Acetyl-CoA Synthetase 1 Regulates Global Histone Propionylation and Metabolic Stress Responses

Show abstract
Cells and organisms are often exposed to various metabolic environments that require adaptive responses for survival. One common way cells adapt to fluctuating nutrient environments is through regulated transcription of metabolic genes. Intermediary metabolites, such as acetyl-CoA, produced by metabolic pathways, serve as cofactors for histone post-translational modifications, which in turn regulate gene expression. However, increasing evidence shows that non-acetyl acyl-CoAs, such as propionyl-CoA, participate in gene regulation during metabolic stress. In this report, we find that histone propionylation functions as a global response to glucose starvation. Furthermore, we find that Acetyl-CoA Synthetase 1 (Acs1) binds chromatin and is the primary enzyme responsible for generating propionyl-CoA in the nucleus. Together, our findings reveal that Acs1-mediated histone propionylation constitutes a novel pathway for metabolic adaptation, linking nutrient availability to chromatin modification.
