  "summary": "Protein is unique among macronutrients due to its nitrogen content and that its building blocks, essential amino acids, cannot be synthesized by animals. Additionally, animals lack specialized amino acid storage sites, necessitating a continuous dietary intake. In the face of insufficient dietary protein, how do animals manage nitrogen limitation? Using Drosophila, we reveal a previously…",
