The conversion of formate into purines stimulates mTORC1 leading to CAD-dependent activation of pyrimidine synthesis
Abstract Background Mitochondrial serine catabolism to formate induces a metabolic switch to a hypermetabolic state with high rates of glycolysis, purine synthesis and pyrimidine synthesis. While formate is a purine precursor, it is not clear how formate induces pyrimidine synthesis. Methods Here we...
