    Abstract Organisms must be able to selectively tailor their ability to use the macronutrients of carbohydrate, protein, and fat based on their availability. In different cell types, how the nutrient fluctuations are sensed and the mechanisms by which the pathways of central metabolism are switched to favor the use of one particular nutrient type over another are topics of intense interest. Protein acetylation is one major evolutionary conserved mechanism by which nutrient fluctuations are sensed within cells and subsequently coupled with metabolic switching. In this review, we present the case of PGC-1α acetylation and how the control of PGC-1α's activity by acetylation sets into motion a wide range of metabolic adaptations that makes this protein an exemplary model for acetylation-mediated mechanisms of nutrient sensing and communication.

    Abstract The modeling of whole organism sulfur amino acid flux control has been aided in recent years by advancements in proteomics and mass spectroscopy-based metabolite analysis. The convergence of these two fields and their respective techniques, as demonstrated by a new study using yeast by Lafaye et al., has shown that researchers seeking to model whole cell/organism metabolism should give careful consideration to the relationships connecting enzyme concentration, enzyme activity, substrate concentration, and metabolic flux. In this paper, we outline some of the fundamental concepts for modeling sulfur amino acid metabolism and how they relate to our current understanding of mammalian sulfur amino acid metabolism.

    Abstract The enzymes of the transsulfuration pathway also have the capacity to catalyze the desulfhydration of cysteine. Recent studies demonstrate a role of the transsulfuration enzymes, cystathionine gamma-lyase and cystathionine beta-synthase, in catalyzing the desulfhydration of cysteine in brain and smooth muscle. The H2S produced from cysteine functions as a neuromodulator and smooth muscle relaxant. In glutamatergic neurons, the production of H2S by cystathionine beta-synthase enhances N-methyl-Daspartate (NMDA) receptor-mediated currents. In smooth muscle cells, H2S produced by cystathionine gamma-lyase enhances the outward flux of potassium by opening potassium channels, leading to hyperpolarization of membrane potential and smooth muscle relaxation.

    Abstract Cysteine catabolism in mammals is dependent upon cysteine dioxygenase (CDO), an enzyme that adds molecular oxygen to the sulfur of cysteine, converting the thiol to a sulfinic acid known as cysteinesulfinic acid (3-sulfinoalanine). CDO is one of the most highly regulated metabolic enzymes responding to diet that is known. It undergoes up to 45-fold changes in concentration and up to 10-fold changes in catalytic efficiency. This provides a remarkable responsiveness of the cell to changes in sulfur amino acid availability: the ability to decrease CDO activity and conserve cysteine when cysteine is scarce and to rapidly increase CDO activity and catabolize cysteine to prevent cytotoxicity when cysteine supply is abundant. CDO in both liver and adipose tissues responds to changes in dietary intakes of protein and/or sulfur amino acids over a range that encompasses the requirement level, suggesting that cysteine homeostasis is very important to the living organism.
