Figure 1 When Glutamine Is Present, It Is Used to Fuel the TCA Cycle and Also Contributes to ROS Homeostasis, among Other Roles Under these conditions, EDD is phosphorylated and does not exert negative regulation of p53. However, when glutamine is withdrawn, TCA cycle flux decreases and ROS accumulates. Under these conditions, the PP2A subunit, B55a, is upregulated, leading to dephosphorylation of EDD, allowing for increased p53 activity, including expression of the cell-cycle inhibitor, p21, as well as glutaminase 2 (Gls2).
