Journal ArticleDOI

TOR signaling in growth and metabolism.

TL;DR: The physiological consequences of mammalianTORC1 dysregulation suggest that inhibitors of mammalian TOR may be useful in the treatment of cancer, cardiovascular disease, autoimmunity, and metabolic disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two TOR complexes, only one of which is rapamycin sensitive, have distinct roles in cell growth control

TL;DR: Two functionally distinct TOR complexes account for the diversity, specificity, and selective rapamycin inhibition of TOR signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of Protor as a novel Rictor-binding component of mTOR complex-2

TL;DR: It is shown that detergents such as Triton X-100 or n-octylglucoside dissociate mTOR and mLST8 from a complex of Protor-1, Sin1 and Rictor, and that ProtOr-1 is not required for the assembly of other mTORC2 subunits into a complex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Important role of the LKB1–AMPK pathway in suppressing tumorigenesis in PTEN-deficient mice

TL;DR: The results demonstrate the potential of AMPK activators, such as clinically approved metformin, as anticancer agents, which will suppress tumour development by triggering a physiological signalling pathway that potently inhibits cell growth.
