Abstract excerpt
The serine/threonine protein kinase Akt is a critical regulator of cell growth and survival in response to growth factors. A key step in Akt activation is phosphorylation at Ser-473 by the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 2 (mTORC2). Although Rictor is required for the stability and activity of mTORC2, little is known about functional regions or post-translational modifications within Rictor that are...
