Towards an understanding of protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) function in mouse development [PDF]
Protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) belongs to a subfamily of serine/threonine protein kniases called AGC protein kinases. Homologues of PKB can be found in worms, flies and mammals.

Structural Insights into the Giardia lamblia Target of Rapamycin Homolog: A Bioinformatics Approach
TOR proteins, also known as targets of rapamycin, are serine/threonine kinases involved in various signaling pathways that regulate cell growth. The protozoan parasite Giardia lamblia is the causative agent of giardiasis, a neglected infectious disease ...

mTOR modulates CD8+ T cell differentiation in mice with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis
CD8+ T cells are a vital component of the adaptive immune system and important for eliminating intracellular pathogens. Notably, mTOR activity is associated with CD8+ T effector memory (Tem) cell differentiation in fungal infections.

Regulation of the mTOR/S6K pathway by cellular energy [PDF]
The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway integrates positive and negative signals that control cellular growth, metabolism and survival. mTOR exists in two different complexes, mTOR Complex1 and mTOR Complex2.

Quantitative phosphoproteomics reveal that mTOR regulates cell growth and proliferation by phosphorylating a functionally diverse set of substrates [PDF]
The atypical Ser/Thr kinase target of rapamycin (TOR) is a central controller of cell growth and proliferation. TOR forms two distinct multiprotein complexes, TORC1 and TORC2, which are structurally and functionally conserved from yeast to humans.

Characterization of the yeast rapamycin-sensitive phosphoproteome [PDF]
Cell growth is a tightly regulated process, where a cell adapts its growth according to nutrient availability and cellular stress. Tor (Target Of Rapamycin) is an evolutionary conserved protein kinase and central controller of cell growth.

On the role of ras and BRF1 in the regulation of ARE-dependent mRNA-turnover [PDF]
Stability of the mRNAs of cytokines, chemokines, growth-factors, protooncogenes and others are regulated via an AU-rich element (ARE) in their 3’ untranslated region (UTR).

TcALS knockdown accelerates metamorphosis via insulin signaling in Tribolium castaneum
RNAi silencing of TcALS accelerates larva‐to‐pupa metamorphosis in Tribolium castaneum. Abstract Insect metamorphosis is an evolutionary adaptation precisely regulated by nutritional and hormonal cues. The red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum, a major stored‐product pest, serves as an excellent model for studying this process.

Proteomic and Transcriptomic Signatures of Poor Asthma Symptom Control in the U‐BIOPRED Cohort
No stable features were identified as associated with asthma symptom control in transcriptomics or sputum proteomics. Higher TWEAKR/TNFRSF12A and MBL/MBP‐C serum levels increased the odds of uncontrolled symptoms, while higher MK08/MAPK8 and CD5L serum levels decreased the odds, after adjustment for clinical variables.

Phenotype selection reveals coevolution of muscle glycogen and protein and PTEN as a gate keeper for the accretion of muscle mass in adult female mice. [PDF]
We have investigated molecular mechanisms for muscle mass accretion in a non-inbred mouse model (DU6P mice) characterized by extreme muscle mass. This extreme muscle mass was developed during 138 generations of phenotype selection for high protein ...
