Cell biology: Metabolism meets death
Julian Downward1
Abstract
A protein that controls cell death has been found in a complex with a protein involved in glucose metabolism. Is this a point of contact between these two crucial cellular processes?
All organisms, and all cells, need food to survive: it supplies energy for everything from movement to cell proliferation. But beyond this simple relationship, there is evidence that there is a more direct connection between the molecular pathways that convert food into energy within a cell and the pathways that control whether the cell lives or dies.
