Freiburg, Germany) visited our group and gave a talk on "A molecular switch: mutual inhibition of MTORC1 and ULK1". Abstract: Protein synthesis, which uses nutrients, and autophagy, which generates nutrients through [...] three serine/threonine-specific protein kinases, AMPK, MTOR and ULK1, are central. Recently, it has been discovered that MTOR and ULK1 repress one another. Here, through construction and analysis of a [...] and ULK1 may allow activation of autophagy and protein synthesis in a mutually exclusive, all-or-none manner. Moreover, when mutual inhibition is combined with slow negative feedback from ULK1 to AMPK
