Role of activating transcription factor 4 in the hepatic response to amino acid depletion by asparaginase

Abstract The anti-leukemic agent asparaginase activates the integrated stress response (ISR) kinase GCN2 and inhibits signaling via mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). The study objective was to investigate the protective role of activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) in controllin...
