Abstract

Nutritional stress caused by amino acid starvation involves a coordinated cellular response that includes the global decrease of protein synthesis and the increased production of cell defense proteins. Part of this response is the induction of transport system A for neutral amino acids that leads to the recovery of cell volume and amino acid levels once extracellular amino acid availability is restored. Hypertonic stress also increases system A activity as a mechanism to promote a rapid recovery of cell volume. Both a starvation-dependent and a hypertonic increase of system A transport activity are due to the induction of SNAT2, the ubiquitous member of SLC38 family. The molecular mechanisms underlying SNAT2 induction were investigated in tissue culture cells. We show that the increase in system A transport activity and SNAT2 mRNA levels upon amino acid starvation were blunted in cells with a mutant eIF2alpha that cannot be phosphorylated. In contrast, the induction of system A activity and SNAT2 mRNA levels by hypertonic stress were independent of eIF2alpha phosphorylation. The translational control of the SNAT2 mRNA during amino acid starvation was also investigated. It is shown that the 5'-untranslated region contains an int...Continue Reading
