Figure 4. Incorporation of Glutamine Is Upregulated in SIRT3 KO Cells through the mTORC1.
(A) Schematic of glutamine incorporation into purine and pyrimidine synthesis.
(B) 15N-glutamine tracing into nucleotides in SIRT3 WT and KO MEFs after 8 hr.
(C) Tracing performed as in (B), after treatment with 30 μM azaserine or 100 nM Torin.
(D) Model of SIRT3 regulation of glutamine usage for de novo nucleotide biosynthesis to promote proliferation.
Data in this figure are represented as mean ± SEM. *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, and ***p ≤ 0.001.
