metabolic pathway in the p-nitrophenol degradation process. Moreover the overexpression of several proteins implicated in the oxidative stress response, xenobiotics detoxification, and DNA damage repair reveals the mechanisms employed by B. zhejiangensis CEIB S4-3 to counteract the adverse effects caused by the methyl parathion and p-nitrophenol exposure.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is implicated as a cytoprotective agent that bacteria employ in response to host-induced stressors, such as oxidative stress and antibiotics. The physiological benefits often attributed to H2S, however, are likely a result of downstream, more oxidized forms of sulfur, collectively termed reactive sulfur species (RSS) and including the organic persulfide (RSSH). Here, we investigated the metabolic response of the commensal gut microorganism Enterococcus faecalis to exogenous Na2S as a proxy for H2S/RSS toxicity. We found that exogenous sulfide increases protein abundance for enzymes responsible for the biosynthesis of coenzyme A (CoA). Proteome S-sulfuration (persulfidation), a posttranslational modification implicated in H2S signal transduction, is also widespread in this organism and is significantly elevated by exogenous sulfide in CstR, the RSS sensor, coenzyme A persulfide (CoASSH) reductase (CoAPR) and enzymes associated with de novo fatty acid biosynthesis and acetyl-CoA synthesis. Exogenous sulfide significantly impacts the speciation of fatty acids as well as cellular concentrations of acetyl-CoA, suggesting that protein persulfidation may impact flux through these pathways. Indeed, CoASSH is an inhibitor of E. faecalis phosphotransacetylase (Pta), suggesting that an important metabolic consequence of increased levels of H2S/RSS may be over-persulfidation of this key metabolite, which, in turn, inhibits CoA and acyl-CoA-utilizing enzymes. Our 2.05 Å crystallographic structure of CoA-bound CoAPR provides new structural insights into CoASSH clearance in E. faecalis.

Abstract
Biotin-labeled proteins are widely used as tools to study protein-protein interactions and proximity in living cells. Proteomic methods broadly employ proximity-labeling technologies based on protein biotinylation in order to investigate the transient encounters of biomolecules in subcellular compartments. Biotinylation is a post-translation modification in which the biotin molecule is attached to lysine or tyrosine residues. So far, biotin-based technologies proved to be effective instruments as affinity and proximity tags. However, the influence of biotinylation on aspects such as folding, binding, mobility, thermodynamic stability, and kinetics needs to be investigated. Here, we selected two proteins [biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP) and FKBP3] to test the influence of biotinylation on thermodynamic and kinetic properties. Apo (without biotin) and holo (biotinylated) protein structures were used separately to generate all-atom structure-based model simulations in a wide range of temperatures. Holo BCCP contains one biotinylation site, and FKBP3 was modeled with up to 23 biotinylated lysines. The two proteins had their estimated thermodynamic stability changed by altering their energy landscape. In all cases, after comparison between the apo and holo simulations, differences were observed on the free-energy profiles and folding routes. Energetic barriers were altered with the density of states clearly showing changes in the transition state. This study suggests that analysis of large-scale datasets of biotinylation-based proximity experiments might consider possible alterations in thermostability and folding mechanisms imposed by the attached biotins.

Abstract
SUMMARYHeteromeric acetyl‐CoA carboxylase (htACCase) catalyzes the committed step of de novo fatty acid biosynthesis in most plant plastids. Plant htACCase is comprised of four subunits: α‐ and β‐carboxyltransferase (α‐ and β‐CT), biotin carboxylase, and biotin carboxyl carrier protein. Based on in vivo absolute quantification of htACCase subunits, α‐CT is 3‐ to 10‐fold less abundant than its partner subunit β‐CT in developing Arabidopsis seeds [Wilson and Thelen, J. Proteome Res., 2018, 17 (5)]. To test the hypothesis that low expression of α‐CT limits htACCase activity and flux through fatty acid synthesis in planta, we overexpressed Pisum sativum α‐CT, either with or without its C‐terminal non‐catalytic domain, in both Arabidopsis thaliana and Camelina sativa. First‐generation Arabidopsis seed of 35S::Ps α‐CT (n = 25) and 35S::Ps α‐CTΔ406‐875 (n = 47) were on average 14% higher in oil content (% dry weight) than wild type co‐cultivated in a growth chamber. First‐generation camelina seed showed an average 8% increase compared to co‐cultivated wild type. Biochemical analyses confirmed the accumulation of Ps α‐CT and Ps α‐CTΔ406‐875 protein and higher htACCase activity in overexpression lines during early seed development. Overexpressed Ps α‐CT co‐migrated with native At β‐CT during anion exchange chromatography, indicating co‐association. By successfully increasing seed oil content upon heterologous overexpression of α‐CT, we demonstrate how absolute quantitation of in vivo protein complex stoichiometry can be used to guide rational metabolic engineering.

