Abstract
Adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) is required for efficient mobilization of triglyceride (TG) stores in adipose tissue and non-adipose tissues. Therefore, ATGL strongly determines the availability of fatty acids for metabolic reactions. ATGL activity is regulated by a complex network of lipolytic and anti-lipolytic hormones. These signals control enzyme expression and the interaction of ATGL with the regulatory proteins CGI-58 and G0S2. Up to date, it was unknown whether ATGL activity is also controlled by lipid intermediates generated during lipolysis. Here we show that ATGL activity is inhibited by long-chain acyl-CoAs in a non-competitive manner, similar as previously shown for hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), the rate-limiting enzyme for diglyceride breakdown in adipose tissue. ATGL activity is only marginally inhibited by medium-chain acyl-CoAs, diglycerides, monoglycerides, and free fatty acids. Immunoprecipitation assays revealed that acyl-CoAs do not disrupt the protein-protein interaction of ATGL and its co-activator CGI-58. Furthermore, inhibition of ATGL is independent of the presence of CGI-58 and occurs directly at the N-terminal patatin-like phospholipase domain of the enzyme. In conclusion, our results suggest that inhibition of the major lipolytic enzymes ATGL and HSL by long-chain acyl-CoAs could represent an effective feedback mechanism controlling lipolysis and protecting cells from lipotoxic concentrations of fatty acids and fatty acid-derived lipid metabolites.Entities:

Fig. 1ATGL is inhibited by oleoyl-CoA. (A) Western blot analysis of COS-7 cell lysates overexpressing ATGL and CGI-58. (B) TG hydrolase activity of ATGL in presence of 50 μM oleoyl-CoA, free CoA, free oleic acid, rac-MO, rac-DO and a thioether analog of palmitoyl-CoA (Hexdecyl-CoA). (C) Effect of BSA on oleoyl-CoA mediated inhibition of ATGL activity. The specific activity decreased from 3.2 μmol/h·mg to 1.7 μmol/h·mg when the BSA concentration was reduced from 5% (360 μM) to 0.05%. Data are presented as mean ± S.D. from triplicate determinations and representative for at least three independent experiments.
Fig. 2ATGL and HSL are specifically inhibited by long-chain acyl-CoAs. (A) TG hydrolase activity of COS-7 cell lysates overexpressing ATGL/CGI-58 or HSL in presence of acyl-CoAs with different acyl-chain lengths. (B), (C), (D) Acyl-CoA-mediated inhibiton of TG hydrolase activity in WAT lysates of wild-type, ATGL-ko, and HSL-ko mice, respectively. The specific activity of wild-type lysate was 412 ± 77 nmol/h·mg. TG hydrolase activities in ATGL-ko and HSL-ko samples are decreased by 65% and 72%, respectively, as described earlier [20]. Data are presented mean ± S.D. from triplicate determinations and representative for two independent experiments.
Fig. 3Oleoyl-CoA directly interacts with the N-terminal domain of ATGL and does not affect the protein interaction of ATGL and CGI-58. (A) Oleoyl-CoA-mediated inhibiton of wild-type ATGL and the truncated Q289ter mutant without addition of CGI-58. (B) Effect of C12-CoA and C18:1-CoA on the protein–protein interaction of ATGL and CGI-58. Cos-7 cells were co-transfected with His-tagged CGI-58 and FLAG-tagged ATGL. After incubation with the lysates, FLAG-beads were incubated for 20 min with indicated concentrations of acyl-CoAs at 37 °C. After extensive washing, proteins were eluted by boiling in SDS-containing sample puffer and subjected to Western blot analysis. (C) Oleoyl-CoA-mediated inhibiton of Strep-tagged ATGL and CGI-58 expressed in E. coli. The specific activity of these lysates ranged from 100 to 400 nmol/h·mg depending on the expression levels of recombinant proteins. Activity data are presented as mean ± S.D. from triplicate determinations and representative for three independent experiments.

(A) Substrate saturation. (B) Time-dependent release of fatty acids in the absence and presence of oleoyl-CoA. (C) Inhibition kinetics raw data. Inhibition kinetics assays where performed in a concentration range of 200 to 800 μM substrate and the indicated concentrations of oleoyl-CoA. (D) Lineweaver–Burk blot of the data shown in (C) indicating a non-competitive inhibition mechanism. Data are presented as mean ± S.D. from triplicate determinations and are representative for two independent experiments.
