The mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), which promotes cell growth, is regulated by specific nutrients such as the amino acid leucine. In this issue, Nicklin et al. (2009) describe a mechanism by which glutamine facilitates the uptake of leucine, leading to mTORC1 activation.
促进细胞生长的雷帕霉素复合物1(mTORC1)的哺乳动物靶点受特定营养素(如氨基酸亮氨酸)的调节。在本期中,尼克林等人(2009年)描述了一种机制,通过该机制谷氨酰胺促进亮氨酸的摄取,从而导致mTORC1激活。
