Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling genes in decapod crustaceans: cloning and tissue expression of mTOR, Akt, Rheb, and S6 kinase in the green crab, Carcinus maenas, and blackback land crab, Gecarcinus lateralis [PDF]
Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) controls global translation of mRNA into protein by phosphorylating p70 S6 kinase (S6K) and eIF4E-binding protein-1. Akt and Rheb, a GTP-binding protein, regulate mTOR protein kinase activity. Molting in crustaceans

Insulin utilizes the PI 3-kinase pathway to inhibit SP-A gene expression in lung epithelial cells
Background It has been proposed that high insulin levels may cause delayed lung development in the fetuses of diabetic mothers. A key event in lung development is the production of adequate amounts of pulmonary surfactant. Insulin inhibits the expression

Phosphatidic Acid Regulates Systemic Inflammatory Responses by Modulating the Akt-Mammalian Target of Rapamycin-p70 S6 Kinase 1 Pathway [PDF]
Macrophages are pivotal effector cells in the innate immune system. When microbial products bind to pathogen recognition receptors, macrophages are activated and release a broad array of mediators, such as cytokines, that orchestrate the inflammatory responses of the host.

The Р60-S6K1 isoform of ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 is a product of alternative mRNA translation
Ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (S6K1) is a well-known downstream effector of mTORC1 (mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1) participating primarily in the regulation of cell growth and metabolism.

Impairing the production of ribosomal RNA activates mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 signalling and downstream translation factors [PDF]
Ribosome biogenesis is a key process for maintaining protein synthetic capacity in dividing or growing cells, and requires coordinated production of ribosomal proteins and ribosomal RNA (rRNA), including the processing of the latter.

Differential Regulation of the Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase/Akt and p70 S6 Kinase Pathways by the α1A-Adrenergic Receptor in Rat-1 Fibroblasts [PDF]
Phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase and its downstream effector Akt are thought to be signaling intermediates that link cell surface receptors to p70 S6 kinase. We examined the effect of a G(q)-coupled receptor on PI 3-kinase/Akt signaling and p70 S6 kinase activation using Rat-1 fibroblasts stably expressing the human alpha(1A)-adrenergic receptor ...

FMRP S499 is phosphorylated independent of mTORC1-S6K1 activity. [PDF]
Hyperactive mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is associated with cognitive deficits in several neurological disorders including tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). The phosphorylation of the mRNA-binding protein FMRP reportedly depends on mTOR complex 1

Blue light impairs cornea and corneal wound healing by downregulating VCAM1 partly
Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of long-term pollution from different wavelengths of light on the corneal epithelium (CE) and identify potential biomarkers. Rabbits were exposed to red, green, blue, white, and environmental light for
