Abstract

SUMMARY Acetate is a major nutrient that supports acetyl-coenzyme A (Ac-CoA) metabolism and thus lipogenesis and protein acetylation. Its source however has been unclear. Here we report that pyruvate, the end product of glycolysis and key node in central carbon metabolism, quantitatively generates acetate in mammals. This phenomenon becomes more pronounced in contexts of nutritional excess such as during hyperactive glucose metabolism. Conversion of pyruvate to acetate occurs through two mechanisms: 1) coupling to reactive oxygen species (ROS), and 2) neomorphic enzyme activity from keto acid dehydrogenases that enable function as pyruvate decarboxylases. Further, we demonstrate that de novo acetate production sustains Ac-CoA pools and cell proliferation in limited metabolic environments such as during mitochondrial dysfunction or ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) deficiency. De novo acetate production occurs in mammals and is further coupled to mitochondrial metabolism providing possible regulatory mechanisms and links to pathophysiology.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
