Recent Advances in Understanding Amino Acid Sensing Mechanisms that Regulate mTORC1
The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is the central regulator of mammalian cell growth, and is essential for the formation of two structurally and functionally distinct complexes: mTORC1 and mTORC2. mTORC1 can sense multiple cues such as nutrients, energy status, growth factors and hormones to control cell growth and proliferation, angiogenesis, autophagy, and metabolism. As one of the key ...
متن کاملRecent advances in understanding nicotinic receptor signaling mechanisms that regulate drug self-administration behavior.
Tobacco smoking is one of the leading causes of disease and premature death in the United States. Nicotine is considered the major reinforcing component in tobacco smoke responsible for tobacco addiction. Nicotine acts in the brain through the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). The predominant nAChR subtypes in mammalian brain are those containing α4 and β2 subunits. The α4β2 ...

SYMPOSIUM PROCEEDINGS I970 stimulus of dissatisfaction, leading to improved techniques and machines (and, incidentally, providing an excellent yardstick of present performance against which alleged improvements can be compared). Mechanization has a tendency to induce complacency and ‘freeze’ techniques, and active quality control programmes are an important counter-measure, For repeated tests o...
متن کاملThe Sestrins interact with GATOR2 to negatively regulate the amino-acid-sensing pathway upstream of mTORC1.
The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) kinase is a major regulator of cell growth that responds to numerous environmental cues. A key input is amino acids, which act through the heterodimeric Rag GTPases (RagA or RagB bound to RagC or RagD) in order to promote the translocation of mTORC1 to the lysosomal surface, its site of activation. GATOR2 is a complex of unknown function th...
متن کاملRecent advances in understanding bile acid homeostasis
Bile acids are derived from cholesterol to facilitate intestinal nutrient absorption and biliary secretion of cholesterol. Recent studies have identified bile acids as signaling molecules that activate nuclear farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and membrane G protein-coupled bile acid receptor-1 (Gpbar-1, also known as TGR5) to maintain metabolic homeostasis and protect liver and other tissues and cell...
