The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a master regulator of cell growth that responds to a diverse set of environmental inputs, including amino acids. Over the past 10 years, a number of proteins have been identified that help transmit amino acid availability to mTORC1. However, amino acid sensors for this pathway have only recently been discovered. Here, we review these recent advances and highlight the variety of unexplored questions that emerge from the identification of these sensors.
雷帕霉素复合物1(mTORC1)的机制靶点是细胞生长的主要调节因子,它对包括氨基酸在内的多种环境输入做出反应。在过去十年中,已经鉴定出许多有助于将氨基酸可用性传递给mTORC1的蛋白质。然而,该途径的氨基酸传感器直到最近才被发现。在这里,我们回顾这些最新进展,并强调从这些传感器的鉴定中出现的各种未探索的问题。
