Abstract excerpt
The yeast target of rapamycin (Tor) kinases, Tor1 and Tor2, belong to the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-related family of proteins, which are involved in the cellular response to DNA damage and changes in nutrient conditions. In contrast to yeast, many eukaryotes possess a single Tor kinase. Regardless of the number of Tor kinases in an organism, two distinct complexes involving Tor proteins exist in eukaryotes,...
