TLDR
The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway regulates many fundamental metabolic and physiological processes, including lipid metabolism, with an emphasis on recent findings from in vivo models regarding the role of mTORC2 in lipolysis, lipogenesis, and adipogenesis.

The Nrf2 regulatory network provides an interface between redox and intermediary metabolism

TL;DR: Observations suggest Nrf2 directs metabolic reprogramming during stress, which would enable the factor to orchestrate adaptive responses to diverse forms of stress.

Making new contacts: the mTOR network in metabolism and signalling crosstalk

TL;DR: Emerging evidence provides new insight into the control of mTOR by other pathways such as Hippo, WNT and Notch signalling, and this progress has expanded the list of downstream effectors and upstream regulators of m TOR signalling.

Activation of a Metabolic Gene Regulatory Network Downstream of mTOR Complex 1

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that mTORC1 activation is sufficient to stimulate specific metabolic pathways, including glycolysis, the oxidative arm of the pentose phosphate pathway, and de novo lipid biosynthesis, through the activation of a transcriptional program affecting metabolic gene targets of hypoxia-inducible factor and sterol regulatory element-binding protein.

DEPTOR Is an mTOR Inhibitor Frequently Overexpressed in Multiple Myeloma Cells and Required for Their Survival

TL;DR: A novel mTOR-interacting protein whose deregulated overexpression in multiple myeloma cells represents a mechanism for activating PI3K/Akt signaling and promoting cell survival.

SREBP Activity Is Regulated by mTORC1 and Contributes to Akt-Dependent Cell Growth

TL;DR: The results suggest that the PI3K/Akt/TOR pathway regulates protein and lipid biosynthesis in an orchestrated manner and that both processes are required for cell growth.

Rapamycin-Induced Insulin Resistance Is Mediated by mTORC2 Loss and Uncoupled from Longevity

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that rapamycin disrupted a second mTOR complex, mTORC2, in vivo and that mTORc2 was required for the insulin-mediated suppression of hepatic gluconeogenesis.
