High Rates of Fatty Acid Oxidation during Reperfusion of Ischemic Hearts Are Associated with a Decrease in Malonyl-CoA Levels Due to an Increase in 5′-AMP-activated Protein Kinase Inhibition of Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase
TL;DR: Accumulation of 5′-AMP during ischemia results in an activation of AMP-activated protein kinase, which phosphorylates and inactivates ACC during reperfusion, and the subsequent decrease in malonyl-CoA levels will result in accelerated fatty acid oxidation rates during reperFusion of ischemic hearts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of 5'AMP-activated protein kinase activity in the heart and its role in inhibiting acetyl-CoA carboxylase during reperfusion following ischemia.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that rat hearts have a high AMPK activity, comparable to that found in liver, which could be stimulated up to 3-fold by 5'AMP, and low ACC activity could be reversed if ACC was extracted from hearts in the absence of phosphatase inhibitors, suggesting that phosphorylation of ACC decreased enzyme activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phosphorylation control of cardiac acetyl-CoA carboxylase by cAMP-dependent protein kinase and 5'-AMP activated protein kinase.

TL;DR: The immunoprecipitation and the purification studies suggest that the two isoforms of ACC in the heart exist in a heterodimeric structure, and that this structure is tightly associated with the alpha2 subunit of AMPK.
