Abstract excerpt
TOR protein kinases are key regulators of cell growth in eukaryotes. TOR is also known as the target protein for the immunosuppressive and potentially anticancer drug rapamycin. The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe has two TOR homologs. tor1+ is required under starvation and a variety of stresses, while tor2+ is an essential gene. Surprisingly, to date no rapamycin-sensitive TOR-dependent function has been...
