Abstract
The mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), which promotes cell growth, is regulated by specific nutrients such as the amino acid leucine. In this issue, Nicklin et al. (2009) describe a mechanism by which glutamine facilitates the uptake of leucine, leading to mTORC1 activation.Entities:
