Abstract excerpt
The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a Ser/Thr (S/T) protein kinase, which controls mRNA translation initiation by modulating phosphorylation of the translational regulators PHAS-I and p70(S6K). Here we show that in vitro mTOR is able to phosphorylate these two regulators at comparable rates. Both (S/T)P sites, such as Thr36, Thr45, and Thr69 in PHAS-I and the h(S/T)h site (where h is a hydrophobic amino...
