| Research Abstract |
Liver has the critical role in amino acids uptake and protein synthesis from amino acid as well as some insulin actions. p70 rebosomal protein kinase 1 (S6K1) is the key regulator of translation and its over activation induces insulin resistance by negative feedback to IRS1. However, its regulation of S6K1 has not be clear yet. In this study, we hypothesized that Vps34 and Rheb play a role of mTOR-S6K1 signaling as a nutrient sensor and GTP-bound Rheb induces endosome trafficking to activate mTOR. There results indicate Vps34 and Rheb, which is activated by nutritional uptake, regulate S6K1 and translocation of Rheb is critical for activation of mTOR-S6K1 signaling.
