Title AKT1 phosphorylation of cytoplasmic ME2 induces a metabolic switch to glycolysis for tumorigenesis
Relevance Medical
Data types metalobome
Organisms Homo sapiens
Description Here we report that activation of AKT1 induces a metabolic switch to glycolysis from the mitochondrial metabolism via phosphorylation of cytoplasmic malic enzyme 2, named ME2, favoring an enhanced glycolytic phenotype. mechanistically, in the cytoplasm, AKT phosphorylates ME2 at serine 9 in the mitochondrial localization signal peptide at the N-terminus, preventing its mitochondrial translocation. Unlike mitochondrial ME2, which accounts for adjusting the tricarboxylic acid cycle, ME2 functions as a scaffold that brings together the key glycolytic enzyme phosphofructokinase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and pyruvate kinase M2, as well as Lactate dehydrogenase A, to promote glycolysis in the cytosol.
