Abstract excerpt
The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a member of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase related kinase (PIKK) family, plays a central role in the regulation of cell growth. The cellular function of mTOR has been proposed based solely on loss-of-function analyses using the specific inhibitor rapamycin or RNAi-mediated knockdown. There have been recent reports of mTOR mutants with enhanced activity that were isolated...
