Fig. 8. Proteostatic consequences of PKB/Akt-mTORC1 pathway manipulation in muscle.

Fig. 8

Major signaling networks involved in PKB/Akt-mTORC1-mediated muscle proteostasis in control mice (wild type, upper left), with sustained mTORC1 activity (TSCmKO, upper right), sustained mTORC1 activity and Nrf1-kd-mediated proteasome depletion (lower left) and sustained mTORC1 activity with constitutive PKB/Akt activation (lower right). Impairing ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated protein breakdown under conditions with high mTORC1 activity disrupts proteostasis and leads to unhealthy muscles, independent of muscle growth status.
