"Here, we show that Erk may play a critical role in TSC progression through posttranslational inactivation of TSC2. Erk-dependent phosphorylation leads to TSC1-TSC2 dissociation and markedly impairs TSC2 ability to inhibit mTOR signaling, cell proliferation, and oncogenic transformation. |Serine to alanine substitution at S664 or double S664A/S540A mutagenesis resulted in a marked reduction in TSC2 phosphorylation to a similar extent. In contrast, S540A substitution only moderately impaired TSC2 phosphorylation (Figure 3D), corroborating the notion that in vivo S664 is the most relevant residue for Erk-mediated phosphorylation."