Abstract
Acetyl-CoA carboxylases (ACCs) are enzymes that catalyze the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to produce malonyl-CoA. In mammals, ACC1 and ACC2 are two members of ACCs. ACC1 localizes in the cytosol and acts as the first and rate-limiting enzyme in the de novo fatty acid synthesis pathway. ACC2 localizes on the outer membrane of mitochondria and produces malonyl-CoA to regulate the activity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1) that involves in the β-oxidation of fatty acid. Fatty acid synthesis is central in a myriad of physiological and pathological conditions. ACC1 is the major member of ACCs in mammalian, mountains of documents record the roles of ACC1 in various diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, obesity. Besides, acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA are cofactors in protein acetylation and malonylation, respectively, so that the manipulation of acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA by ACC1 can also markedly influence the profile of protein post-translational modifications, resulting in alternated biological processes in mammalian cells. In the review, we summarize our understandings of ACCs, including their structural features, regulatory mechanisms, and roles in diseases. ACC1 has emerged as a promising target for diseases treatment, so that the specific inhibitors of ACC1 for diseases treatment are also discussed.

Abstract
Metabolic engineering of non-photosynthetic microorganisms to increase the utilization of CO2 has been focused on as a green strategy to convert CO2 into valuable products such as fatty acids. In this study, a CO2 utilization pathway involving carbonic anhydrase and biotin carboxylase was formed to recycle CO2 in the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, thereby increasing the production of fatty acids. In the recombinant strain in which the CO2 utilization pathway was introduced, the production of fatty acids was 10.7 g/L, which was 1.5-fold higher than that of the wild-type strain. The resulting strain had a 1.4-fold increase in dry cell mass compared to the wild-type strain. In addition, linoleic acid was 47.7% in the fatty acid composition of the final strain, which was increased by 11.6% compared to the wild-type strain. These results can be applied as an essential technology for developing efficient and eco-friendly processes by directly utilizing CO2.

Abstract
Ascomycin (FK520) is a multifunctional antibiotic produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus var. ascomyceticus. In this study, we demonstrated that the inactivation of GlnB, a signal transduction protein belonging to the PII family, can increase the production of ascomycin by strengthening the supply of the precursors malonyl-CoA and methylmalonyl-CoA, which are produced by acetyl-CoA carboxylase and propionyl-CoA carboxylase, respectively. Bioinformatics analysis showed that Streptomyces hygroscopicus var. ascomyceticus contains two PII family signal transduction proteins, GlnB and GlnK. Protein co-precipitation experiments demonstrated that GlnB protein could bind to the α subunit of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and this binding could be disassociated by a sufficient concentration of 2-oxoglutarate. Coupled enzyme activity assays further revealed that the interaction between GlnB protein and the α subunit inhibited both the activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and propionyl-CoA carboxylase, and this inhibition could be relieved by 2-oxoglutarate in a concentration-dependent manner. Because GlnK protein can act redundantly to maintain metabolic homeostasis under the control of the global nitrogen regulator GlnR, the deletion of GlnB protein enhanced the supply of malonyl-CoA and methylmalonyl-CoA by restoring the activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and propionyl-CoA carboxylase, thereby improving the production of ascomycin to 390 ± 10 mg/L. On this basis, the co-overexpression of the β and ε subunits of propionyl-CoA carboxylase further increased the ascomycin yield to 550 ± 20 mg/L, which was 1.9-fold higher than that of the parent strain FS35 (287 ± 9 mg/L). Taken together, this study provides a novel strategy to increase the production of ascomycin, providing a reference for improving the yield of other antibiotics.

