Molecular Cell 2018, doi:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.molcel.2018.04.024 Abstract Highlights mTORC1 suppresses GSK3-dependent Foxk1 phosphorylation Foxk1 phosphorylation promotes 14-3-3 binding and nuclear exclusion Foxk1 transcriptionally regulates Hif1α expression Foxk1 and Hif1α contribute to mTORC1-regulated metabolic reprogramming Summary The mammalian Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 (mTORC1)-signaling system plays a critical role in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis by sensing and integrating multiple extracellular and intracellular cues.
