Loss of GFAT-1 feedback regulation activates the hexosamine pathway that modulates protein homeostasis

Mutations in the hexosamine pathway key enzyme glutamine fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase (GFAT-1) improve protein quality control and extend C. elegans lifespan. Here the authors present the crystal structures of full-length human GFAT-1 alone and with bound ligands and perform activity assays...
