Phosphorylation and regulation of Akt/PKB by the rictor-mTOR complex

TL;DR: In this paper, the rictor-mTOR complex was used to identify compounds which modulate Akt activity mediated by the Rictor mTOR complex and methods for treating or preventing a disorder that is associated with aberrant Akt activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

mTOR Interacts with Raptor to Form a Nutrient-Sensitive Complex that Signals to the Cell Growth Machinery

TL;DR: It is reported that mTOR forms a stoichiometric complex with raptor, an evolutionarily conserved protein with at least two roles in the mTOR pathway that through its association with mTOR regulates cell size in response to nutrient levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prolonged rapamycin treatment inhibits mTORC2 assembly and Akt/PKB.

TL;DR: It is shown that rapamycin inhibits the assembly of mTORC2 and that, in many cell types, prolongedRapamycin treatment reduces the levels of m TORC2 below those needed to maintain Akt/PKB signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rictor, a novel binding partner of mTOR, defines a rapamycin-insensitive and raptor-independent pathway that regulates the cytoskeleton.

TL;DR: It is found that the rictor-mTOR complex modulates the phosphorylation of Protein Kinase C alpha (PKCalpha) and the actin cytoskeleton, suggesting that this aspect of TOR signaling is conserved between yeast and mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Growing roles for the mTOR pathway

TL;DR: Recent work identifying two structurally and functionally distinct mTOR-containing multiprotein complexes and TSC1/2, rheb, and AMPK as upstream regulators of mTOR is beginning to reveal how mTOR can sense diverse signals and produce a myriad of responses.
