SYSTEMATIC NAME
IUBMB Comments
citrate(isocitrate) hydro-lyase (cis-aconitate-forming)
Besides interconverting citrate and cis-aconitate, it also interconverts cis-aconitate with isocitrate and, hence, interconverts citrate and isocitrate. The equilibrium mixture is 91% citrate, 6% isocitrate and 3% aconitate. cis-Aconitate is used to designate the isomer (Z)-prop-1-ene-1,2,3-tricarboxylate. An iron-sulfur protein, containing a [4Fe-4S] cluster to which the substrate binds.

malfunction
metabolism
physiological function
malfunction
-
acnA mutants grow very poorly, have secondary mutations, and are quickly outgrown by pseudorevertants. The acnA gene is stably interrupted in a citrate synthase (gltA) null background, indicating that the intracellular accumulation of citrate may be deleterious for survival. No aconitase activity is detected in this mutant. To uncover a function of AcnA beyond its catalytic role in the tricarboxylic acid cycle pathway, the citrate synthase/aconitase (acnA) double mutant is compared with the citrate synthase single mutant. No differences are found
malfunction
-
mutant shows severe defects in morphology and physiology, as is unable to form any aerial mycelium, spores or phosphinothricin tripeptide
malfunction
-
cell wall-modifying enzyme peptidoglycan deacetylase, PgdA expression is significantly decreased in an acnB mutant. Mutant strain is more susceptible to lysozyme-mediated killing and is attenuated in its ability to colonize mice
malfunction
-
acnA expression is enhanced in an acnB mutant
malfunction
-
aconitase down-regulation suppresses pink1 mutant phenotypes. In contrast to partial loss of aconitase that rescues mitochondrial defects in pink1 mutants, overexpression of aconitase in transgenic mice causes mitochondrial morphological defects and swelling of mitochondria in dopaminergic neurons
malfunction
-
in acnB mutants proliferation of pepper plants is significantly impaired. Deletion of acnB leads to reduced hypersensitive response induction in resistant pepper plants and an increased susceptibility to the superoxide generating compound menadione
metabolism

ACO is an enzyme that catalyzes the isomerization of citrate to isocitrate in both the Krebs cycle and the glyoxylate cycle

physiological function
iron restriction suppresses mitochondrial and cytosolic aconitase activity in erythroid but not granulocytic or megakaryocytic progenitors. The mechanism for aconitase regulation of erythropoiesis most likely involves both production of metabolic intermediates as well as modulation of erythropoietin signaling; iron restriction suppresses mitochondrial and cytosolic aconitase activity in erythroid but not granulocytic or megakaryocytic progenitors. The mechanism for aconitase regulation of erythropoiesis most likely involves both production of metabolic intermediates as well as modulation of erythropoietin signaling
physiological function
-
aconitase is destabilized in the absence of the Fe4S4 cluster. Apo-form has higher surface hydrophobicity than the holo-form. The lower ground state stability and higher solvent exposed hydrophobic surface of the apo-form makes it aggregation prone. Binding of apo-aconitase to GroEL (molecular chaperone) not only rescues it from the aggregation, but also assists in the final stage of maturation by orienting the cluster insertion site of GroEL bound apo-protein
physiological function
-
it is investigated if oxidative inactivation of mitochondrial aconitase results in the release of redox-active iron and hydrogen peroxide and whether this contributes to cell death. Using an adenoviral construct mitochondrial aconitase is over-expressed in primary mesencephalic cultures. Oxidative inactivation of m-aconitase over-expressing cultures results in exacerbation of H2O2 production, Fe2+ accumulation and increased neuronal death. Increased cell death in m-aconitase overexpressing cultures is attenuated by addition of catalase and/or a cell permeable iron chelator suggesting that neuronal death occurred in part via astrocyte-derived H2O2
physiological function
-
aconitase is a bifunctional enzyme, which can not only interconvert citrate and isocitrate, but also has the RNA binding function similar to the eukaryotic protein IRP-1, iron regulatory protein 1
physiological function
-
the increase in citrate, caused by aconitase inhibition, induces amino acid synthesis and the gamma-aminobutyrate shunt, in accordance with the suggested fate of citrate during the acid decline stage in citrus fruit
physiological function
-
aconitase directly regulates citrate synthase production by interacting with the citZ transcript

the loss of aconitase activity observed in cells should be ascribed to the chelation of available iron rather than to a direct effect of the chelator on the iron-sulfur clusters of the enzyme

indomethacin
-
a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, carbonylation of aconitase and release of iron along with the loss of activity in vivo after indomethacin treatment, activation of mitochondrial death pathway by indomethacin, overview
Mn2+
-
inhibition of enzyme, resulting in up to 90% increase in intracellular citrate. Mitochondrial isoform is significantly more sensitive to Mn2+ than cytosolic isoform. Inhibition leads to conversion of enzyme to iron regulatory protein IRP 1 and increases the abundance of IRP2, leading to reduced H-ferritin expression, inreased transferrin receptor expression, and increased uptake of transferrin. IRP2 has a dominant role in Mn2+-induced alteration of iron homeostasis over aconitase/IRP1
nitric oxide
-
brief exposure leads to a reversible inhibition competitive with isocitrate. subsequently, an irreversible inactivation is observed
nitrosoglutathione

citrate
citrate accumulation under enzyme inhibition restricts the formation of hydroxyl radical in the Fenton reaction through the binding of iron ions, and it thus protects the enzyme from inactivation

H2O2
-
H2O2 does not exert its inhibitory effects by acting directly on the enzyme, rather inactivation appears to result from interactions between aconitase and a mitochondrial membrane component responsive to H2O2. Prolonged exposure of mitochondria to steady-state levels of H2O2 or O2- results in disassembly of the [4Fe-4S]2+ cluster, carbonylation, and protein degradation

proteolytic modification
-
the porcine heart enzyme is synthesized as a precursor containing a mitochondrial targeting sequence of 27 amino acid residues which is cleaved to yield a mature enzyme of 754 amino acids
side-chain modification
additional information
phosphoprotein
-
S711 of IRP1 is phosphorylated by proteinkinase C in vitro and in vivo in human HEK cells. Aconitase activity of the S711 phosphomimetic mutants is preferentially inhibited in the citrate mode of aconitase function. The substitution of phosphomimetic amino acids for S711 fails to affect the RNA-binding affinity of IRP1
phosphoprotein
mechanism controlling IRP1 activity at the level of its stability can be phosphorylation of Ser138, Ser138, Ser711, and flanking sequences are highly conserved

-
aconitase is phosphorylated on serine residues. Increase in extensor digitorum longus muscle enzyme activity upon repeated contraction is inhibited by cyclosporin A, an inhibitor of the protein phosphates calcineurin
