Schematic model of metabolic inefficiency in Maf1 KO mice. A futile cycle of Pol III transcription and RNA turnover is thought to reprogram central metabolism as outlined in the text. Arrows indicate how metabolic processes and select metabolite levels are changed in Maf1 KO liver. Increased ATP synthesis to power de novo nucleotide synthesis is thought to result from increased flux through the TCA cycle.