Abstract
Microalgal cultivation in municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) can realize the coupling of wastewater treatment and microalgae energy utilization, however, the residual antibiotics in effluents from WWTPs affect the growth of microalgae. In this study, green alga (Scenedesmus obliquus) cells were inoculated into the effluents to ascertain the attenuation pathways of erythromycin (ERY) and the biochemical responses of microalga in a microalga-effluent system. Results showed that hydrolysis, photolysis, and biodegradation (including bioadsorption) cause the attenuation of ERY in a microalga-effluent system, and the biodegradation (including bioadsorption) has the greatest removal rate (reaching a maximum of 57.87%), followed by hydrolysis (reaching a maximum of 34.13%), and photolysis (less than 5%) after five days. The photosynthetic pigment contents in cells of microalga decreased the most (by 35.66% for chlorophyll a), and the production of ROS was stimulated (by 33.75%) after five-day exposure to ERY at an initial concentration of 100 μg/L. Meanwhile, the activity of ribulose-1,5-biphosphate carboxylase (RuBPCase) decreased by 55.65%, and the activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) increased by 55.65%. The ROS level, photosynthetic pigment content, and RuBPCase activity were extremely significantly correlated with each other (P < 0.01), indicating that exposure to ERY changed those biochemical responses related to the rate of photosynthesis of microalga, inhibiting the growth thereof. On the other hand, exposure to ERY increased lipid production by microalga through the induced ACCase activity.

Abstract
Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) catalyzes the first committed step in the de novo synthesis of fatty acids. The multisubunit ACCase in the chloroplast is activated by a shift to pH 8 upon light adaptation and is inhibited by a shift to pH 7 upon dark adaptation. Here, titrations with the purified ACCase biotin attachment domain-containing (BADC) and biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP) subunits from Arabidopsis indicated that they can competently and independently bind biotin carboxylase (BC) but differ in responses to pH changes representing those in the plastid stroma during light or dark conditions. At pH 7 in phosphate buffer, BADC1 and BADC2 gain an advantage over BCCP1 and BCCP2 in affinity for BC. At pH 8 in KCl solution, however, BCCP1 and BCCP2 had more than 10-fold higher affinity for BC than did BADC1. The pH-modulated shifts in BC preferences for BCCP and BADC partners suggest they contribute to light-dependent regulation of heteromeric ACCase. Using NMR spectroscopy, we found evidence for increased intrinsic disorder of the BADC and BCCP subunits at pH 7. We propose that this intrinsic disorder potentially promotes fast association with BC through a "fly-casting mechanism." We hypothesize that the pH effects on the BADC and BCCP subunits attenuate ACCase activity by night and enhance it by day. Consistent with this hypothesis, Arabidopsis badc1 badc3 mutant lines grown in a light-dark cycle synthesized more fatty acids in their seeds. In summary, our findings provide evidence that the BADC and BCCP subunits function as pH sensors required for light-dependent switching of heteromeric ACCase activity.

Abstract
Myxococcus xanthus DK1622 is known as a proficient producer of different kinds of secondary metabolites (SM) with various biological activities, including myxovirescin A, myxalamide A, myxochromide A and DKxanthene. Low production of SM in the wild type bacteria makes searching for production optimization methods highly desirable. Identification and induction of endogenous key molecular feature(s) regulating the production level of the metabolites remain promising, while heterologous expression of the biosynthetic genes is not always efficient because of various complicating factors including codon usage bias. This study established proteomic and molecular approaches to elucidate the regulatory roles of the ROK regulatory protein in the modification of secondary metabolite biosynthesis. Interestingly, the results revealed that rok inactivation significantly reduced the production of the SM and also changed the motility in the bacteria. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay using purified ROK protein indicated a direct enhancement of the promoters encoding transcription of the DKxanthene, myxochelin A, and myxalamide A biosynthesis machinery. Comparative proteomic analysis by two-dimensional fluorescence difference in-gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) was employed to identify the protein profiles of the wild type and rok mutant strains during early and late logarithmic growth phases of the bacterial culture. Resulting data demonstrated overall 130 differently altered proteins by the effect of the rok gene mutation, including putative proteins suspected to be involved in transcriptional regulation, carbohydrate metabolism, development, spore formation, and motility. Except for a slight induction seen in the production of myxovirescin A in a rok over-expression background, no changes were found in the formation of the other SM. From the outcome of our investigation, it is possible to conclude that ROK acts as a pleiotropic regulator of secondary metabolite formation and development in M. xanthus, while its direct effects still remain speculative. More experiments are required to elucidate in detail the variable regulation effects of the protein and to explore applicable approaches for generating valuable SM in this bacterium.

