Fine-Tuning Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Reductive Carboxylation

Trends Endocrinol Metab. 2018 Sep;29(9):599-602. doi: 10.1016/j.tem.2018.04.002. Epub 2018 Apr 23.

Abstract

Metabolic processes within cells are dynamically interconnected. If mitochondria become defective, cells must rewire their metabolism to survive. Here we highlight recent work by Gaude et al. that used a tunable model of mitochondrial dysfunction combined with metabolic tracing and in silico analyses to define these compensatory pathways.

Keywords: GAPDH; MDH1; NAD/NADH; glycolysis; redox.
