Cellular metabolism and cell cycle Lectures 8 10 Flashcards Biology Diagrams Proliferating cells must double each component of their mass over the course of the cell cycle to produce two daughter cells. Biosynthetic demands differ in each cell cycle phase [1,2]; therefore, metabolism must change in response to cell cycle progression. Cell cycle control must also be responsive to metabolic state to ensure that division only proceeds if cells can produce sufficient In conclusion, while incompletely understood, cell cycle progression is tightly coupled to intracellular metabolism. Emerging evidence suggests that intracellular kinases such as AMPK and mTOR can sense energy intermediates such as AMP, ADP and amino acids and subsequently direct how biosynthetic intermediates are used and whether the cell Cell cycle progression and division is regulated by checkpoint controls and sequential activation of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). Understanding of how these events occur in synchrony with metabolic changes could have important therapeutic implications. For biosynthesis, cancer cells enhance glucose and glutamine consumption. Inactivation of pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) promotes transcription

During cell-cycle progression, metabolism is regulated to sustain schematically protein synthesis in G1 phase, nucleotide synthesis in S phase, and lipid synthesis in G2 phase. In G1 phase, until the cell growth step in mid-to-late G1, several glycolytic enzymes are inhibited by cycD-CDK6 and APC Cdh1 complexes, the latter also reducing TCA Uncovering cell cycle-associated metabolic processes is therefore of interest to find new avenues toward controlling cell proliferation. A number of observations suggest that some aspects of cellular metabolism are indeed coordinated with cell cycle progression. Regulation of cell proliferation by metabolism evolved in part to cope with nutritional deprivation, explaining why mechanisms arose to reduce cell growth and arrest cell cycle progression in conditions of starvation. 5 A key regulatory step early in the G 1 phase of the cell cycle is the growth factor-dependent restriction point, when cells

This altered metabolism fuels the growth and proliferation of cancer cells by providing energy and macromolecular building blocks, and it also contributes to the maintenance of redox balance (3, 4). A report in PNAS provides evidence for how glucose and glutamine metabolism are regulated during cell cycle progression.
