TLDR
It is proposed that lysosomal TM4SF5 senses and enables arginine efflux for mTORC1/S6K1 activation, and arginin-auxotroph in hepatocellular carcinoma may be targeted by blocking theArginine sensing using anti-TM4 SF5 reagents.

Mechanism of arginine sensing by CASTOR1 upstream of mTORC1

TL;DR: In this article, the structure and accompanying biochemistry reveal how arginine is specifically sensed by CASTOR1 and disrupts the interaction of CASTor1 with GATOR2, triggering activation of mTORC1.

mTORC1 as a Regulator of Mitochondrial Functions and a Therapeutic Target in Cancer.

TL;DR: The therapeutic efficacy of mTORC1 inhibitors in cancer treatments is reviewed, considering its use in combination with other drugs, with particular focus on cellular metabolism inhibitors, that could help improve their anti neoplastic effect and eliminate cancer cells in patients.

Mitochondrial Threonyl-tRNA Synthetase TARS2 Is Required for Threonine-Sensitive mTORC1 Activation

TL;DR: The requirement of TARS2, but not cytoplasmic threonyl-tRNA synthetase TARS, for this effect demonstrates an additional layer of complexity in the regulation of mTORC1 activity.

Sensors for the mTORC1 pathway regulated by amino acids.

TL;DR: Recently, several sensors of leucine, arginine, and S-adenosylmethionine for the amino acid-stimulated mTORC1 pathway have been coming to light and characterization of these sensors is requisite for understanding how cells adjust amino acid sensing pathways to their different needs.

COBALT: constraint-based alignment tool for multiple protein sequences

TL;DR: It is shown that using constraints derived from the conserved domain database (CDD) and PROSITE protein-motif database improves COBALT's alignment quality and has reasonable runtime performance and alignment accuracy comparable to or exceeding that of other tools for a broad range of problems.
