Deacetylation contributes carbons to AcCoA and downstream pathways.A, schematic of histone deacetylation contributing to AcCoA. B–F, 13C enrichment during pulse-chase experiment. N > 9 across at least three independent experiments. G–I, AcCoA labeling during pulse-chase experiment with ACSS2i (22 μM). G, 13C enrichment (H) raw signal intensity (area under the curve (AUC)) for indicated isotopologues. I, 13C enrichment after washout with washout enrichment subtracted. J–L, same as (G–I) but for (iso)butyryl-CoA. N = 9 across three independent experiments. M–O, quantitation of cellular acyl-CoAs with the portion derived from protein-bound acetate indicated in red (calculated by multiplying percent molar enrichment by pool size at each time point). All data indicated as mean ± SD. Statistical analyses in (B–D) was by two-way ANOVA followed by Sidak’s multiple comparison test, and I and L were by two-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s Multiple Comparison. ns = not significant. p value < 0.05 (∗), p value < 0.01 (∗∗), p value < 0.001 (∗∗∗), and p value < 0.0001 (∗∗∗∗). A, created with BioRender.com. AcCoA, acetyl-CoA; ACSS2i, ACSS2 inhibitor.
