Leucine regulates autophagy via acetylation of the mTORC1 component raptor
Leucine is a critical amino acid that inhibits autophagy. Here, the authors show that the leucine inhibits autophagy in most cell types, predominantly via its catabolite acetyl CoA, which drives acetylation of raptor, which activates mTORC1, a negative regulator of this catabolic process.
