Regulation of amino acid transporter trafficking by mTORC1 in primary human trophoblast cells is mediated by the ubiquitin ligase Nedd4-2
Keyword(s):
We demonstrate that mTOR complex 1 modulates amino acid transport in primary human trophoblast cells by regulating Nedd4-2 mediated ubiquitination and plasma membrane trafficking of specific transporter isoforms, which may constitute a molecular mechanisms underlying abnormal human fetal growth.
