Schematic Representation of Signaling Pathways that Regulate Drosophila Metabolism
Functional interactions described in the text are depicted for a fat body cell under both fed and starved conditions. Solid lines and arrows represent signaling interactions, while dotted lines and arrows represent regulatory effects that occur in the absence of that signaling pathway. In the fed condition (top), DILPs and nutrients signal through the insulin and TOR pathways, respectively, resulting in retention of FOXO in the cytoplasm and increased translation, driving growth. Sugars and fatty acids are stored as glycogen and TAG, while energy-producing metabolic pathways are downregulated. In starved animals (bottom), insulin and TOR signaling is attenuated, directing FOXO nuclear translocation and reducing protein synthesis, restricting growth. Glycogen and TAG are mobilized by AKH and lipases such as Brummer, while energy-producing metabolic pathways are upregulated. See text for more details.
