The Changing Role of mTOR Kinase in the Maintenance of Protein Synthesis during Human Cytomegalovirus Infection
10 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinase occurs in mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) and complex 2 (mTORC2), primarily differing by the substrate specificity factors raptor (in mTORC1) and rictor (in mTORC2). Both complexes are activated during human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection. mTORC1 phosphorylates eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E)-binding protein (4E-BP1) and p70S6 kinase (S6K) in uninfected cells, and...
