Humans have 3 different PANK enzymes (PANK1-3) that catalyze the first step in the de novo synthesis of Coenzyme A (CoA). All PANKs are feedback inhibited by acyl-CoAs but only PANK2 can overcome this inhibition by binding palmitoyl-carnitine. Previous studies, conducted under glucose-replete conditions, have failed to detect a PANK2-mediated contribution to CoA synthesis. We found that exposure to BSA-conjugated palmitate (PAL-BSA) led to activation of fatty acid oxidation (FAO) and the accumulation of both palmitoyl-carnitine and palmitoyl-CoA in HEK293T cells, suggesting that PANK2 is active under these conditions. Isotope tracing experiments with 13C15N-pantothenate showed that PANK2 uniquely sustains de novo CoA synthesis and high production of Acetyl-CoA in the presence of long-chain fatty acids, indicating that FAO is limited by CoA availability in these conditions. Consistent with this mechanism, fibroblasts from PKAN patients exhibited impaired oxidation of palmitoyl-carnitine, confirming the functional relevance of our results in a disease context.
