Serine Metabolism Links Tumor Suppression to the Epigenetic Landscape.

Journal Article (Journal Article)

Intermediary metabolism provides substrates that shape epigenetic status, but whether this interaction can be responsible for oncogenesis is largely unknown. In a recent issue of Nature, Kottakis et al. (2016) now show that the common tumor suppressor gene LKB1 can function by mediating this connection through an LKB1/AMPK/mTOR signaling axis.
