    Notes: Abstract ATP:citrate lyase (EC 4.1.3.8) has been identified in cell-free extracts from the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger. The enzyme was located in the cytosol. It exhibits an activity at least ten times that of acetate-CoA-kinase (EC 6.2.1.1) during growth on carbohydrates as carbon sources, and is thus considered responsible for acetyl-CoA formation under these conditions. It is formed constitutively and its biosynthesis does not appear to be controlled by changes in the nitrogen or carbon source or type. ATP:citrate-lyase appears to be very labile during conventional purification procedures; a method involving fast protein liquid anion exchange chromatography was thus developed in order to obtain enzyme preparations sufficiently free of enzymes which could interfere with kinetic investigations. This preparation displays commonly known characteristics of ATP:citrate lyase with respect to substrate affinities and cofactor requirements, with the exception that the affinity for citrate is rather low (2.5 mM). No activator was found. The enzyme is inhibited by nucleoside diphosphates, nucleoside monophosphates and palmitoyl-CoA. Regulation of ATP:citrate lyase be the energy charge of the cytosol in relation to lipid or citric acid accumulation is discussed in view of these findings.
