An mTORC1-mediated negative feedback loop constrains amino acid-induced FLCN-Rag activation in renal cells with TSC2 loss

The MiT/TFE transcription factors are phosphorylated and inactivated by mTORC1. Here, authors demonstrate that TFEB is paradoxically hypophosphorylated and activated in cells with TSC2 loss due to impaired lysosomal recruitment of the FLCN:FNIP2 complex in renal cells.