Abstract
Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), like most dicotyledonous plants, expresses a multicomponent, heteromeric acetyl-CoA carboxylase (htACCase), which catalyzes the generation of the malonyl-CoA precursor of de novo fatty acid biosynthesis. This enzyme consists of four catalytic subunits: biotin carboxylase (BC), carboxyltransferase (CT)-α, CT-β, and biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP1 or BCCP2). By coexpressing combinations of components in a bacterial expression system, we demonstrate noncatalytic BADCs facilitate the assembly and activation of BCCP-BADC-BC subcomplexes catalyzing the bicarbonate-dependent hydrolysis of ATP, which is the first half-reaction catalyzed by the htACCase enzyme. Although BADC proteins do not directly impact formation of the CT-αβ subcomplex, the BADC-facilitated BCCP-BADC-BC subcomplex can more readily interact with the CT-αβ subcomplex to facilitate the generation of malonyl-CoA. The Arabidopsis genome encodes three BADC isoforms (BADC1, BADC2, and BADC3), and BADC2 and BADC3 (rather than BADC1), in combination with BCCP1, best support this quaternary-structural organization and catalytic activation of the htACCase enzyme. Physiological genetic studies validate these attributes as Arabidopsis double mutants singularly expressing BADC2, BADC3, or BADC1 present increasingly greater deleterious impacts on morphological and biochemical phenotypes. Specifically, plants expressing only BADC2 develop normally, plants only expressing BADC3 suffer a stunted root-growth phenotype, and plants expressing only BADC1 are embryo-lethal. The latter phenotype may also be associated with the distinct suborganelle localization of BADC1 in plastids as compared to the localization of the other two BADC homologs. These finding can inspire novel strategies to improve the biological sources of fats and oils for dietary and industrial applications.

Abstract
Metabolic pathways often employ assemblies of individual enzymes to facilitate substrate channeling to improve thermodynamic efficiency and confer pathway directionality. It is often assumed that subunits to multienzyme complexes are coregulated and accumulate at fixed levels in vivo, reflecting complex stoichiometry. Such assumptions can be experimentally tested using modern tandem mass spectrometry, and herein we describe such an approach applied toward an important metabolic complex. The committed step of de novo fatty acid synthesis in the plastids of most plants is catalyzed by the multienzyme, heteromeric acetyl-CoA carboxylase (hetACCase). This complex is composed of four catalytic subunits and a recently discovered regulatory subunit resembling the biotin carboxyl carrier protein but lacking the biotinylation motif necessary for activity. To better understand this novel form of regulation, a targeted tandem mass-spectrometry-based assay was developed to absolutely quantify all subunits to the Arabidopsis thaliana hetACCase. After validation against pure, recombinant protein, this multiplexed assay was used to quantify hetACCase subunits in siliques in various stages of development. Quantitation provided a developmental profile of hetACCase and BADC protein expression that supports a recently proposed regulatory mechanism for hetACCase and demonstrates a promising application of targeted mass spectrometry for in vivo analysis of protein complexes.

Abstract
Biotin-dependent carboxylases are widely distributed in nature and have central roles in the metabolism of fatty acids, amino acids, carbohydrates, and other compounds. The last decade has seen the accumulation of structural information on most of these large holoenzymes, including the 500-kDa dimeric yeast acetyl-CoA carboxylase, the 750-kDa α6β6 dodecameric bacterial propionyl-CoA carboxylase, 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase, and geranyl-CoA carboxylase, the 720-kDa hexameric bacterial long-chain acyl-CoA carboxylase, the 500-kDa tetrameric bacterial single-chain pyruvate carboxylase, the 370-kDa α2β4 bacterial two-subunit pyruvate carboxylase, and the 130-kDa monomeric eukaryotic urea carboxylase. A common theme that has emerged from these studies is the dramatic structural flexibility of these holoenzymes despite their strong overall sequence conservation, evidenced both by the extensive diversity in the architectures of the holoenzymes and by the extensive conformational variability of their domains and subunits. This structural flexibility is crucial for the function and regulation of these enzymes and identifying compounds that can interfere with it represents an attractive approach for developing novel modulators and drugs. The extensive diversity observed in the structures so far and its biochemical and functional implications will be the focus of this review.

