Mechanistic Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 Signaling Links Hypoxia to Increased IGFBP-1 Phosphorylation in Primary Human Decidualized Endometrial Stromal Cells [PDF]
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) bioavailability in pregnancy is governed by IGF binding protein (IGFBP-1) and its phosphorylation, which enhances the affinity of IGFBP-1 for the growth factor.

Transcriptional and Epigenetic Regulation by the Mechanistic Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 Pathway. [PDF]
Nutrient availability impacts health such that nutrient excess states can dysregulate epigenetic and transcriptional pathways to cause many diseases. Increasing evidence implicates aberrant regulation of nutrient signaling cascades as one means of communicating nutrient information to the epigenetic and transcriptional regulatory machinery.

Dynamin-dependent amino acid endocytosis activates mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). [PDF]
The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a master regulator of protein synthesis and potential target for modifying cellular metabolism in various conditions, including cancer and aging. mTORC1 activity is tightly regulated by the availability of extracellular amino acids, and previous studies have revealed that amino acids in the ...

RhoA modulates signaling through the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) in mammalian cells. [PDF]
The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) in complex 1 (mTORC1) pathway integrates signals generated by hormones and nutrients to control cell growth and metabolism. The activation state of mTORC1 is regulated by a variety of GTPases including Rheb and Rags.

Mechanistic Target of Rapamycin Complex 1: From a Nutrient Sensor to a Key Regulator of Metabolism and Health. [PDF]
Mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a multi-protein complex widely found in eukaryotes. It serves as a central signaling node to coordinate cell growth and metabolism by sensing diverse extracellular and intracellular inputs, including amino acid-, growth factor-, glucose-, and nucleotide-related signals.
