Hexosamine Pathway Activation Improves Protein Homeostasis through the Integrated Stress Response

Summary: Activation of the hexosamine pathway (HP) through gain-of-function mutations in its rate-limiting enzyme glutamine fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase (GFAT-1) ameliorates proteotoxicity and increases lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans. Here, we investigate the role of the HP in mammalian...
