Glutaminase contributes to MYC-induced cell-autonomous autophagy and to RasV12-dependent non-autonomous autophagy in the Drosophila wing disc epithelium

Francesca Destefanis, Lorenzo Conci, Shivani Bajaj…·Paola Bellosta

This study shows that glutaminase (GLS) mediates Myc-induced autophagy in Drosophila wing discs and links Myc-dependent glutamine metabolism to non-autonomous autophagy in RasV12-transformed epithelia.
