Journal ArticleDOI

AMPK phosphorylation of raptor mediates a metabolic checkpoint.

TL;DR: AMPK directly phosphorylates the mTOR binding partner raptor on two well-conserved serine residues, and this phosphorylation induces 14-3-3 binding to raptor, uncovering a conserved effector of AMPK that mediates its role as a metabolic checkpoint coordinating cell growth with energy status.
Journal ArticleDOI

The LKB1-AMPK pathway: metabolism and growth control in tumour suppression.

TL;DR: The connection of AMPK with several tumour suppressors suggests that therapeutic manipulation of this pathway using established diabetes drugs warrants further investigation in patients with cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

mTOR and HIF-1α-mediated tumor metabolism in an LKB1 mouse model of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome

TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that polyps from human Peutz-Jeghers patients similarly exhibit up-regulated mTORC1 signaling, HIF-1α, and GLUT1 levels, and like LKB1+/− mice, the FDG-PET signal in the GI tract of these mice is abolished by rapamycin treatment.
