Journal ArticleDOI
Targeting mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) for health and diseases.
TL;DR: These findings demonstrate the importance of growth control in the pathology of major diseases and overall human health, and underscore the therapeutic potential of the mTOR pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutrient regulates Tor1 nuclear localization and association with rDNA promoter
TL;DR: It is shown that Tor1 is dynamically distributed in the cytoplasm and nucleus in yeast, indicating that the spatial regulation of TOR complex 1 (TORC1) might be involved in differential control of its target genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tripartite regulation of Gln3p by TOR, Ure2p, and phosphatases.
Paula Bertram,Jae H. Choi,John Carvalho,Wandong Ai,Chenbo Zeng,Ting-Fung Chan,X. F.Steven Zheng +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that Tor1p physically interacts with Gln3p, and a tripartite regulatory mechanism by which the phosphorylation of Gln 3p is regulated is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rab1A Is an mTORC1 Activator and a Colorectal Oncogene
Janice D. Thomas,Yan Jie Zhang,Yan Jie Zhang,Yue Hua Wei,Jun-Hung Cho,Laura E. Morris,Hui Yun Wang,Hui Yun Wang,X. F.Steven Zheng,X. F.Steven Zheng +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Rab1 is an m TORC1 activator and an oncogene and that hyperactive AA signaling through Rab1A overexpression drives oncogenesis and renders cancer cells prone to mTORC1-targeted therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
A chemical genomics approach toward understanding the global functions of the target of rapamycin protein (TOR)
TL;DR: This approach offers a simple and thorough analysis of genetic interaction on a genomic scale and measures genetic interaction at different possible levels and can be used to study the functions of other drug targets and to identify novel protein components of a conserved core biological process such as DNA damage checkpoint/repair that is interfered with by a cell-permeable chemical compound.
