Graphical abstract. Our results revealed a novel mechanism whereby Axl binds and phosphorylates TNS2 at Y483, releasing TNS2 from interacting with IRS-1, resulting in increased stability of IRS-1. Higher levels of IRS-1 may enhance cellular glucose uptake through up-regulation of Glut 4 and cell growth and survival. The two key enzymes of aerobic glycolysis, PDK1 was found to be up-regulated by the Axl/TNS2/IRS-1 cross-talk. The details of this regulatory cross-talk remain to be elucidated
