AMPK regulates protein translation through its effects on mTOR and pre-rRNA synthesis. The activation of AMPK suppresses mTOR activity, thus interfering with translation initiation. AMPK also phosphorylates TIF-IA to prevent the assembly of pre-rRNA transcription initiation complex, thus prevent the synthesis of ribosome which is required for protein translation.