Abstract
Biotin‐dependent acetyl‐CoA carboxylases catalyze the committed step in type II fatty acid biosynthesis, the main route for production of membrane phospholipids in bacteria, and are considered a key target for antibacterial drug discovery. Here we describe the first structure of AccA3, an essential component of the acetyl‐CoA carboxylase system in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb). The structure, sequence comparisons, and modeling of ligand‐bound states reveal that the ATP cosubstrate‐binding site shows distinct differences compared to other bacterial and eukaryotic biotin carboxylases, including all human homologs. This suggests the possibility to design MTb AccA3 subtype‐specific inhibitors. Database Coordinates and structure factors have been deposited in the Protein Data Bank with the accession number 5MLK.

Abstract
3-Hydroxypropionate (3HP) is an attractive platform chemical, serving as a precursor to a variety of commodity chemicals like acrylate and acrylamide, as well as a monomer of a biodegradable plastic. To establish a sustainable way to produce these commercially important chemicals and materials, fermentative production of 3HP is widely investigated in recent years. It is reported that 3HP can be produced from several intermediates, such as glycerol, malonyl-CoA, and β-alanine. Among all these biosynthetic routes, the malonyl-CoA pathway has some distinct advantages, including a broad feedstock spectrum, thermodynamic feasibility, and redox neutrality. To date, this pathway has been successfully constructed in various species including Escherichia coli, yeast and cyanobacteria, and optimized through carbon flux redirection, enzyme screening and engineering, and an increasing supply of energy and cofactors, resulting in significantly enhanced 3HP titer up to 40 g/L. These results show the feasibility of commercial manufacturing of 3HP and its derivatives in the future.

Abstract
Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) catalyzes the committed step of de novo fatty acid biosynthesis. In prokaryotes, green algae, and most plants, this enzyme is a heteromeric complex requiring four different subunits for activity. The plant complex is recalcitrant to conventional purification schemes and hence the structure and composition of the full assembly have been unclear. In vivo coimmunoprecipitation using subunit-specific antibodies identified a novel family of proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana annotated as biotin/lipoyl attachment domain containing (BADC) proteins. Results from yeast two-hybrid and coexpression in Escherichia coli confirmed that all three BADC isoforms interact with the two biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP) isoforms of Arabidopsis ACCase. These proteins resemble BCCP subunits but are not biotinylated due to a mutated biotinylation motif. We demonstrate that BADC proteins significantly inhibit ACCase activity in both E. coli and Arabidopsis. Targeted gene silencing of BADC isoform 1 in Arabidopsis significantly increased seed oil content when normalized to either mass or individual seed. We conclude the BADC proteins are ancestral BCCPs that gained a new function as negative regulators of ACCase after initial loss of the biotinylation motif. A functional model is proposed.

Abstract
The enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) catalyzes the committed step of the de novo fatty acid biosynthesis (FAS) pathway by converting acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA. Two forms of ACCase exist in nature, a homomeric and heteromic form. The heteromeric form of this enzyme requires four different subunits for activity: biotin carboxylase; biotin carboxyl carrier protein; and α- and β-carboxyltransferases. Heteromeric ACCases (htACCase) can be found in prokaryotes and the plastids of most plants. The plant htACCase is regulated by diverse mechanisms reflected by the biochemical and genetic complexity of this multienzyme complex and the plastid stroma where it resides. In this review we summarize the regulation of the plant htACCase and also describe the structural characteristics of this complex from both prokaryotes and plants. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Plant Lipid Biology edited by Kent D. Chapman and Ivo Feussner.

Abstract
The PII family comprises a group of widely distributed signal transduction proteins. The archetypal function of PII is to regulate nitrogen metabolism in bacteria. As PII can sense a range of metabolic signals, it has been suggested that the number of metabolic pathways regulated by PII may be much greater than described in the literature. In order to provide experimental evidence for this hypothesis a PII protein affinity column was used to identify PII targets in Azospirillum brasilense. One of the PII partners identified was the biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP), a component of the acetyl-CoA carboxylase which catalyses the committed step in fatty acid biosynthesis. As BCCP had been previously identified as a PII target in Arabidopsis thaliana we hypothesized that the PII -BCCP interaction would be conserved throughout Bacteria. In vitro experiments using purified proteins confirmed that the PII -BCCP interaction is conserved in Escherichia coli. The BCCP-PII interaction required MgATP and was dissociated by increasing 2-oxoglutarate. The interaction was modestly affected by the post-translational uridylylation status of PII ; however, it was completely dependent on the post-translational biotinylation of BCCP.
