Energy- and temperature-dependent transport of integral proteins to the inner nuclear membrane via the nuclear pore [PDF]
Resident integral proteins of the inner nuclear membrane (INM) are synthesized as membrane-integrated proteins on the peripheral endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and are transported to the INM throughout interphase using an unknown trafficking mechanism.

The Enigma of Rapamycin Dosage [PDF]
Abstract The mTOR pathway is a critical regulator of cell growth, proliferation, metabolism, and survival. Dysregulation of mTOR signaling has been observed in most cancers and, thus, the mTOR pathway has been extensively studied for therapeutic intervention.

Transient rapamycin treatment can increase lifespan and healthspan in middle-aged mice [PDF]
The FDA approved drug rapamycin increases lifespan in rodents and delays age-related dysfunction in rodents and humans. Nevertheless, important questions remain regarding the optimal dose, duration, and mechanisms of action in the context of healthy ...

AbstractRapamycin (1) is a macrocyclic natural product, established as a potent immunosuppressant and currently of interest to the scientific community as the framework for a series of novel anticancer drugs. Extensive studies have culminated in a new convergent total synthesis of 1, which features a number of group‐derived methodologies and an unusual

GSK3-mediated raptor phosphorylation supports amino acid-dependent Q2 mTORC1-directed signalling [PDF]
The mammalian or mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1 (mTORC1) is a ubiquitously expressed multimeric protein kinase complex that integrates nutrient and growth factor signals for the co-ordinated regulation of cellular metabolism and cell ...

Inhibition of the Mechanistic Target of Rapamycin (mTOR)–Rapamycin and Beyond [PDF]
Rapamycin is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved immunosuppressant and anticancer agent discovered in the soil of Easter Island in the early 1970s. Rapamycin is a potent and selective inhibitor of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) protein kinase, which acts as a central integrator of nutrient signaling pathways.

The novel mTOR inhibitor RAD001 (Everolimus) induces antiproliferative effects in human pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor cells [PDF]
Background/Aim: Tumors exhibiting constitutively activated PI(3) K/Akt/mTOR signaling are hypersensitive to mTOR inhibitors such as RAD001 (everolimus) which is presently being investigated in clinical phase II trials in various tumor entities, including
