Extensive location bias of the GPCR-dependent translatome via site-selective activation of mTOR.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) modulate various physiological functions by re-wiring cellular gene expression in response to extracellular signals. Control of gene expression by GPCRs has been studied almost exclusively at the transcriptional level, neglecting an extensive amount of regulation that takes place translationally. Hence, little is known about the nature and mechanisms of gene-specific post-transcriptional regulation downstream of receptor activation.
