摘要: 在哺乳动物细胞中,雷帕霉素靶蛋白复合体1(mTORC1)信号通路是细胞感应内外营养素(如氨基酸)、激素(如生长因子)和能量等因素的变化,调节细胞的增殖、生长、蛋白合成和自噬等生命活动的主要信号通路之一。在营养素对细胞中mTORC1信号通路的调控中,氨基酸是重要的调控因子之一。在哺乳动物细胞中,mTORC1被氨基酸磷酸化激活后,通过核糖体蛋白S6激酶1(S6K1)和真核翻译起始因子4E结合蛋白1(4EBP1)两个下游分子参与蛋白质翻译过程,促进蛋白质的合成,但在氨基酸如何调控细胞中mTORC1上游通路方面,还知之甚少。目前研究表明,氨基酸对细胞中mTORC1上游通路的调控可能有如下几个模式:(1)“inside-out”模式,即氨基酸先进入溶酶体内,然后在溶酶体内部通过激活SLC38A9、v-ATPase、Ragulator和Rag GTPase等信号分子募集mTORC1至溶酶体表面并将其激活;(2)GATOR-Rag GTPase模式,即氨基酸进入细胞后在胞浆中通过激活或抑制Sestrins、GATOR2、GATOR1、Skp2和Rag GTPase等信号分子激活mTORC1;(3)亮氨酸调控模式,即亮氨酸通过亮氨酰-tRNA合成酶和Rag GTPase等信号分子激活mTORC1;(4)谷氨酰胺调控模式,即谷氨酰胺通过谷氨酰胺代谢酶、谷氨酰胺产物α-酮戊二酸和小GTP酶ADP核糖基化因子1(Arf1)等信号分子激活mTORC1;(5)其他调控因子。除了上述4种模式外,还有一些在氨基酸调控mTORC1过程中起重要调控作用,但又不归属于上述任何一种调控通路的调控因子。如MAP4K3、B/PR61ε、p62、T1R1/T1R3、TRAF6 和SH3BP4等。文章综合近几年的研究,对氨基酸对哺乳动物中mTORC1上游的调控及其可能的通路做一综述。

Abstract: In mammalian cells, the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling pathway is one of the main signaling pathways that regulate life activities, such as cell proliferation, growth, protein synthesis and cell autophagy and so on, in response to the change of nutrients (such as amino acids), hormones (such as growth factors) and energy. Amino acid is one of the most important regulatory factors in nutrients factors that regulate mTORC1 signaling pathways in cells. In mammalian cells, mTORC1 is phosphorylated and activated by amino acid, and then phosphorylated mTORC1 participates in the translation process of protein and promotes the protein synthesis by activating two downstream molecules, ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (S6K1) and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E binding protein 1 (4EBP1). But about the regulatory pathways and molecular mechanism of amino acids-mediated-mTORC1 upstream pathway is still poorly understood. Studies have shown that, the regulation of amino acid on the mTORC1 upstream pathways may have several different models: (1): “inside-out” model, in this model, amino acid is transported into lysosome, and then the amino acid recruits mTORC1 to the lysosomal surface and activates mTORC1 by activating SLC38A9, v-ATPase, Ragulator and Rag GTPase, and amino acid activates these proteins in lysosome; (2): GATOR - Rag GTPase model, in this model, amino acid activates mTORC1 by activating or inhibiting Sestrins, GATOR2, GATOR1, Skp2 and Rag GTPase, and amino acid activates or inhibits these proteins in cytoplasm; (3): Leucine regulatory model, Leucine activates mTORC1 by leucyl-tRNA synthetase and Rag GTPase; (4): Glutamine regulatory model, glutamine activates mTORC1 by Glutamine metabolic enzymes, Alpha ketone glutaric acid and small GTPase ADP ribose base factor 1 (Arf1); (5): Other regulatory factors, besides above models, there are also some signaling molecules playing important role in the regulation of amino acids-mediated-mTORC1 upstream pathway, but not belonging to the above models, such as MAP4K3, B/PR61 epsilon, p62, T1R1 / T1R3, TRAF6 and SH3BP4, etc. This review summarized the regulation and the possible pathways of amino acids-mediated-mTORC1 upstream pathway in mammalian cells.
