Journal ArticleDOI
Hepatic mTORC2 activates glycolysis and lipogenesis through Akt, glucokinase, and SREBP1c.
Asami Hagiwara,Marion Cornu,Nadine Cybulski,Pazit Polak,Charles Betz,Francesca Trapani,Luigi Terracciano,Markus H. Heim,Markus A. Rüegg,Michael N. Hall +9 more
TL;DR: Mammalian target of rapamycin complex 2 regulates hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism via insulin-induced Akt signaling to control whole-body metabolic homeostasis and has implications for emerging drug therapies that target mTORC2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Where is mTOR and what is it doing there
Charles Betz,Michael N. Hall +1 more
TL;DR: The finding that mTORC1 is localized to the lysosome has significantly enhanced the understanding of m TORC1 regulation and may be a general principle used by TOR to enact precise spatial and temporal control of cell growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
mTOR complex 2-Akt signaling at mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (MAM) regulates mitochondrial physiology
Charles Betz,Daniele Stracka,Cristina Prescianotto-Baschong,Maud Frieden,Nicolas Demaurex,Michael N. Hall +5 more
TL;DR: It is reported that mTORC2 is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) subcompartment termed mitochondria-associated ER membrane (MAM) and is at the core of a MAM signaling hub that controls growth and metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell behaviors and dynamics during angiogenesis
TL;DR: This Review summarizes what is known about endothelial cell behavior during developmental angiogenesis, focusing on the morphogenetic changes that these cells undergo.
Journal ArticleDOI
The protein histidine phosphatase LHPP is a tumour suppressor
Sravanth K. Hindupur,Marco Colombi,Stephen Rush Fuhs,Matthias S. Matter,Yakir Guri,Kevin Adam,Marion Cornu,Salvatore Piscuoglio,Charlotte K.Y. Ng,Charles Betz,Dritan Liko,Luca Quagliata,Suzette Moes,Paul Jenoe,Luigi Terracciano,Markus H. Heim,Tony Hunter,Michael N. Hall +17 more
TL;DR: Sustained, hepatic expression of LHPP in the hepatocellular carcinoma mouse model reduced tumour burden and prevented the loss of liver function, suggesting that deregulated histidine phosphorylation is oncogenic.
