Under conditions of amino acid deficiency, mammalian cells activate a nutrient-sensing kinase known as general control nonderepressible 2 (GCN2). The activation GCN2 results in the phosphorylation alpha subunit eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF2α), which can be phosphorylated by three other integrated stress response (ISR) kinases, reducing overall protein synthesis. also promotes translation specific mRNAs, some encode transcription factors that enhance genes involved synthesis, transport,...
