Ergosterol alleviates hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance via promoting fatty acid β-oxidation by activating mitochondrial ACSL1 by Zu-Guo Zheng, Yi-Ping Zhang, Xiao-Yu Zhang, Meng-Yao Qin, Yin-Yue Xu, He Wu, Run-Qing Liu, Qiu-Yi Wu, Ming-Su Wang, Chong Zhang, Yue-Qin Zheng, Jian-Ye Dai, Ping Li, Hua Yang

“…In this study, we identify acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) synthetase long-chain family member 1 (ACSL1) as a direct target of ergosterol (ES). The C-terminal domain of ACSL1 undergoes conformational changes from closed to open, and ES may target the drug-binding pocket in the acetyl-CoA synthetase-like domain 1 (ASLD1) of ACSL1 to stabilize the closed conformation and maintain its activity. …”
