Nutrient deprivation and other stress stimuli elicit metabolic changes (such as the induction of autophagy and activation of FOXO transcription factors) that help an organism adapt to stressful conditions. A link between these stress response pathways is revealed by the finding that FOXO3 upregulates the expression of glutamine synthetase to promote glutamine accumulation, inhibit mTOR signalling and promote autophagy.
