    Abstract Although essential amino acids regulate mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) and the integrated stress response (ISR), the role of cysteine is unknown. We found that in hepatoma HepG2 cells, cystine (oxidized form of cysteine) activated mTORC1 and suppressed the ISR. Cystine deprivation induced GSH efflux and extracellular degradation, which aimed to restore cellular cysteine. Inhibition of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) impaired the ability of GSH or cell-permeable GSH to restore mTORC1 signaling and the ISR, suggesting that the capacity of GSH to release cysteine, but not GSH per se, regulated the signaling networks. Inhibition of protein translation restored both mTORC1 signaling and the ISR during cystine starvation, suggesting the bulk of cellular cysteine was committed to the biosynthetic process. Cellular cysteine and GSH displayed overlapping protective roles in the suppression of ferroptosis, further supporting their cooperation in the regulation of cell signaling. Thus, cellular cysteine and its derivative GSH cooperate to regulate mTORC1 pathway, the ISR and ferroptosis.

    Abstract The metabolic property of skeletal muscle is highly malleable and adapts to various physiological demands by shifting energy-substrate metabolism. Skeletal muscle metabolism has a significant impact on whole-body metabolism and substrate utilization. Glucose and lipids are the main oxidative fuel substrates in skeletal muscle, and their utilization is coordinated by complex regulatory mechanisms. In people with Type 2 diabetes, glucose uptake and lipid oxidation in skeletal muscle are impaired. These metabolic defects are coupled to impaired insulin signaling. Exercise increases glucose uptake and lipid oxidation by an insulin-independent mechanism. The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) cascade is activated in response to metabolic stress and has therefore been implicated in the regulation of exercise-induced metabolic and gene regulatory responses. AMPK is a heterotrimeric complex composed of a catalytic α, and regulatory β and γ subunits. Selective regulation of AMPK in skeletal muscle may be achieved by targeting α1/β2/γ3 heterotrimeric complexes. Activation of AMPK enhances GLUT4 translocation of glucose uptake in skeletal muscle from Type 2 diabetic patients and animal models of the disease by an insulin-independent mechanism. Transgenic overexpression of mutated forms of the AMPK γ3 subunit provide evidence that activation of AMPK promotes lipid oxidation and prevents the development of skeletal muscle insulin resistance. Thus, AMPK provides a molecular entry point into novel regulatory pathways to enhance lipid and glucose metabolism in an effort to prevent and treat skeletal muscle insulin resistance associated with Type 2 diabetes.

    Abstract Induction of autophagy and the integrated stress response is important for amino acid homeostasis. It remains unknown whether the autophagy coregulates both mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling and the integrated stress response. In mouse C2C12 myotubes, we found that amino acid limitation induced autophagy and that the subsequent release of amino acid is required to sustain mTORC1 signaling. Inhibition of autophagy by bafilomycin A1 or chloroquine treatment during amino acid scarcity abolished mTORC1 signaling, an effect that could be rescued by inhibiting protein synthesis or amino acid supplementation, respectively. Autophagy is required to sustain the balance of both essential and nonessential amino acids during amino acid starvation, and it has a predominant role over the ubiquitin-proteasome system in the regulation of mTORC1. Inhibition of autophagy was found to activate the integrated stress response, as well as eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) and its target genes independent of amino acid availability. Conversely, autophagy induction via mTOR inhibition is sufficient to reduce eIF2α phosphorylation. Thus, autophagy protects the eIF2α-mediated stress response independent of amino acid supply in cultured myotubes. Our results showed that autophagy uniquely modulates mTORC1 and the integrated stress response in an amino acid-dependent and -independent manner, respectively.

    Abstract Chromatin modification contributes to pluripotency maintenance in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). However, the related mechanisms remain obscure. Here, we show that Npac, a “reader” of histone H3 lysine 36 trimethylation (H3K36me3), is required to maintain mouse ESC (mESC) pluripotency since knockdown of Npac causes mESC differentiation. Depletion of Npac in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) inhibits reprogramming efficiency. Furthermore, our chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) results of Npac reveal that Npac co-localizes with histone H3K36me3 in gene bodies of actively transcribed genes in mESCs. Interestingly, we find that Npac interacts with positive transcription elongation factor b (p-TEFb), Ser2-phosphorylated RNA Pol II (RNA Pol II Ser2P), and Ser5-phosphorylated RNA Pol II (RNA Pol II Ser5P). Furthermore, depletion of Npac disrupts transcriptional elongation of the pluripotency genes Nanog and Rif1. Taken together, we propose that Npac is essential for the transcriptional elongation of pluripotency genes by recruiting p-TEFb and interacting with RNA Pol II Ser2P and Ser5P.

    Abstract Activation of autophagy and elevation of glutamine synthesis represent key adaptations to maintain amino acid balance during starvation. In this study, we investigate the role of autophagy and glutamine on the regulation of mTORC1, a critical kinase that regulates cell growth and proliferation. We report that supplementation of glutamine alone is sufficient to restore mTORC1 activity during prolonged amino acid starvation. Inhibition of autophagy abolishes the restorative effect of glutamine, suggesting that reactivation of mTORC1 is autophagy-dependent. Inhibition of glutaminolysis or transamination impairs glutamine-mediated mTORC1 reactivation, suggesting glutamine reactivates mTORC1 specifically through its conversion to glutamate and restoration of non-essential amino acid pool. Despite a persistent drop in essential amino acid pool during amino acid starvation, crosstalk between glutamine and autophagy is sufficient to restore insulin sensitivity of mTORC1. Thus, glutamine metabolism and autophagy constitute a specific metabolic program which restores mTORC1 activity during amino acid starvation.mTORC1 is a critical kinase that regulates cell growth and proliferation. Here the authors show that glutamine metabolism is sufficient to restore mTORC1 activity during prolonged amino acid starvation in an autophagy-dependent manner.
