The dynamic organization of fungal acetyl-CoA carboxylase

Acetyl-CoA carboxylases are central regulatory hubs of fatty acid metabolism and are important targets for drug development in obesity and cancer. Here, the authors demonstrate that the regulation of these highly dynamic enzymes in fungi is governed by a mechanism based on phosphorylation-dependent...

Description
Summary:Acetyl-CoA carboxylases are central regulatory hubs of fatty acid metabolism and are important targets for drug development in obesity and cancer. Here, the authors demonstrate that the regulation of these highly dynamic enzymes in fungi is governed by a mechanism based on phosphorylation-dependent conformational variability.
