Show abstract
Subcellular localization of mTOR is thought to be key for regulating cell size and growth, but the relative contributions of mRNA versus protein localization are unclear. We used reporter mRNA localization assays to identify two distinct mTOR Localizing Sequences (MLS) in its 5UTR, in addition to the localization activity already reported for the 3UTR. Gene-edited mice with deletion of both 5UTR MLS are mTOR hypomorphs with reduced body weight and brain size. In contrast, a mouse line lacking the second 5UTR MLS and the 3UTR retains near normal overall mTOR expression levels with specific subcellular perturbation of mTOR localization to neuronal axons. This subcellular mTOR deficit affects axonal local protein synthesis and neuronal growth. Thus, mTOR transcripts are localized by multiple UTR sequences, and subcellular localization of mTOR mRNA regulates local protein synthesis and neuronal growth.

"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.
