The regulation of TFEB and ALP. mTORC1 holds TFEB in a phosphorylated state. Phosphorylated TFEB binds to the 14-3-3 protein, which sequesters it in the cytoplasm. However, mTORC1 dependent/independent pathways that activate TFEB can dephosphorylate TFEB, and dephosphorylated TFEB translocates to the nucleus and binds to the CLEAR sequence, leading to upregulation of the autophagy and lysosomal genes.
