Abstract
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a highly conserved cellular energy sensor that plays a central role in metabolic homeostasis. A recent study in Science (Egan et al., 2011) identifies ULK1 as a substrate for AMPK phosphorylation, a modification required for selective autophagy of mitochondria and cell survival during starvation.Entities:
