The master regulator of lysosome biogenesis, TFEB, is regulated by MTORC1 through phosphorylation at S211, and a S211A mutation increases nuclear localization. However, TFEB localizes diffusely in both cytoplasm and nucleus and, as we show, retains regulation by MTORC1. Here, we report that endogenous TFEB is phosphorylated at S122 in an MTORC1-dependent manner, that S122 is phosphorylated in vitro by recombinant MTOR, and that S122 is important for TFEB regulation by MTORC1. Specifically, nuclear localization following MTORC1 inhibition is blocked by a S122D mutation (despite S211 dephosphorylation). Furthermore, such a mutation inhibits lysosomal biogenesis induced by Torin1. These data reveal a novel mechanism of TFEB regulation by MTORC1 essential for lysosomal biogenesis.

Autophagy-dependent survival relies on a crucial oscillatory response during cellular stress. Although oscillatory behaviour is typically associated with processes like the cell cycle or circadian rhythm, emerging experimental and theoretical evidence suggests that such periodic dynamics may explain conflicting experimental results in autophagy research. In this study, we demonstrate that oscillatory behaviour in the regulation of the non-selective, stress-induced macroautophagy arises from a series of interlinked negative and positive feedback loops within the mTORC1-AMPK-ULK1 regulatory triangle.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a highly heterogeneous disease with varying remyelination potential across individuals and between lesions. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the potential to remyelinate remain poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to take advantage of the intrinsic heterogeneity in remyelinating capacity between MS donors and lesions to uncover known and novel pro-remyelinating molecules for MS therapies.

Platinum-based chemotherapeutics, such as cisplatin and carboplatin, are widely used to treat various malignancies. However, the development of chemoresistance remains a significant challenge, limiting their efficacy. This review explores the multifaceted mechanisms of platinum-based chemoresistance, with a particular focus on the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling pathway, which plays a critical role in promoting tumor survival and resistance to platinum compounds.

The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) functions as a master regulator of cell growth and proliferation. We previously demonstrated that intracellular calcium ion (Ca) concentration modulates the mTORC1 pathway via binding of the Ca sensor protein calmodulin (CaM) to tuberous sclerosis complex 2 (TSC2), a critical negative regulator of mTORC1. However, the precise molecular mechanism by which Ca/CaM modulates mTORC1 activity remains unclear.

Macroautophagy, a universal cellular process, sends cellular material to lysosomes for breakdown and is often activated by stressors like hypoxia or drug exposure. It is vital for protein balance, neurotransmitter release, synaptic function, and neuron survival. The role of macroautophagy in substance use disorders is dual.
