Thirty sweet years of GLUT4

Abstract: A pivotal metabolic function of insulin is the stimulation of glucose uptake into muscle and adipose tissues. The discovery of the insulin-responsive glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) protein in 1988 inspired its molecular cloning in the following year. It also spurred numerous cellular mechanistic studies laying the foundations for how insulin regulates glucose uptake by muscle and fat cells. Here, we reflect on the importance of the GLUT4 discovery and chronicle additional key findings made in the past 30 y… Show more

“…These data are the first direct evidence demonstrating that insulin signaling accelerates mobilization of GLUT4 from the perinuclear region. Insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation in adipocytes and muscle requires activation of AKT (1). Insulin regulation of GLUT4 mobilization from the perinuclear region is downstream of AKT in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, and as compared to insulin in the presence of DMSO (vehicle), insulin in the presence of AKT inhibitor MK2206 (44) could not promote the mobilization of HA-GLUT4-mEos3.2 from the perinuclear region (Fig.…”

“…We find insulin does not regulate GLUT4 recruitment to the perinuclear region. A large portion of GLUT4 in the PM is internalized by clathrin-mediated endocytosis together with constitutively recycling cargo such as TR (1). GLUT4-containing endosomes are sent to the TGN, and the observation that delivery of GLUT4 to the TGN is not regulated by insulin is not surprising given insulin stimulation has little effect on TR trafficking (1).…”

“…The process of regulating the subcellular localization of GLUT4 is exceedingly complex and has been reviewed recently (Klip et al 2019). A number of 21 kDa Rab GTPases have been implicated to be involved in GLUT4 vesicle traffic, and their activation state, GTP-bound or GDP-bound, is presumably regulated by the RabGAPs TBC1D1 and TBC1D4 (Zerial & McBride 2001).…”
