Abstract excerpt
The TOR genes were first identified in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by the isolation of mutants which exhibit dominant resistance to the immunosuppressive and antifungal drug rapamycin (Rm). The originally characterized Rm-resistant (RmR) TOR1-1 and TOR2-1 alleles contain an Arg in place of a conserved Ser residue, which lies adjacent to the phosphatidylinositol (PI) kinase-related domain of TOR (Ser1972 in TOR1;...
