Lysosomal NKG7 restrains mTORC1 activity to promote CD8+ T cell durability and tumor control

Abstract excerpt

During infection and cancer, mTORC1-mediated metabolic regulation impacts CD8+ T cell effector expansion and memory development. However, the mechanisms by which CD8+ T cells regulate mTORC1 to support their unique metabolic requirements remain unknown. Here we show that NKG7, a lysosomal protein whose expression is restricted to cytotoxic lymphocytes, negatively regulates mTORC1 recruitment and activation by...
