Lysosomal Rag-ulation of mTOR complex 1 activity
Abstract
An amino acid-sensing pathway regulates mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) activity and participates in nutrient control of cell metabolism and growth. Sancak et al. (2010) identify a lysosomal membrane-localized super-complex that drives amino acid-dependent mTORC1 activation.
