Description In eukaryotic cells, mTORC1 is a highly conserved protein kinase complex that regulates cell growth and development, autophagy, protein synthesis and degradation, and other important biological processes. Dysfunction of the mTORC1 signaling pathway can cause a variety of diseases including tumors. Amino acids are important activators of mTORC1, but the molecular mechanisms of how amino acid signals are perceived and transmitted to mTORC1 and how mTORC1 is activated and inhibited are not clear. Recent studies have found that amino acid-induced activation of mTORC1 signaling pathway is mainly carried out on lysosomes, and a series of protein complexes are involved in the regulation of this complex process but the function of these complexes and the molecular mechanisms by which they function are unclear. This project will use structural biology, biochemistry, molecular biology and cell biology methods to search for and identify new amino acid sensors and interacting proteins, and reveal their functions, regulatory networks and structural basis in the amino acid-induced mTORC1 signaling pathway regulation.
