Supporting Aspartate Biosynthesis Is an Essential Function of Respiration in Proliferating Cells

Abstract: Summary Mitochondrial respiration is important for cell proliferation, however the specific metabolic requirements fulfilled by respiration to support proliferation have not been defined. Here we show that a major role of respiration in proliferating cells is to provide electron acceptors for aspartate synthesis. This finding is consistent with the observation that cells lacking a functional respiratory chain are auxotrophic for pyruvate, which serves as an exogenous electron acceptor. Further, the pyruvate re… Show more

“…In fact, levels of all TCA cycle metabolites were suppressed, potentially because loss of MTH FD2 alters mitochondrial redox metabolism. Decreases in TCA intermediates were also observed with impaired mitochondrial NAD + /NADH metabolism (Sullivan et al, 2015).…”

“…Light also could inhibit de novo purine synthesis by decreasing the amount of aspartate in the cell. Recent studies showed that decreases in nucleotide levels correlate with reduced synthesis of aspartate (52)(53)(54)(55)(56). These are reasonable mechanisms by which light could regulate de novo purine synthesis.…”
