Abstract excerpt
The TOR pathway mediates nutrient-responsive regulation of cell growth and metabolism in animals. TOR Complex 1 activity depends, amongst other things, on amino acid availability. MAP4K3 was recently implicated in amino-acid signaling in cell culture. We report here the physiological characterization of MAP4K3 mutant flies. Flies lacking MAP4K3 have reduced TORC1 activity detected by phosphorylation of S6K and...
