GPCRs join the mTORC1 regulatory network

Nature Cell Biology volume 21, pages 538–539 (2019)Cite this article

Subjects

Rag GTPases play a crucial role in mTORC1 activation by promoting its recruitment to the lysosomal surface in a nutrient-dependent manner. A study now identifies a family of lysosomal G-protein-coupled receptors as modulators of Rag GTPases localization and activation, adding one more component to the fast-growing mTOR regulatory network.
