Brief description Genes translationally up-regulated by serum in MEF cells (embryonic fibroblast) lacking TSC2 [GeneID=7249].
Full description or abstract The tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) proteins TSC1 and TSC2 regulate protein translation by inhibiting the serine/threonine kinase mTORC1 (for mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1). However, how TSC1 and TSC2 control overall protein synthesis and the translation of specific mRNAs in response to different mitogenic and nutritional stimuli is largely unknown. We show here that serum withdrawal inhibits mTORC1 signaling, causes disassembly of translation initiation complexes, and causes mRNA redistribution from polysomes to subpolysomes in wild-type mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs). In contrast, these responses are defective in Tsc1(-/-) or Tsc2(-/-) MEFs. Microarray analysis of polysome- and subpolysome-associated mRNAs uncovered specific mRNAs that are translationally regulated by serum, 90% of which are TSC1 and TSC2 dependent. Surprisingly, the mTORC1 inhibitor, rapamycin, abolished mTORC1 activity but only affected approximately 40% of the serum-regulated mRNAs. Serum-dependent signaling through mTORC1 and polysome redistribution of global and individual mRNAs were restored upon re-expression of TSC1 and TSC2. Serum-responsive mRNAs that are sensitive to inhibition by rapamycin are highly enriched for terminal oligopyrimidine and for very short 5' and 3' untranslated regions. These data demonstrate that the TSC1/TSC2 complex regulates protein translation through mainly mTORC1-dependent mechanisms and implicates a discrete profile of deregulated mRNA translation in tuberous sclerosis pathology.
