Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) is a major rate-limiting enzyme of fatty acid biosynthesis; its product, malonyl-CoA, also contributes to the regulation of fatty acid oxidation and elongation. Using monospecific antibodies directed against rat liver ACC and N- and C-terminal antipeptide antibodies raised against predicted sequences of the cloned ACC of Mr 265,000, we have identified a unique biotin-containing cytosolic protein of molecular mass 280,000 daltons that is distinct from this 265,000-dalton protein. This protein is uniquely expressed in rat cardiac and skeletal muscle but is co-expressed with the 265,000-dalton protein in rat liver, mammary gland, and brown adipose tissue. In the fed rat, white adipose tissue contains only the 265,000-dalton protein. Like the 265,000-dalton protein, the 280,000-dalton protein is present predominantly in the cytosolic fraction of liver. In the liver, the content of both proteins is diminished on fasting and increases on fasting/refeeding with a high carbohydrate diet. In contrast, the cardiac and skeletal muscle 280,000-dalton protein content is unaltered by nutritional manipulation. Avidin-Sepharose isolates of citrate-dependent ACC from the heart reveal only the 280,000-dalton protein, while white adipose tissue isolates show only the 265,000 form. These species differ in the sensitivity to citrate activation and in the Km for acetyl-CoA. Antibodies reactive with the 280,000-dalton protein on immunoblotting precipitate ACC activity i...
