Abstract excerpt
The TSC/Rheb/TOR signaling pathway plays important roles in growth and cell cycle regulation. The main player TOR belongs to the PI3K-related protein kinase family. Recent studies utilizing fission yeast Tor2 have led to the identification of a number of amino acid changes that lead to inactivation as well as activation of TOR kinase. Also, constitutive active mutations in its upstream regulator, Rheb, have been...
