FLCN–RagC signaling makes mTORC1 substrate-selective for TFE3 phosphorylation under amino-acid cues.

Key findings

TFE3 phosphorylation depends strongly on amino acids; FLCN promotes RagC activity to recruit TFE3.

Methodology

Manipulated amino acids, GATOR, FLCN, and RagC in C2C12 cells and read TFE3 phosphorylation/localization.

Limitations

Mostly cell-culture mechanism; organismal physiology needs separate tests.
