Metabolic integration by nutrient SENSing
Nutrient sensing enables metabolic homeostasis by matching energy use with fuel availability. The vast body of knowledge on pro-anabolic nutrient sensors, such as insulin and class 1 phosphoinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) signalling exposed the missing links in molecular coordination of catabolism. The cellular catabolism relies on mitochondrial activities and on lysosomal pathway of autophagy, both paced by the biological clock. However, how pro-catabolic nutrient sensors synchronize these catabolic activities is not well understood. We discovered that class 3 PI3K, the only PI3K present in all eukaryotes, is essential for catabolic homeostasis in vivo, but the mechanisms of its metabolic…
