Cells utilize conserved nutrient-sensing pathways, including AMP kinase and mTOR, to regulate metabolic flux. This review details five key pathways and their involvement in various diseases.

Area of Science:

  • Cellular metabolism
  • Molecular biology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Cells possess sophisticated sensory systems to monitor energy and metabolic states.
  • These systems dynamically adjust metabolic pathway flux in response to nutrient availability.
  • Many nutrient-sensing mechanisms are evolutionarily conserved across species, from yeast to mammals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and synthesize information on five critical nutrient-sensing pathways.
  • To highlight the similarities and differences among these pathways.
  • To elucidate the roles of these pathways in the context of human diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of existing research.
  • Comparative analysis of five distinct nutrient-sensing pathways: AMP kinase, mTOR, PAS kinase, hexosamine biosynthesis, and Sir2.
