- Abstract
Glycolysis is a fundamental cellular process, yet its regulatory mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, we show that a subset of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1/SLC2A1) co-endocytoses with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor (PDGFR) upon PDGF-stimulation. Furthermore, multiple glycolytic enzymes localize to these endocytosed PDGFR/GLUT1-containing vesicles adjacent to mitochondria. Contrary to current models, which emphasize the importance of glucose transporters on the cell surface, we find that PDGF-stimulated glucose uptake depends on receptor/transporter endocytosis. Our results suggest that growth factors generate glucose-loaded endocytic vesicles that deliver glucose to the glycolytic machinery in proximity to mitochondria, and argue for a new layer of regulation for glycolytic control governed by cellular membrane dynamics. Growth factors rapidly raise cellular glycolysis. Here, authors unveil a mechanism where RTK/GLUT1-containing endocytic vesicles deliver glucose to glycolytic enzymes near mitochondria without upregulating cell surface glucose transporters.
