Cell-type-specific translational control of spatial working memory by the cap-binding protein 4EHP

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2023
The consolidation of learned information into long-lasting memories requires the strengthening of synaptic connections through de novo protein synthesis. Translation initiation factors play a cardinal role in gating the production of new proteins thereby

Resistance exercise initiates mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) translocation and protein complex co-localisation in human skeletal muscle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a central mediator of protein synthesis in skeletal muscle. We utilized immunofluorescence approaches to study mTOR cellular distribution and protein-protein co-localisation in human skeletal muscle in the ...

Limited survival and impaired hepatic fasting metabolism in mice with constitutive Rag GTPase signaling

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) integrates nutrient and hormonal signals to control metabolism. Here the authors investigate the effects of constitutive nutrient signaling through genetic activation of RagA in adult mice and show ...

Elucidating the role of DEPTOR in Alzheimer's disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This article has been made available through the Brunel Open Access Publishing Fund.The mammalian or mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a Ser/Thr protein kinase that, in response to nutrient stimulation, regulates cellular growth, proliferation ...

White spot syndrome virus directly activates mTORC1 signaling to facilitate its replication via polymeric immunoglobulin receptor-mediated infection in shrimp.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2022
Previous studies have shown that the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling pathway has antiviral functions or is beneficial for viral replication, however, the detail mechanisms by which mTORC1 enhances viral infection remain ...

A mTORC1-mediated cyst(e)ine sensing mechanism governing GPX4 synthesis and ferroptosis

open access: yesMolecular & Cellular Oncology, 2021
Ferroptosis is a cell death mechanism triggered by lipid peroxidation. Our recent study linked cyst(e)ine availability with glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) protein synthesis and ferroptosis mitigation via a Rag-mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 ...

Autophagy regulates rRNA synthesis

open access: yesNucleus, 2022
Autophagy has emerged as a key regulator of cell metabolism. Recently, we have demonstrated that autophagy is involved in RNA metabolism by regulating ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis.

RhoA regulates the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1)

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2013
The mTORC1 signaling pathway plays a vital role in integrating signals generated by hormones and nutrients to control cell growth and metabolism. The point of integration of many of the input signals from hormones is the GTPase activating protein complex TSC1/2 that acts to repress the mTORC1‐stimulatory activity of the small GTPase Rheb.
