Gene Description

ACACA encodes acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 (ACC1, also ACC-alpha; EC 6.4.1.2), a large cytosolic, biotin-dependent multi-domain enzyme that catalyzes the first, committed and rate-limiting step of de novo fatty acid biosynthesis: the ATP-dependent carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA (acetyl-CoA + HCO3- + ATP = malonyl-CoA + ADP + phosphate). Catalysis proceeds in two half-reactions carried out by distinct domains: an N-terminal biotin carboxylase (BC) domain uses ATP to carboxylate a biotin cofactor covalently attached to a central biotinyl-binding (biotin carboxyl carrier, BCC) domain, and a C-terminal carboxyltransferase (CT) domain then transfers the carboxyl group from carboxybiotin to acetyl-CoA, producing malonyl-CoA. Two magnesium or manganese ions per subunit are required. ACC1 is one of two mammalian ACC isozymes; it is the cytosolic enzyme supplying malonyl-CoA for chain elongation by fatty acid synthase, whereas the paralogous ACC2/ACACB is anchored to the outer mitochondrial membrane and regulates fatty acid oxidation. The malonyl-CoA product of ACC1 both feeds fatty acid synthesis and serves as a signaling metabolite. ACC1 activity is tightly and multiply regulated: inhibited by AMPK-dependent phosphorylation (notably Ser-80), allosterically activated by citrate which promotes polymerization into catalytically active filaments, further activated by the MID1IP1 (MIG12/S14R) protein that lowers the citrate threshold for polymerization, and inhibited by long-chain acyl-CoA. Its phosphorylated inactive form is bound by the BRCT domains of BRCA1, which blocks dephosphorylation and represses lipogenesis. Loss-of-function variants cause the autosomal recessive acetyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency (ACACAD), an inborn error of de novo fatty acid synthesis, and the enzyme is a drug target in metabolic disease (e.g. hepatic steatosis).

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Phylogenetic (IBA) annotation placing ACC1 as active in the mitochondrion. This is a paralog/compartment mis-propagation: the mitochondrion-anchored acetyl-CoA carboxylase isozyme is ACC2/ACACB, whereas Q13085 is the cytosolic ACC1. UniProt localizes ACC1 to the cytoplasm/cytosol, and the HPA IDA confirms cytosol. The mitochondrial term reflects the ACC-family phylogenetic node (which includes ACC2 orthologs), not ACC1.
Reason: ORGANELLES check (2026-10-24): the PAINT IBD for GO:0005739 sits on PTHR45728 node PTN000429607 and its descendant evidence is MGI:2140940 and RGD:620500 (mouse and rat Acacb), UniProtKB:O00763 (human ACACB) and SGD:S000004820 (yeast HFA1, the mitochondrial acetyl-CoA carboxylase). Every seed is the mitochondrial-isozyme lineage; none is an ACC1 ortholog. ACC1 is placed under the node by descent, but its own curated location is cytosol, and it lacks the ACC2 N-terminal mitochondrial-anchoring extension. The organelle claim is not supported for this gene, so the row stays MARK_AS_OVER_ANNOTATED (the only GO:0005739 row) and no sub-compartment row is added.
