Regulation of Megalin and Clathrin-Mediated Endocytosis by Amp-Activated Protein Kinase
Nikol Leshchyshyn
Abstract:<p>AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a metabolic stress sensor, activated at low ATP levels. Our previous studies found AMPK activation reduced cell surface β1-integrin levels which are regulated by clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME), an internalization mechanism dependent on adaptor proteins and triggered by cytosolic motif of a protein. This indicates that metabolic stress influences expression of some cell surface proteins, likely as a result of AMPK signaling regulating endocytosis. Integrin an… Show more
