ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY) is an enzyme that links glycolysis to lipid metabolism. To date only partial X-ray structures of ACLY have been solved, thus limiting the design of novel inhibitors. Wei and colleagues (published online in Nature April 3, 2019) now report the full structure of human ACLY in complex with NDI-091143, revealing an appealing allosteric inhibition mechanism for this compound.
