Mammalian or mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a clinically effective therapeutic target for diseases such as cancer, diabetes, aging, and neurodegeneration, yet an efficient tool to monitor mTORC1 inhibition in living cells or tissues is still lacking. Here we devised a genetically encoded mTORC1 inhibition reporter termed mTIR that exhibits a highly contrasted fluorescence puncta pattern in response to mTORC1 inhibition. mTIR specifically senses physiological, pharmacological and genetic inhibition of mTORC1 signaling in living cells and tissues. Importantly, mTIR can be applied as an powerful tool for imaging-based visual screening of mTORC1 inhibitors. By this method, we identified histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) that selectively inhibit mTORC1 by inducing nutrient-sensing gene expression. Thus, mTIR is a unique living cell reporter efficiently detecting the inhibition of mTORC1 activity, and the HDACi Panobinostat transcriptionally target mTORC1 signaling via amino acids sensing.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
