PHD1 controls muscle mTORC1 in a hydroxylation-independent manner by stabilizing leucyl tRNA synthetase

mTORC1 is an important regulator of muscle mass. Here, the authors show that the PHD1 controls muscle mass in a hydroxylation-independent manner. PHD1 prevents the degradation of leucine sensor LRS during oxygen and amino acid depletion to ensure effective mTORC1 activation in response to leucine.
