Our new FASEBJ paper. We looked into mTOR Ser1261 phosphorylation in human and mouse muscle, proposed by Diane Fingar's lab to be first an Akt and then AMPK site regulating mTORC1 and 2 activity. Clearly AMPK site but impact on mTORC unclear in our hands faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1096/...
mTOR Ser1261 is an AMPK‐dependent phosphosite in mouse and human skeletal muscle not required for mTORC2 activity
mTOR Ser1261 is an AMPK-dependent phosphosite in human and mouse skeletal muscle that responds to exercise but not insulin, plays an unclear role in mTORC1 regulation, and is not required for mTORC2 ....

Transcriptomic and lipidomic profiling reveals distinct bioactive lipid signatures in slow and fast muscles and highlights the role of resolvin‐D2 in fiber type determination during myogenesis
Transcriptomics (bulk and single-nuclei RNAseq) and lipidomics (mass spectrometry) analysis showed that slow-twitch muscle (soleus) is enriched in bioactive lipids derived from docosahexaenoic acid (...

Holy shit. You think Tylenol causes DNA damage?! Just hearing you make that claim is the biggest update I've made in a while, and lead to some double-checking.

Does this research jive, or not jive, with your model here?
