ATP citrate-lyase is the primary enzyme responsible for the synthesis of cytosolic acetyl-CoA in many tissues. Has a central role in de novo lipid synthesis. In nervous tissue it may be involved in the biosynthesis of acetylcholine.
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a cofactor, a substance that is required for the activity of an enzyme or other protein. Cofactors may be inorganic, such as the metal atoms zinc, iron, and copper in certain forms, or organic, in which case they are referred to as coenzymes. Cofactors may either be bound tightly to active sites or bind loosely with the substrate.
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of ATP, adenosine 5'-triphosphate, a universally important coenzyme and enzyme regulator.

A full-length cDNA clone of 4.3 kb encoding the human ATP-citrate lyase enzyme has been isolated by screening a human cDNA library with the recently isolated rat ATP-citrate lyase cDNA clone [Elshourbagy et al. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 1430]. Nucleic-acid sequence data indicate that the cDNA contains the complete coding region for the enzyme, which is 1105 amino acids in length with a calculated molecular mass of 121,419 Da. Comparison of the human and rat ATP-citrate lyase cDNA sequences reveals 96.3% amino acid identity throughout the entire sequence. Further sequence analysis identified the His765 catalytic phosphorylation site, the ATP-binding site, as well as the CoA binding site. The human ATP-citrate lyase cDNA clone was subcloned into a mammalian expression vector for expression in African green monkey kidney cells (COS) and Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO) cells. Transfected COS cells expressed detectable levels of an enzymatically active recombinant ATP-citrate lyase enzyme. Stable, amplified expression of ATP-citrate lyase in CHO cells as achieved by using coamplification with dihydrofolate reductase. Resistant cells expressed high levels of enzymatically active ATP-citrate lyase (3 pg/cell/d). Site-specific mutagenesis of His765----Ala diminishes the catalytic activity of the expressed ATP-citrate lyase protein. Since catalysis of ATP-citrate lyase is postulated to involve the formation of phosphohistidine, these results are consistent with the pattern of earlier observations of the significance of the histidine residue in catalysis of the human ATP-citrate lyase.
The chemical reactions and pathways involving carbohydrates, any of a group of organic compounds based of the general formula Cx(H2O)y, as carried out by individual cells.
The chemical reactions and pathways involving citrate, 2-hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboyxlate. Citrate is widely distributed in nature and is an important intermediate in the TCA cycle and the glyoxylate cycle.

Protein involved in the synthesis of lipids, a diverse class of compounds which are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. They include fats, oils, triacylglycerols, fatty acids, glycolipids, phospholipids and steroids.

A reference proteome is a set of protein sequences derived from a complete proteome which constitutes a defined standard for a particular user community. Reference proteomes are manually defined according to a number of criteria. They cover the proteomes of well- studied model organisms and other proteomes of interest for biomedical and biotechnological research. Reference proteomes have been selected to provide broad coverage of the tree of life, and constitute a representative cross-section of the taxonomic diversity to be found within UniProtKB.
