Abstract excerpt
Rapamycin and its derivatives have now emerged as an attractive therapeutic strategy with both immunosuppressant and antitumor properties. In addition, rapamycin has been proposed as a calorie restriction mimetic to extend the life span of various organisms. The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe (S. pombe) serves as a valuable genetic model system to study the mechanism(s) of drug action as well as to...
