using a Chinese hamster ovary cell line containing a temperature-sensitive mutation in leucyl-tRNA synthetase which is active at 34 °C but defective at 39.5 °C, it is shown that shifting the cells to the latter temperature mimics the effects of amino acid starvation on protein synthesis. Leucine deprivation markedly inhibits mTORC1 signaling in these cells, but shifting the cells to the nonpermissive temperature for the synthetase does not. These data indicate that uncharged tRNALeu does not switch off mTORC1 signaling and suggest that mTORC1 is controlled by a distinct pathway that senses the availability of amino acids
