AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has previously been demonstrated to phosphorylate and inactivate skeletal muscle acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), the enzyme responsible for synthesis of malonyl-CoA, an inhibitor of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 and fatty acid oxidation. Contraction-induced activation of AMPK with subsequent phosphorylation/inactivation of ACC has been postulated to be responsible in part for the increase in fatty acid oxidation that occurs in muscle during exercise. These studies were designed to answer the question: Does phosphorylation of ACC by AMPK make palmitoyl-CoA a more effective inhibitor of ACC? Purified rat muscle ACC was subjected to phosphorylation by AMPK. Activity was determined on nonphosphorylated and phosphorylated ACC preparations at acetyl-CoA concentrations ranging from 2 to 500 μM and at palmitoyl-CoA concentrations ranging from 0 to 100 μM. Phosphorylation resulted in a significant decline in the substrate saturation curve at all palmitoyl-CoA concentrations. The inhibitor constant for palmitoyl-CoA inhibition of ACC was reduced from 1.7 ± 0.25 to 0.85 ± 0.13 μM as a consequence of phosphorylation. At 0.5 mM citrate, ACC activity was reduced to 13% of control values in response to the combination of phosphorylation and 10 μM palmitoyl-CoA. Skeletal muscle ACC is more potently inhibited by palmitoyl-CoA after having been phosphorylated by AMPK. This may contribute to low-muscle malonyl-CoA values and increasing fatty acid oxidation rates during long-term exercise when plasma fatty acid concentrations are elevated.

5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide 1-β-d-ribofuranoside (AICAR) is taken up by perfused skeletal muscle and phosphorylated to form 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-d-ribofuraosyl-5′-monophosphate (analog of 5′-AMP) with consequent activation of AMP-activated protein kinase, phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, decrease in malonyl-CoA, and increase in fatty acid oxidation. This study was designed to determine the effect of increasing levels of palmitate on the rate of fatty acid oxidation. Malonyl-CoA concentration was manipulated with AICAR at different palmitate concentrations. Rat hindlimbs were perfused with Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate containing 4% bovine serum albumin, washed bovine red cells, 200 μU/ml insulin, 10 mM glucose, and different concentrations of palmitate (0.1–1.0 mM) without or with AICAR (2.0 mM). Perfusion with medium containing AICAR was found to activate AMP-activated protein kinase in skeletal muscle, inactivate acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and decrease malonyl-CoA at all concentrations of palmitate. The rate of palmitate oxidation increased as a function of palmitate concentration in both the presence and absence of AICAR but was always higher in the presence of AICAR. These results provide additional evidence that malonyl-CoA is an important regulator of the rate of fatty acid oxidation at palmitate concentrations in the physiological range.

Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase 1

Exercise induces a decline in liver malonyl-CoA, an inhibitor of carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1. The purpose of these experiments was to determine whether this decrease in malonyl-CoA is accompanied by an activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and inactivation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC). Rats were killed at rest, after 10 min of running at 32 m/min up a 15% grade or at 0, 15, or 60 min postexercise after 120 min of running at 16 m/min. There was no significant difference in AMPK and ACC activities after 120 min of exercise, although a trend toward a decrease in ACC and an increase in AMPK was noted 15 min postexercise. After 10 min at 32 m/min, however, maximal ACC activity decreased from 487 ± 27 to 280 ± 39 nmol ⋅ g−1 ⋅ min−1, and the activation constant for citrate activation of ACC increased from 5.9 to 12.5 mM. AMPK activity increased from a resting value of 4.7 ± 0.4 to 9.8 ± 2.0 pmol ⋅ mg−1 ⋅ min−1after exercise. These data provide indirect evidence of phosphorylation and inactivation of liver ACC during heavy exercise. In contrast, the decrease in malonyl-CoA during long-term, low-intensity exercise may occur by mechanisms other than phosphorylation of ACC.

The effect of diabetes and exercise on skeletal muscle (SkM) AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)α1 and -α2 activities and site-specific phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase was examined in the same six dogs before alloxan (35 mg/kg)-induced diabetes (C) and after 4-5 wk of suboptimally controlled hyperglycemic and hypoinsulinemic diabetes (DHG) in the presence and absence of 300-min phlorizin (50 μg·kg-1·min-1)-induced “normoglycemia” (DNG). In each study, the dog underwent a 150-min [3-3H]glucose infusion period, followed by a 30-min treadmill exercise test (60-70% maximal oxygen capacity) to measure the rate of glucose disposal into peripheral tissues (Rdtissue). SkM biopsies were taken from the thigh (vastus lateralis) before and immediately after exercise. In the C and DHG states, the rise in plasma free fatty acids (FFA) with exercise (∼40%) was similar. In the DNG group, preexercise FFA were significantly higher, but the absolute rise in FFA with exercise was similar. However, the exercise-induced increment in Rdtissue was significantly blunted (by ∼40-50%) in the DNG group compared with the other states. In SkM, preexercise AMPKα1 and -α2 activities were significantly elevated (by ∼60-125%) in both diabetic states, but unlike the C group these activities did not rise further with exercise. Additionally, preexercise acetyl-CoA carboxylase phosphorylation in both diabetic states was elevated by ∼70-80%, but the increases with exercise were similar to the C group. Preexercise AMPKα1 and -α2 activities were negatively correlated with Rdtissue during exercise for the combined groups (both P < 0.02). In conclusion, the elevated preexercise SkM AMPKα1 and -α2 activities contribute to the ongoing basal supply of glucose and fatty acid metabolism in suboptimally controlled hypoinsulinemic diabetic dogs; but whether they also play a permissive role in the metabolic stress response to exercise remains uncertain.
