Adding Polyamine Metabolism to the mTORC1 Toolkit in Cell Growth and Cancer.
Overview
abstract
The mammalian/mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a major nutrient sensor and regulator of cellular metabolic flux. Reporting recently in Nature, Zabala-Letona et al. (2017) show that mTORC1 regulates an additional branch of metabolism in the cell-polyamine synthesis-that is important for prostate cancer tumorigenicity.
