Popis: Nitric oxide (NO), produced primarily by nitric oxide synthase enzymes, is known to influence energy metabolism by stimulating fat uptake and oxidation. The effects of NO on de novo lipogenesis (DNL), however, are less clear. Here we demonstrate that hepatic expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase is reduced following prolonged administration of a hypercaloric high-fat diet. This results in marked reduction in the amount of S-nitrosylation of liver proteins including notably acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), the rate-limiting enzyme in DNL. We further show that ACC S-nitrosylation markedly increases enzymatic activity. Diminished endothelial nitric oxide synthase expression and ACC S-nitrosylation may thus represent a physiological adaptation to caloric excess by constraining lipogenesis. Our findings demonstrate that S-nitrosylation of liver proteins is subject to dietary control and suggest that DNL is coupled to dietary and metabolic conditions through ACC S-nitrosylation.
