1 Glutamine is mainly metabolized through the glutaminolysis pathway and our previous report indicated that CtBP increases GDH activity and promotes glutaminolysis through repressing the expression of SIRT4, a well-known mitochondrion-located factor that inhibits glutaminolysis pathway. ctbp glutamate dehydrogenase 1 Homo sapiens
2 CtBP is known to be a sensor of intracellular metabolic status; we thus hypothesized that a consensus CtBP-SIRT4-GDH axis may mediate the crosstalk between glycolysis and glutaminolysis. ctbp glutamate dehydrogenase 1 Homo sapiens
3 CtBP is known to be a sensor of intracellular metabolic status; we thus hypothesized that a consensus CtBP-SIRT4-GDH axis may mediate the crosstalk between glycolysis and glutaminolysis. ctbp glutamate dehydrogenase 1 Homo sapiens
4 Low level of glucose supply was found to decrease GDH activity via blocking CtBP dimerization. ctbp glutamate dehydrogenase 1 Homo sapiens
5 Consistently, the CtBP dimerization inhibitor MTOB mimicked low glucose effects on SIRT4 expression, and GDH activity suggest that CtBP requires high glucose supply to act as a suppressor of SIRT4 gene. ctbp glutamate dehydrogenase 1 Homo sapiens
6 In conclusion, we propose that a general molecular pathway composed by CtBP-SIRT4-GDH coordinating the metabolism of glucose and glutamine in cancer cells. ctbp glutamate dehydrogenase 1 Homo sapiens
