Journal ArticleDOI

Reductive carboxylation supports growth in tumour cells with defective mitochondria

TL;DR: These findings reveal the novel induction of a versatile glutamine-dependent pathway that reverses many of the reactions of the canonical CAC, supports tumour cell growth, and explains how cells generate pools of CAC intermediates in the face of impaired mitochondrial metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

NRF2 regulates serine biosynthesis in non-small cell lung cancer

TL;DR: It is found that NRF2 controls the expression of the key serine/glycine biosynthesis enzyme genes PHGDH, PSAT1 and SHMT2 via ATF4 to support glutathione and nucleotide production and it is shown that expression of these genes confers poor prognosis in human NSCLC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipid sensing by mTOR complexes via de novo synthesis of phosphatidic acid

TL;DR: This study reveals that mTOR also senses the presence of lipids via production of PA, a central metabolite for membrane phospholipid biosynthesis, and examines the impact of exogenously supplied fatty acids on mTOR in KRas-driven cancer cells, which are programmed to utilize exogenous lipids.
