1 Leucyl-tRNA synthetase is an intracellular leucine sensor for the mTORC1-signaling pathway. Leucine CREB regulated transcription coactivator 1 Mus musculus
2 Here we show that leucyl-tRNA synthetase (LRS) plays a critical role in amino acid-induced mTORC1 activation by sensing intracellular leucine concentration and initiating molecular events leading to mTORC1 activation. Leucine CREB regulated transcription coactivator 1 Mus musculus
3 Mutation of LRS amino acid residues important for leucine binding renders the mTORC1 pathway insensitive to intracellular levels of amino acids. Leucine CREB regulated transcription coactivator 1 Mus musculus
