Abstract

In rat hepatocytes, autophagy is known to be inhibited by amino acids. Insulin and cell swelling promote inhibition by amino acids. Each of the conditions leading to inhibition of autophagic proteolysis was found to be associated with phosphorylation of a 31-kDa protein that we identified as ribosomal protein S6. A combination of leucine, tyrosine, and phenylalanine, which efficiently inhibits autophagic proteolysis, was particularly effective in stimulating S6 phosphorylation. The relationship between the percentage inhibition of proteolysis and the degree of S6 phosphorylation was linear. Thus, inhibition of autophagy and phosphorylation of S6 are under the control of the same signal transduction pathway. Stimulation of S6 phosphorylation by the presence of amino acids was due to activation of S6 kinase and not to inhibition of S6 phosphatase. The inhibition by amino acids of both autophagic proteolysis and autophagic sequestration of electro-injected cytosolic [14C]sucrose was partially prevented by rapamycin, a compound known to inhibit activation of p70 S6 kinase. In addition, rapamycin partially inhibited the rate of protein synthesis. We conclude that the fluxes through the autophagic and protein synthetic pathways are regulated in an opposite manner by the degree to which S6 is phosphorylated. Possible mechanisms by which S6 phosphorylation can cause inhibition of autophagy are discussed.

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.
