mTOR Signaling Pathway: Regulation by the Lysosome

The video tutorial covers the role of lysosomes and mTOR signaling in cellular processes. It begins with the discovery of lysosomes and their function in nutrient sensing. The tutorial explains mTOR complexes, their regulation by energy and nutrients, and their role in protein synthesis. It details the process of autophagy and how amino acids regulate mTOR through lysosomal machinery. The video also discusses the activation of mTOR and its impact on protein synthesis, including the regulation of initiation and elongation factors. The lesson concludes with a summary and a call to action for viewers.
