TL;DR: A novel isoform of ACC2 (ACC2.v2) is reported that is expressed at significant levels in human adipose, suggesting that ACC2, in addition to ACC1, may play a role in lipogenesis.

Abstract: Acetyl-CoA carboxylases ACC1 and ACC2 catalyze the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA, regulating fatty-acid synthesis and oxidation, and are potential targets for treatment of metabolic syndrome. Expression of ACC1 in rodent lipogenic tissues and ACC2 in rodent oxidative tissues, coupled with the predicted localization of ACC2 to the mitochondrial membrane, have suggested separate functional roles for ACC1 in lipogenesis and ACC2 in fatty acid oxidation. We find, however, that human adipose tissue, unlike rodent adipose, expresses more ACC2 mRNA relative to the oxidative tissues muscle and heart. Human adipose, along with human liver, expresses more ACC2 than ACC1. Using RT-PCR, real-time PCR, and immunoprecipitation we report a novel isoform of ACC2 (ACC2.v2) that is expressed at significant levels in human adipose. The protein generated by this isoform has enzymatic activity, is endogenously expressed in adipose, and lacks the N-terminal sequence. Both ACC2 isoforms are capable of de novo lipogenesis, suggesting that ACC2, in addition to ACC1, may play a role in lipogenesis. The results demonstrate a significant difference in ACC expression between human and rodents, which may introduce difficulties for the use of rodent models for development of ACC inhibitors.

Structure and function of biotin-dependent carboxylases
TL;DR: Understanding ofiotin-dependent carboxylases has been greatly enhanced over the past few years by the crystal structures of the holoenzymes of PCC, MCC, PC, and UC, which provide a molecular basis for understanding their catalytic mechanism as well as the large collection of disease-causing mutations.

TL;DR: Current knowledge of the roles of lipid metabolism and function in the CNS are reviewed and how modulating these pathways may offer novel therapeutic options for treating ALS is discussed.
Targeting demyelination and virtual hypoxia with high-dose biotin as a treatment for progressive multiple sclerosis.
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that high-dose biotin is exerting a therapeutic effect in patients with progressive MS through two different and complementary mechanisms: by promoting axonal remyelination by enhancing myelin production and by reducing axonal hypoxia through enhanced energy production.

A computer program for aligning a cDNA sequence with a genomic DNA sequence.
TL;DR: A freely available computer program solves the problem of efficiently aligning a transcribed and spliced DNA sequence with a genomic sequence containing that gene, allowing for introns in the genomic sequence and a relatively small number of sequencing errors.
