Increased mTORC1 signaling UPRegulates stress

Mol Cell. 2008 Mar 14;29(5):533-5. doi: 10.1016/j.molcel.2008.02.011.

Abstract

In this issue of Molecular Cell, Ozcan et al. (2008) show that the loss of the tuberous sclerosis tumor suppressor complex induces endoplasmic reticulum stress, leading to attenuation of insulin receptor signaling activity via the unfolded protein response.
