Abstract

Mason et al. report that SGK1 promotes survival of cells detached from extracellular matrix through a mechanism dependent on elevated glucose uptake and ATP generation. This increased bioenergetic capacity requires pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) flux. Defects in SGK1-mediated ATP generation can be rescued with exogenous glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate or GAPDH activation.
