1 14766011 The polyketide natural product soraphen is a potent inhibitor of the BC (biotin carboxylase) domain of endogenous fungal ACC.
2 15968460 Mice deficient in ACC2 have continuous fatty acid oxidation and reduced body fat and body weight, validating this enzyme as a target for drug development against obesity, diabetes and other symptoms of the metabolic syndrome.
3 15968460 ACC is a biotin-dependent enzyme and catalyzes the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to produce malonyl-CoA through its two catalytic activities, biotin carboxylase (BC) and carboxyltransferase (CT).
4 16983687 At the basic research level, the crystal structures of the biotin carboxylase (BC) and the carboxyltransferase (CT) components of ACC have been determined, and the molecular basis for ACC inhibition by small molecules are beginning to be understood.
5 18221116 Studies in ACC2 knockout mice and in experimental animals treated with isozyme-specific antisense oligonucleotides or with isozyme-nonselective ACC inhibitors have demonstrated the potential for treating metabolic syndrome through this modality.
6 18221116 Co-crystallization of the biotin carboxylase and carboxyltransferase domains of eukaryotic ACC in the presence of substrates and inhibitors has revealed characteristics of the catalytic center that can be exploited in drug discovery.
7 23358327 In mammals, ACCs have both biotin carboxylase (BC) and carboxyltransferase (CT) activity, catalyzing carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA.
