Nutrient-sensing mechanisms and pathways
Open accessAbstract
The ability to sense and respond to fluctuations in environmental nutrient levels is a requisite for life. Nutrient scarcity is a selective pressure that has shaped the evolution of most cellular processes. Different pathways that detect intracellular and extracellular levels of sugars, amino acids, lipids and surrogate metabolites are integrated and coordinated at the organismal level through hormonal signals. During food abundance, nutrient-sensing pathways engage anabolism and storage, whereas scarcity triggers homeostatic mechanisms, such as the mobilization of internal stores through autophagy. Nutrient-sensing pathways are commonly deregulated in human metabolic diseases.

Leucine activates mTORC1 signaling by binding to the upstream regulator sestrin.
“notably including the amino acid leucine, which activates mTORC1 signaling via binding to the upstream regulator sestrin.”
From Sestrin modulator NV-5138 produces rapid antidepressant effects via direct mTORC1 activation (2019) · cites this paper as [20]
Leucine binds to sestrin isoforms 1 and 2, causing dissociation from GATOR2 and activation of mTORC1 signaling.
“Recent studies demonstrate that leucine binds to sestrin isoforms 1 and 2 (hereafter referred to as sestrin), resulting in dissociation from another regulatory multiprotein complex, GATOR2, leading to activation of mTORC1 signaling (20, 21).”
From Sestrin modulator NV-5138 produces rapid antidepressant effects via direct mTORC1 activation (2019) · cites this paper as [20]
Mutations of Sestrin2 that block leucine binding also block leucine activation of mTORC1 signaling.
“Further evidence for this pathway is provided by studies demonstrating that mutations of Sestrin2 that block leucine binding also block leucine activation of mTORC1 signaling (20, 21).”
From Sestrin modulator NV-5138 produces rapid antidepressant effects via direct mTORC1 activation (2019) · cites this paper as [20]

Fasting is thought to work at least in part through the inhibition of insulin/IGF-1/mTORC1 signaling.
“On the molecular level, fasting is not well understood but based on the data from studies on fasting-mediated longevity and stress resistance, it is thought to work at least in part through the inhibition of insulin/IGF-1/mTORC1 signaling15–18.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
