Functional nutrient-genetic profiling reveals biotin and FBXW7 are essential to bypass glutamine addiction
Lisci et al. present a unified model revealing how cells escape glutamine addiction, a metabolic vulnerability of several cancers. Combining systematic genetic and nutrient screens, they show that bio...

Uridine-sensitized screening identifies demethoxy-coenzyme Q and NUDT5 as regulators of nucleotide synthesis - Nature Metabolism
A uridine-sensitized CRISPR-Cas9 screening identifies demethoxy-CoQ as an alternative electron acceptor in the absence of CoQ, and NUDT5 as a regulator of de novo pyrimidine synthesis via its interact...
