Fig. 1. Regulation of mTORC1 and nutrient-scavenging pathways by TM9SF4
TM9SF4 localizes to lysosomes and negatively regulates mTORC1, leading to enhanced induction of autophagy upon nutrient starvation. TM9SF4 is known to promote cell cannibalism, and mTORC1 to suppress macropinocytic scavenging. Whether mTORC1 regulates cell cannibalism or entosis, and whether TM9SF4 regulates entosis, are unknown
