mTOR complex 2 signaling and functions.
The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) plays a central role in cellular growth and metabolism. mTOR forms two distinct protein complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2. Much is known about the regulation and functions of mTORC1 due to availability of a natural compound, rapamycin, that inhibits this complex. Studies that define mTORC2 cellular functions and signaling have lagged behind. The development...
متن کاملRegulation of mTOR complex 2 signaling in neurofibromatosis 2-deficient target cell types.
Inactivating mutations in the neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) tumor suppressor gene results in the development of schwannomas and meningiomas. Using NF2-deficient meningioma cells and tumors, together with the normal cellular counterparts that meningiomas derive, arachnoid cells, we identified merlin as a novel negative regulator of mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1). We now show that merlin positively regulate...
متن کاملTORC-specific phosphorylation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR): phospho-Ser2481 is a marker for intact mTOR signaling complex 2.
The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) serine/threonine kinase is the catalytic component of two evolutionarily conserved signaling complexes. mTOR signaling complex 1 (mTORC1) is a key regulator of growth factor and nutrient signaling. S6 kinase is the best-characterized downstream effector of mTORC1. mTOR signaling complex 2 (mTORC2) has a role in regulating the actin cytoskeleton and activ...

متن کاملmTOR Signaling.
The scarcity of nutrients/energy interspersed with sporadic periods of abundance means that cells must transition between anabolic and catabolic states. An important protein that has evolved to respond to this need is the target of rapamycin (TOR). TOR is a well-conserved serine/ threonine kinase that plays an important role in the signaling network that controls growth and metabolism in respon...
